Unless you have a good reason not to, use "WebCams" that implement

The use of a standard protocol makes life much easier.

I was under the impression that the quality would be bad and/or they
would require a proprietary client application that only runs on
Windows, etc... Am I mistaken? If the cam has it's own webserver, is
it simply serving static frames ever x seconds, or streams video as
well?
look at the Axis cameras.
Sorry for the basic questions, but I hadn't even considered that
approach. I was planning on using bktr(4) with capture cards and
cameras with coax/rca/s-video out.
that may also be possible, but afaik it's mostly used for watching
tv, at least the manual page doesn't talk about the multi-input
cards you'd probably want to use.
Thanks for the tips!
Hopefully I'll have something useful to report soon(tm).
