Does anyone know of a company that does Linux based video security

I'm talking about the installation of camera and network hardware that
will talk to Linux software - not just the software itself.
Do you mean Linux in an IP camera or the in the DVR connected to an analog
camera?
Much simpler than that... I'm looking for an installer who can do the
wiring and install cameras (some concealed). As far as I know, not all
cameras and installations talk nicely to linux, and that would be a
requirement, hence my post to this list.
I'm aware of a monitoring system called Zoneminder which looks like it
might work well. It's also possible to cobble together simple scripts to
capture time-lapse images - I did bash scripts for that once just as an
exercise.
What I need is someone who understands the installation and the cameras
themselves.
Anyhow have a look here:

This mob makes Linux based 4-16 Ch DVR Cards
They sell in Aust at: http://www.ozspy.com.au/cart/products.asp?ID=392
I am also looking at a video system for farm monitoring. My system needs
wireless.
I have not yet decided to go for either:
- analog video -> wireless Tx ~~~~> wireless Rx -> DVR -> Linux box -> modem or
- IP camera -> WAP ~~~~~> WAP -> Linux box -> modem
Someone mentioned Mobotix. They look great but I got a price on a M24 last week.
They are about $2000 in Aust and then add the lens of your choosing for $165.
Non IP camera are 100's of dollars and not 1000's.
