We have four Netbotz 500 camera units for our server rooms, each with

isn't the best.  The temperature, humidity, and airflow sensors are
handy.  They use Linux under the hood and are expandable.

Hope that helps.

You should also look into what cameras software like ZoneMinder recommends using, since it's a Linux security camera application they would have a good idea.  That said, camera's with their own built in webserver like the Panasonic BL-C30 are pretty sweet too.  No dependencies on software because you just hit the camera's web page. :)
