Closed Circuit Video on Linux

I'm with Charles on this one - what does Linux bring to the picture?  
(If you'll excuse the phrase...)

You need cameras, you need one or more monitors, but why do you need a 
general purpose computer in the stream?  Security camera technology 
would let you have multiple cameras on one monitor, or (probably for no 
more money) you could do one monitor for the drum room, one for the 
main room.

I think I would also recommend a camera in the control room with 
monitors in the studio.  This would help maintain a human, interactive 
interface in the absence of the window.

You can also treat the glass a little differently if you decide to 
preserve it.  Go with multiple panes at alternating angles instead of a 
single pane.
