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. :)
