Daniel,

I set it up recently and was uber-impressed.

Camera model depends on budget really..  The nc1600 is a good camera 
(gadgetspot) - and stick an infra-red lens on it for proper security mode.

I've also set it up with a few other webcams, most recently a logitech 
usb camera.

One of them (other Logitech is Mouse and Keyboard - so not sure which is 
webcam.

Just make sure the httpd user can see the camera device (group 
ownership) and then there'll be few issues.  It's a great bit of software.

Get back to me if you do have any problems.

Regards,

Andy
