I love Logitech (after all, they're Swiss and I live just across the 
lake from them)... and they run on the OS my company makes : OpenSolaris. :)

When Keith wrote "surveillance camera", I considered that what he wanted 
was one that stayed on ALL THE TIME... including with 300 watts of 
computer server turned off. Hence a standalone IP camera from somebody 
else than Logitech. :)

If you get a Logitech, then you need to keep some kind of machine / 
server running, AND you need specific software...

Panasonic has all that on board.
