james those cameras are very expensive, I want something to watch over my house, he had thought of the dlink o trendnet , linksys.

I need some 2 cameras, and that they can record video, but I don't have a lot of money like about US $300.00

You can search the forum to check if a cam is supported or check the supported hardware section in the wiki.

Cheap parts get very expensive when you can not get them to work as intended. If you can get a demo unit, see if you can get an mjpg stream from the command line... If so, it will work. If it requires activex, it will not.

Something like this cheap one is one of those that will likely fail?

Quoted from the page:

"Operating System: Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Compatible Browsers: MS Internet Explorer, Nokia Browser (PDA/Phone browser),
Viewing Protocols: ActiveX"

This cam is running the linux 2.4 kernel, is there hope?
