- From my small experience with close range closed cir cute cameras
(Production line Safety).
we used several creative PC-CAM (750) with lennse addition (to get
more light from each cam)
if you do use USB web cams be aware that you can't use more then one
web cam on usb 1 and usb 1.1. (i don't know about usb 2).
we used motion with apache to access the webcams.
also there is use of special program that process the images.
