What would be the most practical camera and software combination if I want to setup web cams in several industrial warehouses and view them on a secure site or via the intranet?

The software that comes with webcams is mostly useless for any major application. Pick your webcam based on the hardware specs (Resolution, frames/sec, etc) and price. I have an Intel USB camera at home that works very well. It was a cheap camera, but I didn't need any of the fancy features.

As far as software, I have used the freeware version of TrueTech's Webcam software and it seems to work well. It will give either snapshots or true streaming video (speed depends on either the cameraor the network connection, whichever is slower). You can check it out at:
