You might want to consider instead buying an internet webcam such as the 
  Dlink DCS-900 or DCS-G900. Works over a network cable, can be 
individually addressed, and you can even do so remotely, if you have 
DYNDNS or the equivalent or a static IP address.
The cost is a little higher than the cheap cameras, but the quality is 
very good and the advantages are worth it.
