I've found a few, some that even run on Linux but the administration

Any suggestions?

I would trust logitech..however i use the webcam that comes with my
laptop (chicony electronics? its the one that lsusb told me..lspci didnt
say anything about my webcam)

For survalence, i use motion, which will take set up a basic localhost
webserver which will display the images that are being captured from
your webcam. When you first start motion, it will take a picture, then
continue taking pictures, comparing it to the one it took first. If
there is a difference, it will update the picture if you get what i
mean.

Basically, if someone tries to break in, the program will see that,
update the webpage that it is hosting so that you can show the cops when
they come just what the criminal looked like basically.

Motion stores the pictures in /tmp/motion

quite a few security cams working on linux (and zoneminder)
