A friend of mine, who is a doctor, wants to set up a video security /
survelliance system in his office.  He and his partners rotate working
a late-night emergency shift and video survelliance for insurance (and
security) purposes is a bonus.  He wants to be able to view the
cameras over a (secure) Internet connection using the web.  Video
needs to be saved to security tape or hard disk, like a rotating log
file I suppose.

Can anyone offer any suggestions or information on hardware (video,
computer) and software to use?  Any thoughts on the matter would also
be greatly appreciated.

I know solutions for my problem exist for NT, but we're looking at
using Linux to solve this situation for the obvious reasons we all use
Linux!!

Thanks.

-Steve G.

There is an application for Video 4 Linux called :
camserv

which seems to be similar to what you want - I would suggest 
using an intranet for real security.

Have a look at www.inodes.org (Nemesis) a complete video security program
for Linux developed by a local OSS developer who's family own a hotel.

Cheers, Grahame
