Digicam and Linux question

[bob findlay]

I have a need to automate the taking, grabbing and transmitting of single low 
res digital photos  ... remote monitoring application.

Any suggestions on inexpensive webcams which are Linux compatible?  Software?

Is it better to use remotely controllable digital camera?  If so which would 
come with good Linux support?

Thanks.
