You are going to have to spend time analyzing (or buying the proper)
configuration before beginning into this task.

Do you plan to use a low-res usb webcam, a IP camera, or a high def
style video camera?

Do you want to capture frames or a video stream?

Do you need the stream to just be live, if so use an existing service
like justin.tv and embed the cam in the page.

Indeed, and no matter what the answer to all these questions are, they
are out of the scope of Rails. At best, Rails will just handle the
incoming image or video stream. But you are so right about this
subject being quite advanced with no clearcut solution that just
involves installing a plugin.

I want to use a basic web cam, to monitor certain sites, kind of
surveillance camera system.

Do you want to capture frames or a video stream?

I want to capture a video stream in moderate quality.

Do you need the stream to just be live, if so use an existing service

like justin.tv and embed the cam in the page.

I cannot use any public systems due to the security issues.
