Heh.. Stay away from multiple USB webcams:

Those sync alarms is where the bus isn't keeping up with the software :(
FWIW
I do have 3 security cameras doing streaming and motion detection on a PII-300
with 128MB on it. But that's Linux, and that's all it does - it's also not
USB cameras, I have a 4 port BTTV capture card. I discard two frames switching
between inputs (it was a cheap card:( ), otherwise I get about 6 fps per camera.
So about 24fps total at 320x200.
It's not outside accessible, but here's a screenshot:

Those 3 are all streaming 'simultaneously' (like switching channels REALLY fast).
