People have used a wide variety of webcams, but I find UVC ones work easily with mjpg-streamer.  Highest resolution that I know of:  Logitech Webcam Pro 9000.  Also working Logitech Quickcam Deluxe for Notebooks, this Rosewill camera from newegg:

This ebay webcam (in raw mode-doesn't do mjpeg conversion onboard) http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-5M-WEBCAM-Camer … 2ea944c1a0

The latter also works with the motion-detection program, "motion".  The others probably do too, but I haven't tested them.

Get the Orbit AF and combine it with mjpg_streamer for pan/tilt control, can't get much better then that.
