update....
well, we spent a while looking for cameras, got busy, purchased a camera, it never arrived, got a refund, purchased a new camera and finally we have it in our hands. The airport manager just got a static IP address and I have finished installing LAMP under Ubuntu Linux on an old server computer I wasn't using anymore. I am working on getting the IP camera set up in Ubuntu, but it proving to be more difficult than I though. The camera came with no documentation and there is little/none online. I expect it will still be a month or two before we get the whole shebang up and running. The airport manager is still super excited about it too. We made sure we got a high end HD all weather camera. It even has night vision!
