How about an old analogue camcorder plugged into a basic tvcard?
Redhat/Fedora has great support for the WinTV style cards.
This won't give the best results but will be really cheap and still a lot
better than most surveillance system.
Regardless of the device used, I'd encode in divx4, with vorbis for the audio
- will give very good compression for minimal loss of quality. However, It'll
need a fast-ish machine to do it on the fly, test first and if it drops
frames try mpeg2 instead.
