If you want to make yourself a simple and cheap little pan/tilt
webcam (no zoom yet, but possible with a camcorder), then the
below link shows how to do it.

I bought a Powerpod, to use with my webcam and camcorder. It has been
superb in use, can't praise it high enough. Have a look at
www.trakercam.com

I don't think there is a standard as such for these things but my
powerpod works as advertised. I use it for general surviellance of the
farmyard while I'm away.
