You can't do physical switching between USB cams. The IONetworks
Watchport (formally 3COM Homeconnect) USB cam is capable of
having up to 10 of them connected to one computer. USB cams are
usually not used for security as they are made to be with in 15'
of the computer (you can use $$$ extensions). I like the Winnov
AV PCI capture cards available on Ebay.

Below is a fairly recent listing of webcam softwares which you
can look at to see what comes close to what you want and what you
are willing to pay. Any motion detection based on changes in the
video pix will use a lot of your cpu. You may want to look at
some of the security cam setups at the bottom links.
