Do you have control over the hardware?  If so, there are webcams that
have Ethernet ports and can be spoken to directly via TCP/IP.  That'd
probably be the easiest approach.

For that, you could put a computer near the cameras, connected via a
serial adapter to something like a Pololu serial servo controller:
<http://www.pololu.com/products/pololu/0207/>.  Controlling this from
RB is pretty easy, as I did in my "Giant House Eyes" project:

Or, you could maybe use something like a ETH32 to control servos
directly over TCP/IP: <http://www.winfordeng.com/products/eth32.php>
