Joe, Thank you for the links. I must have a closer look at it as there are no mention of Mac OS X drivers in the different things I have seen. Of course I could go with a PC, but...
The solution with TCP/IP webcams seems interesting as it looks quite easy to set. Using a RB app that would monitor each webcam in a loop or at demand using a simple htmlwiever. I have to have a closer look at the Pololu and ETH32 as I am a total novice in Electronic.
