You've never actually tried a RPi with a camera, have you? As Ken said, the RaspberryPi is a very bad choice for such a job. The ethernet port internally is processed by the USB connection. Throughput is very limited, and even the lowest resolution camera is likely to overload it to the point where it crashes or, at a minimum, loses data. Plus it runs a special version of Debian (Raspbian), which is incompatible with Debian - and many of the Debian packages are not available. Before you recommend something, you should try it. I have a client who looked seriously at the RPi before discarding it for another board (I can't say which, but it wasn't a whole lot more expensive than the RPi - and it works).
