I seem to remember that a lot of the characters in similar literature (Bunter, Biggles etc) from my childhood seemed to do a lot of ejaculating. This caused great hilarity amongst my schoolfriends and me.

There doesn't seem to be an option to read anything from the book - or maybe I'm missing something?
I read 'em all as a kid - and all of the Jennings books too.
I was actually thinking about getting some for my son to see if he enjoys them - of course without the characters doing magic or playing video games, it's unlikely, but worth a shot!

I want to connect 300 webcams into a single cohesive network.
How do I ask the right questions in order to know what other questions I need to ask in order to know what I will actually need to do ?
My first attempt at searching for this (Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo) produced the sadly predictable results: everybody and their brother has this ready to go for a zillion bucks.
That obviously isn't going to work, so, what questions do I need to ask next ?
By the way, if there's a discussion group or message board here on CodeProject where this post better belongs, point me to it.

Is this for a new adult site startup?  Must be expecting a lot of business.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

I have no idea - but I guess it depends what you want to do with them and how widely located they will be.
I'd go down the Raspberry Pi (or similar) route - so you can network the PIs and capture the video - or stream it, or whatever.
Bandwidth and storage would be your only problems then.

Okay, the facility in question has 8 buildings, and I think those 8 buildings have 32 hallways, when you add them all up.
Along with the hallways, there are stairwells.
Along with the general hallways and stairwells, we want to watch about 150 to 200 doors; but we want to watch them in a limited fashion; i.e., when the door is closed, we want to stay uninformed.
Outside the buildings, we have, I'm guessing, 200 to 400 parking spaces.
About half of them are covered parking.
From looking at pictures from outer space, I guesstimate between 2 and 5 acres of sidewalks and lawns between the buildings. That's a total guess with no science behind it at all.
The first goal is to be able to document the cars that come onto the facility, and where the people go; e.g., to have a video record that the person in car X went into building Y and entered door Z.
There are other goals as well; e.g., the place had physical property damage recently, and it was clearly malicious. Nobody had a clue until the next morning. The perpetrator is walking around free and clear today; completely unidentified.

At this stage, that question remains.
At the moment, I see no need for them to have a static IP address.

Why don't you just email one of the companies e.g. y3k.com
Depending on what cameras you want, e.g. D1, 720-HD or 1080-FullHD, you could use a number of IP CCTV NVRs and split into clusters of 25 cameras. This would give you higher resilience to single point failure.
Have a look at the IP offerings on the site I listed. I am sure if you went back for an official quote from them for a large system there would be a huge discount.
Suppose depends on your budget, and how effective you want the system to be.
