Interesting. Would you recommend some brand of security cameras that work well for this kind of projects. Where I live the more popular brands are Dahua and Hikvision. Maybe I have to look for a certain communication protocol, rather than for a special brand.

In my case the security camera is also a raspberry pi with the camera module (it could have night vision), connected with a webcam logitech c170 (really cheap) and the motion software to detect movement (https://github.com/Motion-Project).

If its a raspberry pi with a camer amodule, then why is there a need for the webcam? Sorry if I am misunderstanding.

To have 2 cameras. 1 the raspberry pi camera, the other the usb webcam.
