[Red5] Linux/Webcam newbie question

Hi,

I have a box (Debian), attached to it are some 3 webcams. The webcams 
are working ok. I was wondering if there is a way to directly create 
streams from that webcams (red 5) that can be viewed with a flash 
client. (i currently use vlc to stream asf, but i think flash would be 
more fun than "open url"). I do not really know what to look for/where 
to start from. So basically i am looking for something like a tutorial 
that can help me to make a system like : V4L device -> Red5 -> SWF in 
some browser. Of course everything FP7 compatible, as there is no FP8 or 
higher for my home linux workstation.

 Thanx in advance.

Note : Webcams are working, Red 5 is working (at least the demos), 
motion is working. And yes, it is a surveillance system for my house.
