We have hundreds deployed and we only use ping to monitor them.

What are you wanting to monitor on them? It's been a long time since
I've used one but the ones I'm familiar with (similar to the current
Axis 210 network camera) had an IP, so you could use check_ping to ping
it and it had a web server so you could use check_http to make sure that
was answering. You could probably come up with more sophisticated
monitoring of the web interface with webinject but I'm not sure what
additional value would be gained.
