What is the best way to install video conferencing for a conference room?
I have a old Victorian house (8000 sq. ft.) multiple office conversion that I would like to add video conferencing abilities the conference rooms, there will be 2 conferencing rooms, one on the third floor and one on the first floor. The one room is roughly 20 by 35 and the other is 16 by 25. Is a projector better than a LCD Displays, Is there a system that reasonable priced and offers enough features. Thank you.

I like LCD better. You need to decide if you're going to put blackout drapes in the room as sun coming in the window will wash out your display. If you don't want to pay for blackout drapes - then make sure whatever you choose it will be bright enough to see well with what light does come into the room. Second and perhaps more important is the sound system. Be sure to choose quality microphones that pick up sound well and transmit as much frequency as possible of peoples' speech. You want to avoid losing the emotion/intonation as that is very important information. And get good speakers.

What is the best & most cost efficient video-conferencing software for a small business?
Our company is very small, and would like to look into video conferencing. What are some good options to look at? We would be using it primarily for a one to many situation, one host (with a camera) and many participants (with cameras). We received a demo of adobe connect pro, and liked it very much, but it was a bit out of our price range.

We are also a small company and we do online presentations for our prospective clients. We use GoToMeeting and it is EXTREMELY cost effective. The drawback in your case will be that you cannot do video conferencing within the application. What you'll have to do is use a third-party camera viewer open at the same time. GoToMeeting is very easy to use and they offer a 30-day trial, so I would give it a try. Good luck!

What is the best Video conferencing system without spending a small fortune?
Polycom and Tandberg are both so pricey. I am looking for a camera that is a step above a web cam but not a fully integrated Video Web Conferencing System. Something that will work with my Adobe Connect or Breeze? Please help this research is getting out of hand.

Other than setting up an Camcorder via a video connection on your computer the best your going to get is may be a high end web cam. It will run on Connect because all you have to do is change the video source. The link below gives you some information about using a camcorder.

Skype has a client for linux, windows and mac. not to say mobile phones, that is your best bet.
It compresses the images and video so the bandwidth is minimum.
