Let say I have these 3 webcams in place and estimated distance from PC; front door=40ft, back door 70ft, and garage 100ft. What kind of cable do I use to connect the USB from the webcam to the USB port on the PC?

There are a number of USB extenders that will allow you to use a USB connection up to 150 feet, but the cost of these extenders exceeds $150. For a lower cost you can purchase IP cameras to replace the USB cameras you have. A full list of supported IP cameras in WebCam Monitor are available here: https://www.deskshare.com/faqproduct.aspx?ID=12#10
