Do It Yourself Home Video Monitoring

Here's an interesting article on setting up a video surveillance system for your home. The $80 security cameras they use received rave/poor ratings, depending on who you talk to. Sounds like the built in web server (in each camera) was less than desired, but they also provide a "raw image" way to connect which seems to be what this article focuses on. The one thing I really like is that these are IP cameras, and don't need a computer connected to them. If they can be rigged with POE (power over ethernet) then you could really stretch these things out quite a way from your switch for some decent coverage. They need pretty good light though, from what I gather.
