Ultimate Wireless Webcam?

Posted by Cliff on from the remotely-watching dept.

Chris asks: "I am in need of a webcam for home security. I want it to be able to connect to my home wireless network (802.11g) and have access to its images from a secure website. I also want to be able to access images from it on my cellphone. Is there a webcam that does this?"

    The Veo Observer is worth checking out. Looks like a one-eyed snakehead, but it does have its own built-in web server, is pretty easy to use, and they offer a wireless one. It has tilt, pan, zoom too.

    Not only this, unlike X10, they have never spammed me or put annoying popups on web pages.

    From what I have read(which includes the book hardware hacking for geeks) the quality on the X10 really blows. You can get better quality cameras for about the same amount of money, avoid the X10 if at all possible.
