Look, there are three qualities that just about any technology has: Good; Fast; Cheap. You get to pick two and it will be the opposite of the third (i.e. if you want it to be good and fast, it won't be cheap). On that note, you aren't going to find anything in the 'under $100' category that is going to be good and 'fast.' If you can spend a little more money, this is what I have set up and they work really well is the Panasonic NetCam:
http://www.panasonic.com/consumer_electronics/gate/cameras.asp. I have only used the all-weather flavor and so far am pretty impressed with a $600 out-door camera with as many features as this one has. The indoor camera is much cheaper. You might even be able to find a low-light variant. If you have some more money, Sony makes a camera that has just about every option and is really nice but it costs over twice as much as the Panasonic.
Good luck and congrats!
