[MLB-WIRELESS] IP Cameras

[Simon Hall]

Thanks for the opinions.

I've been considering a wireless one as running all the ethernet would be a 
pain.  The real intention for the camera is to get the image on my blog 
working again.  When I was in the UK I had a mini-itx box with a webcam on 
it (mini-itx box has since turned its toes up).

I have seen the following on Ebay

and

When I started looking I suppose I did get a bit carried away with the the 
thought of adding Pan and tilt etc, but really all I want to do is have the 
image refresh every 20-30 seconds or so.

so any other suggestions or ways that others are doing stuff like that might 
make me rethink.

Cheers

I've never understood the point of wireless cameras unless you are
moving them around frequently.

They have to be mains powered anyway so just run a lan cable at the same
time as who wants something that is broadcasting constantly to be
dirtying up the airwaves...or do they only broadcast large volumes of
data when someone is viewing the image?


Cheers,

Dean
