[MLB-WIRELESS] IP Cameras

[Peter Buncle]

One option i've been experimenting with 
is to use an R100 / wl500g ap for the usb / wireless / processing

And then use a logitech quickcam zoom usb webcam.

I have got this working.

This solution should only cost about $150 and will give 
you lots of flexability

Cheers

Peter

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

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
