In the same vein I'd suggest a pass on the DLink DCS-32xx & DCS-900. Both have been temperamental with low image quality & terrible low light sensitivity.

My sympathies. I'm in a similar situation.



What will I need, and how do I get the video display... is this just
transmitted across the network to software....or through the Internet
via a web page streaming video?

Something like this would work. I got one for friends of my brother. It's a Linksys Wireless-B Internet Video Camera ( WVC11B) that:

"Unlike standard 'web cams' that require an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own web server, so it can connect directly to a network, either over Wireless-B (802.11b) networking, or over 10/100 Ethernet cable."

"Once it's connected to your home network, you can 'see what it sees' from any PC in the house, while the video stream is secured from the outside world, hidden behind your Router."

You can search the model number around for pricing.
