To be cost effective u would require one cam per room - ideally two - connected to a pixelview card in a piii box (depending on number of connections) wired to ADSL with permanent ip.

With a p4 an plenty of ram 32 cameras in snap mode. > Subscribers can log in where they can watch their child's webcam. > But they should pay for the use on a bandwidth usage basis.
