I missed the start of this one, so I might be completely off-target here, but are you aware of d-link's wireless little video camera that serves its image to a web-page that it generates? I think even one version has IR.
no need for a mac at all . . . or your mac could grab from the web-page?

Hi Dan, Thanks for that. I should have mentioned that I will be attempting to use either or both CoolCam and DigitalRadar apps. The camera(s) will only be activated (I'm hoping) when a certain set of conditions is met (probably involving night-time darkness).
The powerbook will be unattended for long periods of time (probably weeks). I am searching for a 3400-compatible USB PCMCIA card that will provide enough power to connect a Kensington USB cam as a second camera (if that's possible - to use both the Connectix and the Kensington).
Power failures are common in the area, so the Li ion battery will have to take over and keep things humming until the power comes back on. This means I cannot use a desktop (which might have made things easier).
So far, I have avoided the option of getting a proper surveillance apparatus. Is there any other Mac-ready option (HW or SW or both) that might be useful?

AFAIK it's not possible to use more than one Quicktime camera with any Macintosh, at least not under a classic Mac OS as QT can't deal with more than one video source at once.
