Alan, I gave up on the inexpensive Wi-Fi cams. However, the best I've found
is the Panasonic BL-C30A. It pans almost 180 degrees left and right and
nearly that up and down by rotating a little ball in the case, not by
rotating the case. It's VGA but better than others and never needs
rebooting (as D-Links do a lot). It has all the options for e-mail/FTP upon
various triggers or just watch it. It has "motion" or "clarity" mode.
Clarity is a very good picture and motion sends the changes for low
bandwidth and pretty good clarity...under $300.
I installed iQeye cameras. They're 3 megapixels (available from 2 to 5) and
produce spectacular pictures. They have day and night modes. Day mode is
as good as a fine digital camera. Night mode switches to B&W and sees much
better than you would for the same scene...also in spectacular, high
megapixel resolution. These require direct Ethernet connection. They are
rugged and you can see the nose hairs of people 30 feet away...even at
night. If you want, I'll send you an image from one of mine. You can see
them at:

and I think I paid a bit over a grand each.
Costco has some terrific packages including a LOT of cameras and
multi-hundred gig DVR. Their better quality packages include a Web browser
interface to watch over the Internet...including all the security options
you'd need:

So, that's my experience.

Axis I see around a lot, but they are a bit expensive
