HELP! Wireless Web-Enabled Camera Help

I am trying to buy a wireless web-enabled camera to install in and around my house, so that I can check inside and around my home from the Internet and my wife's mobile phone. Would this camera work for doing that?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ImageG...%20%28MPEG4%29

If not, would you recommend some cameras under $200 that would enable at least two or three cameras to be connected (does not have to come with them, just the option of expanding them)?

Need them by Wednesday!

What about this camera? I have a linksys wireless router, although, I don't think it's an "N" router, but G (I think) WRT345G maybe?

You would need to test it....If it has a web interface it may work.

The camera or the phone?

I guess it does not matter all THAT much to see streaming video from my wife's phone, but it would be nice. Would, however, like to see streaming video via another computer when I'm on travel to monitor the house, etc. Would that be possible with the cameras that I posted above? If so, which camera would you choose?

Would this camera be all that I would need to connect to the Internet?

I'm assuming you already have a wireless router -- so, yes it seems so hardware-wise. You might need some software and to open some ports on the router depending on how tight you have it locked down.

I have two (2) open ports on my wireless router to connect an ethernet connection to. Wirelessly, I know that I can connect at least two, but I would open need one camera.

If you want a basic IP camera, just find a reasonably priced one that is configurable. Are you going to be recording to a HD? (eg. motion is detected - record). Still frames every few seconds? Just be able to connect and see what's going on?

I want to be able to see what's going on on the web, but have the option to record if I want.
