Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera
The Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera sends live video with sound through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world! This compact, self-contained unit lets you keep track of your home, your kids, your workplace - whatever's important to you. 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-G (802.11g) networking, or over 10/100 Ethernet cable. The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-frame rate, up to 640x480 audio/video stream.The Internet Video Camera's unique form-factor and wireless connectivity allows you to mount it on a wall nearly anywhere, or slip it into its included stand for desktop use. Once it's connected to your home network, you can "see what it sees" from any PC in the house, while the audio/video stream is secured from the outside world, hidden behind your Router. If you want the video to be visible from outside your home network, you can open an appropriate port on the Router, and then create password protected accounts to manage access to the camera, or leave it wide open for the world to see. The SoloLink domain service (trial sign-up included) lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember "name", even if your home Internet connection uses a dynamic IP address.You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. The included Viewer & Recorder utility lets you record the audio/video stream to your local hard drive, "live" or on a predetermined schedule.Let the Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera help you keep tabs on your world.

Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera Reviews
I am now at MONTH TWO futzing with it - yes I tried support, yes I tried community forums, and still won't allow me to use the worthless subscription to Sololink. RUN RUN FAST away from buying this product. I purchased this thinking I could hook it up in less than an hour like most devices I have (and I have many) but nothing has gone right.
These deliver re much higher quality image than the Linksys Compact Internet Camera. I own two of these and they are easy to set up if you have some network knowledge and they work great; both video and audio.
This camera has good quality of video but to my surprise it also has great quality of sound, which was my priority since I wanted to hear the baby crying and what the nanny was doing or telling him. I have a 5-months-old baby and I needed a webcam to keep an eye on him and his nanny while I was out working at the office. I really recommend it, it was also easy to install.
Without an IP address window on the device, I would have to search the network and hope the software is able to pick up the device. I have purchased and used several of these Internet cams both at home and at work. I like them because they have a window that shows the IP address they have picked up. They work very well once set up, but they may require highly technical skills and knowledge to set up depending on your network environment. The software works well in very small networks, but on enterprise networks it can get confused and sometimes can not find the camera. This is a problem I encountered with the newer version.
Bought one recently. Video quality is not good. Easy to set up. Customer support is easy to reach online, but not very helpful if you get a not-easy problem. Wired camera at that price has much much better video. I guess it is the same as those over $200 because of the small lens. For less than $100, don't expect too much.
