You could also consider small domo IP networked cameras which provide an
embedded mini web-server and they're easy to setup and control (basically
you only need to provide the power and a dsl/cable Internet connection).
Some of the more advanced devices also allow storing the data remotely or
sending e-mails with attached images when motion is deteced or at
predefined/regular intervals.
