Logitech 1600x1200 webcam $34 (refurb on sale now!)
4 GB Flash drive: $10.
"Motion" webcam motion capture software (with FTP server): Free!
XAMPP Webserver (LAMPP package- for better UI) Free!

This is how we do security in my lab... it tweets too!
Buy yourself something nice with the $154 you just saved.
Too complicated for you? There is probably some poor-ass college kid who would do it for you for $154

Oh, did I mention, that you can put many cameras on 1 server (plug computer) with a $3 USB hub? and also add wifi with a $10 USB dongle?

Even better IMO is a low-power WHS. You can leave it on doing a multitude of other things, it'll have virtually infinite storage for wifi cams, and you can remotely control it.

Wouldn't be cost effective in and of itself, but as a network storage, backup, streamer, home security system, etc it makes sense. =)]]>Aug 3rd 2010 4:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 11:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/
I have a low-power WHS thats always on, so the $115 wireless-N linksys cam makes more sense.

I wish logitech would have just made an updated wifi version of the Orbit.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 6:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 5:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 5:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 6:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/

If the memory card is encrypted(and if the motion detection auto call feature works well) it might be a decent system. However, if the camera's memory card isn't encrypted and if there is no safeguard in logitech's alert commander software to help, then it would be less desirable because if someone takes your logitech alert security camera, they take the video on it, too.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 7:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 8:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/
Sounds like the same thing they are selling here, minus a decent resolution camera, for about 6 times what i paid for that camera 10 years a go. wtf?]]>Aug 3rd 2010 8:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 5th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/
Currently I have several TRENDnet TV-IP312W's running over my wireless network. Their video stream is piped out over the internet and I have secure access to view from any web browser and a few mobile apps (all free).

These cameras have night mode with 6 IR LED's and it works quite well. For video recording, they are set up with motion detection zones and record to a NAS (FreeNAS).

Anyone who is remotely serious about home security isn't looking at Logitech to fill that need...

I may appear to be covered, but I see all :p]]>Aug 3rd 2010 9:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/
All of their video feeds get dumped to Blue Iris security monitoring software which runs on a WHS box.

It works swimmingly but the night mode on the Panasonic cameras leaves a lot to be desired.

If these Logitech cameras put out a standard video format I should be able to commandeer the recordings with Blue Iris.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/Aug 3rd 2010 10:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/logitech-announces-alert-series-of-high-def-security-cameras-we/
I see now that this camera is fixed in position.
