Gadget Tracker: The 802.11g Network TrackerCam
We seem to recall Craig from GearBits wondering how long it would take for one of these gadgettracker things to surface, but there's a new wireless network video camera from Eageltron that uses 802.11g rather than its slower cousin 802.11b (the big deal about network cameras is that they can connect directly to your home network — no PC needed — and you can access their video stream from anywhere). You have to use the TrackerCam in conjunction with their Compex NetPassage26G-USB adapter if you actually want it to go wireless — something which makes it much lamer than the standalone WiFi cameras from Linksys and D-Link — but if you want to take advantage of the higher quality video signal that the extra bandwidth of 802.11g allows, this is pretty much your only option for now. Oh, and unlike a lot of other gadget tracker-type network cameras, you can also remotely control the camera's pan and tilt.
