USB (webcam) converter from LAN???

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.video (More info?)

Hi,

Does it exist a hardware converter box with a USB connector and a LAN socket
which I can connect to my LAN and connect a USB webcam to this box. I need
to place a webcam more than the max 5 meters from my computer.....

Before you rush to the keyboards: This is NOT a USB network adaptor, if
fact it is the contrary - a network to USB adaptor...

I see that Linksys come with "Network Storage Link for USB 2.0" which is
exactly such a converter that I look for, but it is probably specialized for
storage devices...

Thanks for any hints on available such 'boxes'.
