Home monitoring, best network camera?

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

DCS-3220 Dlink is mighty tempting to me right now for its price for an in
home cam. Two way sound 1lux ccd mpeg network cam.
Sounds like you don't really need a website, make a page on your hard drive
or a thumb drive and there ya go. I use pair networks for serious serving
and think its around $75 year for a basic ftp upload account - redundant fat
pipes galore there.
