A little bit of background:

We have employed a maidservent who stays with my elderly mom from morning till evening. And you must have guessed by now we suspect her to be pocketing things. That started me thinking in the direction of setting up a basic home surveillance system using an IP cam.

The infra: I already have two broadband connections and two wireless routers, a desktop lying idle and two laptops and countless (actually around three to four) mobile cameras running Symbian and Android.

Requirement: A basic camera setup which will capture a wide angle so as to cover as much area as possible, and spy on the goings on in the house, without affecting the privacy of the occupants.

I checked out Logitech, and they seem to have an indoor camera / software for $300. Are there any other options? Being able to access the camera feeds over the net would be really cool, and since we have two broadband connections, it shouldn't be too much trouble, really.
