Home Security with Linksys

A lot of homeowners are getting into the idea of setting up video cameras in their home and monitoring them via the Internet while they're away.  An article in the Charlotte Observer, Home Security the Wireless Way, takes a look at the Linksys options as well as a couple of other camera systems designed for homeowners who want to check in remotely.  To achieve this, the writer says, "The simplest offerings are stand-alone video cameras with built-in Web servers. I experimented with three such models, the $230 Linksys WVC54G Wireless-G Internet video camera and two more advanced $1,000 cameras, the Panasonic BB-HCM371A network camera and the D-Link DCS-6620G Wireless Internet camera." The article goes on to describe subscription costs and initial set-up costs.  It's worth a read if you're looking for remote home video access.
