I've just finished setting up the camera below. Works well, has decent 640x480 resolution. You can either use their software to view the output, or surf to a webpage on the camera that has either activex component or a java viewer. The java viewer appears to be more stable. For some reason I couldn't assign as static IP to this camera in our DHCP environment. I can do this with other computing devices. Instead I had to set it to DHCP and then do a ip address scan to find it.

I'd recommend this camera to anyone, especially since it ended up only costing $100. There is a wireless version available too.
