You really contributed to the thread with that comment

Well since I guess I needed to "do more research" and actually contribute to this thread before being run off like a cheata was chasing me;
Here is what you need for wireless.

The D-link DCS-2100+
It's everything compatible.

If you have a webbrowser it's compatible.
It's a bit pricey but it runs off pure Ethernet, you just need a NAT box (residential router will work), and a cat 5 to the camera OR a wireless NAT and then just the camera.

No computers needed at all.

Now if you want to record the video then I think it's PC only, but it's been working great for me for a long time (2 years)

I also have the PC software running on my server so that if it detects motion during certain hours (while I'm at work) then it instantly starts recording the video and audio and FTP-ing anywhere you want..

Why would you need this?
I have a lot of equipment to protect so if someone breaks in my camera records the entire event until it's unplugged on my other server in Florida. so the video of the robbery is intact even if they steal everything in the house, and burn it to the ground.

Thanks Steve, that is very helpful

I think I took what you said the wrong way, so excuse my rudeness
