Anybody using Wireless IP cameras.
Or what cameras?

I have the Linksys wireless G but have yet to put it to any serious use, just a gadget!

Annoyingly they have not updated it to work on WPA which is the current set up for my wireless security so I am actually going to ge back to WEP so I can use the vast array of kit that does not support WPA that I have.

How is the setup for it? Is it as simple as just pointing your browser to it?
I am thinking like a screen with 4 camera windows and if you touch one it goes full screen.

hmm, you do point your browser at it, then it goes to an overview, for setup, video etc, I will reconnect it and get some info and screen shots to see if you can go direct to video etc

If you get the time I would appreciate it.

Here is a great web site on IP based cameras.

Motion detection from the camera at the doorway could turn on outdoor lights.

I have not forgotten getting this Linksys sorted out. Been away in Europe a lot lately, its on the list!

No problem mintcake.

I am in Eastern Europe so wave when you are in the neighborhood!

Well, the new ehome - powerhome screen designer is supporting a mini browser just for Wireless IP cameras. Now I do not have one but from what I understand its just a IP address? But I will add both. A IP address you can go to and VBScript for anything else. I think this should cover all bases.
