Question : Problem: basic wireless ip camera setup

trying to setup a basic network of inexpensive cameras to monitor three separate areas in a facility on an as-needed basis. cameras will have to be wifi-enabled because I can't run CAT5 to the areas I want to monitor.

I've seen the linksys at http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/products/WVC54GCA
and the x10 at http://www.x10.com/cameras/vk77a_s_k_ps59.html
also the dlink at http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=2&pid=510
I'm not sure if the tilt/zoom of the x10 justifies the 5x jump in price.. and how come the dlink is 5 times the price of the linksys?

As I said I only want an easy way to monitor three areas: log in to a webpage, enter my password, view the video. (no footage storage needed)

Feel free to recommend any other cameras you believe would be a good fit.

Thank you

> and how come the dlink is 5 times the price of the linksys?

Because the D-Link has a larger CCD, is color and works in 100 times less light (0.5lux compared to the 5.1lux for the Linksys).

http://www.dlink.com/products/resource.asp?pid=365 is more comparable model to the Linksys, except that one still works in lower light than the Linksys.

I would probably go with http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=546 because that one has PTZ and can also be checked from 3G enabled cell phones.
