Hello,
I wanted something easy to install so that I could monitor my home when I'm out of town. One camera that I could connect to my desktop with a dsl connection and check on my empty home with my lap top. My desktop is XP O/S my laptop is Vista O/S. I don't need motion detection or emails. So X10 sent me so much stuff that I was baffled and the Vanguard Software. Hours and hours later I returned it to get my $ back.  X10 was very helpful but most of the directions were hard for me to understand. Please tell me what you would recommend to a person that basically needs play and plug. Have you ever heard of TinCam Web Cam software? Thanks

If you just want to peek-in and check out the home using the Internet... check out IP Cams. Mine operates wired.. or wirelessly without needing a computer. They have firmware IP servers built-in.

If you have a spare webcam and Computer try Yawcam. It gives you the ability to remote connect. I have a demo of it on my website www.homeautomationchat.zoomshare.com but if you want to do the easyest do a Linksys PTZ internet camera.
