Wireless Webcam?

[asterroc]

I want to set up a webcam to remotely watch my bird. (Kappa's a camera whore.) I don't have a computer located near the cage so I want this to either wirelessly connect to my Mac, or wirelessly connect to my router. I want it to automatically upload one photo every five minutes (or some other interval) to some host or other (I'm looking for recommendations there too).

Is this possible? If so, how?

I'm guessing Bluetooth. Or a really, REALLY long USB cable.

I would be interested in knowing, too!

This would allow you to expose a live video feed to the Internet if you configured your router appropriately. The specs on Amazon say that it can be set up for automatic image capture too.

If you want to shop around, there's a "similar items" link on that page, but I think this one has a pretty good price point.

You'd probably much better quality for what you want if you could use a $100 digital camera (not a webcam) with a wireless USB setup, but you'd have to set up some fancy software solution.
