Default dial-up cam

If you are not streaming video you can get away with a dial-up line. Snake Eyes is still using a dial-up connection since broadband/dsl is not available to many islands.

You need a webcam that does not need a computer to operate, an internet connection, (broadband, dsl, dial-up isp), and a website to which your camera can upload your pictures.

If you use the incamera web capabilities, then you need an always on connection and will have lots of people using up your bandwidth since the images or video will be from your location.

If you have always on and a computer you can get away with a simpler, cheaper camera. You might not be satisfied with the image, however. This is a good cheap setup for monitoring a home.

Have Fun
