You'll need a decent quality camera (a 1080p IP cam goes for around $600), an Internet connection of some sort, and a server to post images to you (you don't want the entire world connecting directly to the camera).

As far as the technology goes its all very simple stuff relatively speaking.

I wrote a webpage on setting up a webcam. It might help.
