There are a number of good Wi-Fi wireless security cameras on the market. Search with Google.

How far away in feet from the camera to the area you want to observe? Light levels? Glaring sunlight down to starless night? Security guard lights on site? How far do you want to shoot the wireless signal?

Most of the wireless cameras you find are consumer grade and limited in selection in terms of lens options which is the most compelling criteria in setting up a camera system.

Your better off going with a traditional video coax camera, also called an NTSC video signal format and connect it to a ethernet converter connected to wireless bridge.

Good wireless cameras are readily available.

Figure about double that $150 for any sort of decent camera; e.g., D-Link DCS-3220G or AXIS 207. The cameras for $150 are low quality. Be sure to get a good CCD imager, not a cheap CMOS imager.

Opps...sorry that was dealer cost for the camera I was thinking of. Figure on $250 for a decent camera.

D-Link DCS-3220G - Fixed focus 6 mm lens, no auto-iris. Worthless for any serious application.

AXIS 207 - Fixed focus 4 mm lens, no auto-iris. Worthless for any serious application.

And neither one is a true day/night infrared camera.

See reply to the OP for suggestions.
