Pan, tilt, zoom, wireless G and a built in web server, so it will work without a computer hooked up to it.

On sale today for $120, which is half the regular price.

This is a very good price...I just bought one

Interesting. Looks very similar to the Panasonic C-30 that I'm using that I purchased at London Drugs.

The Panasonic comes with it's own web URL and hosting services. I don't know if these others do that and I didn't have the skills necessary to host it myself.

I can't get any kind of detailed tech specs on the Dell cameras. I'm primarily interested in resolution, but they don't specify details on that. The Panasonic is 640x480 and I wish it were higher. Sensor size is listed as the same as the Dell units. (1/4" CMOS) Optical zoom would be awesome, but cameras with that feature get REALLY expensive ($1000)

detailed specs here: http://trendnet.com/langen/products/proddetail.asp?status=view&prod=100_TV-IP400&cat=29 -- to save the click just for that, it is 640x480.

kinda off topic but you can google all these cameras. you can just sit there and watch everyone else's cameras, and some of them control them.
