I would go wired if you can. I went wireless and had trouble with them because of metal studs in the walls. The other trouble is how to get electric to the wireless. The came with a battery adapter for a 9 volt but that lasted about 8 hrs. Maybe a wild game camera but you would not be able to view it on over the internet

If you have an old PC or laptop and a cheap camera, you can use this:
Expression Encoder 4 Overview | Microsoft® Expression®
to stream your video to the web. You can select the frame rate so as not to overload the network.
You'll probably have to configure your router to allow a static IP address to be on the 'outside' of you router so it can be seen by the web, usually referred to as 'port forwarding'.

I have one of these:
Panasonic BL-C131A Network camera - pan / tilt
Works great... easy to set up.... it has a built-in webserver and can stream video out; you'll have to open a port on your router to access it. Or, you can set up an account on some free (I think) service Panasonic has to that allows you to view a still every minute or so.
