Airport web cam

Jay,

You might want to take a look at www.smarthome.com, they sell a
variety of wired and wireless outdoor cams, and the prices don't look
too bad.

cheers,
mark

As many of you know, I've been looking for an affordable wireless web cam
that would allow me to show pictures of the Iowa City airport from the
balcony of our hotel. (The view from the Red Baron suite is perfect for
watching arrivals and departures on any of our three runways.)

Unfortunately, the prices seem to be astronomical for these devices.
There's one on Ebay right now ( http://makeashorterlink.com/?L27452466 )
that seems to have some potential, however -- and it's affordable.

However, I don't want to buy something that's not going to work, or (worse
yet) require a massive investment in time to keep working. Can anyone
comment on this particular product, or steer me towards a better product in
the same price range?

The goals a

-Weatherproof
- Wireless
- Good quality picture
- Ability to focus on infinity
- Range of at least 100 feet
- Easy to make work!

(I'm not asking too much, am I?

Thanks for your expertise, as always.
