I've been thinking about getting some kind of camera I can hang off of my home router, and being able to see what's going on in the house remotely, via a URL. Nothing more interesting than watching what the dogs are up to during the day. :-)

Have any of you done that before?

Any hardware or forums you would recommend for more info?

Thanks!
Chris

Ha! We have a pet tortoise, too. Would be great to keep an eye on her.
