Option II PC + Web camera + ADSL router. You can connect multiple camera to PC. Total cost make your guess. Authentication or accounting possible.
BTW forget video, but pictures OK.
Why forget video? I am curious. if the ISP line does provide for uploads at 512 kbps then we can hit 30 fps. ofcourse there will be more than 1 camera in each location.
Would a 15 fps be OK if one just needs to check on the kid? Anyone with first hand experience?
Are you planning to place the web cam at a general viewing distance? It may not give you any details except unidentifiable tiny tots playing about. You will have to give zoom features so the parents can identify their kids. That means a remote controlled camera that can zoom in/out and move in 4 directions. I thank God, there was no such snooping around during my school days. ;)
