I have some pet birds in their own room, next door to my office.
I'd like to put up an AC powered camera in there, that would
wirelessly transmit to a receiver that would go into my computer via
USB port.
I'd like to be able to watch, and maybe record videos of their
singing and antics, without interrupting them, by doing this.
I understand X10 stuff is cheap junk, but what is there that won't
cost a lot, yet would still be reliable, that would enable me to do
this?
Take a look at some of D-Link's wireless network cameras:

It may require you add either a wireless adapter to your PC, or a
wireless router to your internet connection (if you don't already
have one)... the latter is probably easier, and cheaper.
I'm more interested in one with a simple RF link to a receiver with USB
to my computer.
