Wireless IP security cameras.

I have a dropcam and a d-link dcs932l. The dropcam is much better. I think it's 720P, it has decent night vision, two-way audio. It also has an optional ($99, I think) "DVR" plan - recordings are stored on a clouod-based server somewhere for about a week. The recordings are tagged with motion events, so you can quickly scroll through a timeline to see what happened when (handy for when packages are delivered and left on the front porch, etc). On the downside, the camera is around $149.
The d-link camera is cheap, without a whole lot of advanced features, but it works. I think it can use either wifi or ethernet. I saw it online for $65.99; there are a bunch similar to it on the market, all under $100.

bought this system about an year ago. its being working fine. I can access through my phone and through my PC at work.
It's a little pain to run the wires but I go almost my whole house covered inside out.

they have wireless cameras too but they only go up to 4 cameras. I needed 7. so I opted for the wired one.
Best thing was the support, is always free, and when I bought I couldn't setup the network for nothing, they did a remote access on my computer and set up the whole thing for me.
Sweet deal!
I bought a similar system off newegg about 2 years ago. I think i paid $120 for 8-channel (but came with only 4 IR cameras and wires) and no hard drive. I put in a 640gb HD I had laying around and it records for over a month. Quality is good enough to make out faces from about 20 feet away. It was a no-name brand. I can access the cams from my ipad using wifi. I'd recommend a dvr setup like I have if you can run the wires. Add a battery back up power strip and you're protected when your electric shuts off. If you go the wifi ip route let me know how you like it.
