I got a Net EYE at Home. It is fast, small, and needs only to be connected
to a HUB through a Twisted-pair line. Configures itself upon power-on
using the bootp protocoll, and is almost able to generate a "jpg"
Image-stream you could mae a mpeg-stream from. It´s quite expensive
though.
I don´t have any URL by hand, but if you want it, Email me.
