Affordable, Secure, Wireless, Self-contained Internet Video Camera - Linksys WVC54GS

Yesterday, I made an impulsive purchase. I mistakenly went to Best Buy where I was only kidding myself to say to all the hired help, "I'm just browsing".

In my house, I can't hear the doorbell from certain parts of the house where I happen to be on the computer. Linksys has come out with an affordable, secure, wireless self-contained Internet video camera. What's cool is it doesn't have to be hooked up to a computer which opens up a realm of possibilities.

What Linksys doesn't tell you on the outside of the box is that you must be a datacomm expert to set one up. This is why mental health professionals have job security. People like me go insane with our technology addictions and our need to somehow figure out the impossible which at best is next to impossible and mostly based on luck. My choices are 1) pack it up and take it back, 2) risk the insanity approach of making it work because I think I can, or 3) pay someone to do something that I should be able to do myself.
