Security Advantage

How do I set up home security cameras that I can view over the web?

I travel a lot and work away from home a great deal. I would like to set up a security system that I can monitor from the internet. I will need 4 cameras and one will have to have be able to focus on objects 150' away. The other three cameras will have to be able to focus from 0 to 50'. Any information on the set up, cost and availability of the equipment would be appreciated.

1. You need an IP camera. They don't even require a computer to be on. Panasonic makes the best with pan/zoom for about $1000. Dlink has some cheapo ones for $100-$200. Be sure and enable security or the camera will be viewable by anyone on the web.
