You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Okay, so my answer is weird, but it's cheap, cause that's how I roll.
So... first, choosing the webcam, and yes, I'm suggesting a webcam and you'll see why later. Pick anyone you want, and try a homebrew solution for weather proofing it.

Extra long USB cables and powered are available at www.monoprice.com
I'd probably use one of these to network it in...

Then the most important part, a free program called ORB, www.orb.com will allow you to access the webcam (and any other shared content) via the web interface, iPhone appication, or windows media player stream compatible with all Windows mobile phones.
I use this solution, minus the big network an outdoor attempts to keep an eye on my condo from work. You could even stream the feed to just about any mobile device!
