Hi Blue -
Go look around at www.supercircuits.com. That will give you a flavor of what is available.
I've installed about 20-30 cameras at the university for dorm security that are tied back to digital video recorders which store everything on a hard drive enclosed in a unit that looks about like a VCR. They tie to the DVR by coax, but the DVR itself is network accessible for access from anywhere. Not cheap, but great access since it records a full week at a time for about 8-12 cameras simultaneously.
D-Link makes a camera that can be either wired into the network or talk via wireless. It works fine - gives a decent black/white picture, but don't count on the "record to PC" feature to work worth a hoot. The software is very buggy. Really only good for watching the actual picture real-time (while it takes place).
I also installed a buttonhole camera about the size of a dime in an air vent (under instruction from the local law enforcement) to catch a guy who kept coming into one of our labs to search for child porn. It was tied back straight to a VCR. Worked great and was pretty cheap, but very labor intensive.
I wouldn't be too scared of an outdoor camera - they make a ton of different type of enclosures. Plus, that would make it easier to use features like infrared for night vision, movement sensing for not wasting time with a "blank picture", and/or picking up audio, too, if you wanted...

Today's Featured Article - When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
