Ip Camera Broadcast

Im not sure where to post this so please help.

I need two cameras set up in two seperate rooms broadcasting to internet. Any ideas or places for me to start?
 
I would start with Digital and Video Cameras. I'll move it there and leave a link here.
 
Not much response here - maybe we need to know what "lp" stands for relative to a video camera.

Right off hand, I would guess that each camera needs to be linked to a computer that has Internet access.
 
Thanks for trying to help. IP refers to Internet Protocol. Im trying to hook up a couple cameras on my network and have them dispay on a website. Any ideas?
 
I have a Foscam, $89 w/ PTZ & IR: (available in Black or White)

They also make outdoor models (no PTZ). You can do outdoor PTZ with a $70 bubble enclosure (like at the mall) sold on eBay. You can do live streaming via HTML source code in Firefox, Safari, and Chrome since it's an image refresh and not an actual H.264 stream. I think IE uses something different, never done it. From what I've seen you just use an IMG tag and point it to a DYNDNS type of link with a guest username & password, like this:

<img src="http://yourusername.dnsalias.com:8080/videostream.cgi?user=visitor&pwd=1234" width="415" height="280" />
 
You can also just set up port forwarding if you have a static ip from your provider. DDNS or static it's similar in function.

Keep in mind basic outdoor enclosures are not climate controlled. Fog/condensation plagues them at times.
