The Foscam FI8910W seems to be pretty popular.  It can Pan and Tilt. I have one and am pretty happy with it for the price. I think I paid $90 or $100 for mine.  I've seen it go as low as $80.

I did this years back with my old tank, had a camera across the room focused just on the tank with an on demand stream server. I used it to watch my tank from the office I commuted to for stress relieving purposes. LOL

Is it wireless or does my modem need to be in the same room?

I have the foscam too and LOVE it. Its wireless and very clear. Their app also works fantastically. I monitored my tank from Europe on my iphone with it and it worked great.
Indefinite hiatus from sw aquariums.

Once I have my glorious return I'll set back up the following.
