I recently developed a program called Watch Tower. This turns an Android phone into a wireless surveillance camera. The phone takes images periodically and sends them (via HTTP) to a computer which can accept files. It can use either the cell phone's data plan or Wi-Fi to send the images.
Watch Tower requires setting up a receiver program on some computer, but this is very easy to do. This can be done on Windows, Mac or Linux using any web server and some trivial cgi scripting. Details on how to do this are also on the Watch Tower page.
The entire source code is available under the GPL.

Wireless surveillance camera has the ability to actually network and receive images from several different places, back to you wherever you might be.
You’ve made some good points here. I think that before buying a camera (wired or wireless) one needs to determine how the camera is to be used and what the application might be. Wired systems do provide high reliability but are generally more expensive and difficult to install. If you are looking for something more covert, wireless is the way to go. Wireless cameras are relatively inexpensive. They are easy to install and operate and don’t require running wires through your walls. Wireless cameras provide greater flexibility than a wired camera. Most of the issues you discussed can be overcome and may not even be an issue depending on the application of the camera. Wired or wireless…both have their appropriate applications.
