Im afraid I dont know enough about the cameras, ours are wireless but go straight to a TV but there are various types that would do that job im sure, I would get in touch with a firm that sells cameras and ask for their advise to what would work best.

If youre going wireless then you need a receiver and transmitter in the house, if youre going wired then you need a big coaxial cable that runs right from the camera into the house. Then at the house you attach the cable from the camera or receiver into a video capture device that plugs into the computer via a usb. The USB ports on the computer must be high speed (USB 2.0) ports for the capture device to work. Then go on a website like marestare and download the software you will need and then you can watch it from wherever you are.
A 6mm lense is best as that will make objects appear the same size whether further away or close up. You will probably need a wired camera if there are large objects in between the camera and the receiver because the signal wont be so good.
