This bring to mind the Black Mirror episode "Metalhead" with killer dog-like robots on the loose. What could possibly go wrong?

Oklahoma is hurtling off of a fiscal cliff, and it's entirely self-inflicted. They must be getting desperate.

We pay Â£25 / month, or about $33 USD. 50 down/25 up for $50 is a sweet deal in comparison.

I live in central London. The best I can get in my building? ADSL, 15Mbps up / 1Mbps down. No cable, no fiber.

I recently bought a Foscam HD camera (the FI9821W V2), and basic setup works okay using their web interface. For actually seeing images, in addition to the useless (for me) ActiveX and Mac plugins, it provides an RTSP stream (easily playable in VLC) and MJPEG stream (seems a bit buggy).

More importantly, Foscam provides an SDK ( http://foscam.us/forum/new-sdk-cgi-application-t13426.html ) that makes it possible to roll your own interface. For example (shameless self-promotion):
