I really hope you guys figure out a good solution. I would very much like to use an IP camera. Mark, what kind of usb camera do you plan to use, and how will it be mounted? (inside looking out or outside)

The "camera" is actually an eachine ROTG01. It is a 5.8Ghz reciever that behaves exactly like a USB camera. On the camera end I have an inexpensive and low power 5.8GHz transmitter and camera (one of my other hobbies is first-person-view racing drone flying). The camera/transmitter power up from the backup light power and the ROTG01 receives it and pushes the video to the Pi. It works fantastic - aside from the fact that AA does not natively support the video in.
