Every home needs a router. Why not to turn your router into a webcam and data server, for example, to monitor a baby.
Linksys router WRT160NL can be reprogrammed to use OpenWRT (that is a kind of Linux), to connect a hub, flash stick, webcam, sound card, one wire interface and arduino for relay control, one-wire temperature sensors. The router still preserves its function as a rooter. Power consumption is 5W with webcam. WRT160NL costs ca 60 EUR+ 30 EUR webcam. Here are links to example router webservers:

http://router4.site40.net/
http://78.84.193.176/
http://87.226.78.126/salaspils/
Below are the notes with code that will help you to set up such webcam data server.

Hi, I saw some of your articles and they are all awesome! We have some similar interests so I would like to share one gem of a device I discovered. It is small TP-LINK WR703N router:

You can get it for 25$ and it uses only 0.5W of power. It has 400 Mhz Atheros chip and 32MB of RAM. And it is tiiiiny ;) Cheers, Valent.
