Hi Blue -
Go look around at www.supercircuits.com. That will give you a flavor of what is available.
I've installed about 20-30 cameras at the university for dorm security that are tied back to digital video recorders which store everything on a hard drive enclosed in a unit that looks about like a VCR. They tie to the DVR by coax, but the DVR itself is network accessible for access from anywhere. Not cheap, but great access since it records a full week at a time for about 8-12 cameras simultaneously.
D-Link makes a camera that can be either wired into the network or talk via wireless. It works fine - gives a decent black/white picture, but don't count on the "record to PC" feature to work worth a hoot. The software is very buggy. Really only good for watching the actual picture real-time (while it takes place).
I also installed a buttonhole camera about the size of a dime in an air vent (under instruction from the local law enforcement) to catch a guy who kept coming into one of our labs to search for child porn. It was tied back straight to a VCR. Worked great and was pretty cheap, but very labor intensive.
I wouldn't be too scared of an outdoor camera - they make a ton of different type of enclosures. Plus, that would make it easier to use features like infrared for night vision, movement sensing for not wasting time with a "blank picture", and/or picking up audio, too, if you wanted...
