Is there a camera that meets all of these needs?
1. Works Outdoors and is weatherproof
2. Wireless Network capability
If so, what make and model do you recommend I purchase.
thanks for the advice.

Most quality IP cameras require a housing to be used outdoors and I don't know of any wireless IP cameras that don't require one.

I was wrong :
check out the Panasonic BB-HCM371A
I have never used one so I can't tell you if it will work.

We have a number of customers that use the wireless IPCAMWLPTZ with a heated/cooled dome enclosure, IPCAMENCLODHF with great success. That being said, your wireless connection and environment will have a lot to do with performance. I recommend a good strong WAP, possibly connected to an outdoor antenna depending on distance and thickness of walls. Your other option is to use an Ethernet bridge to change a wired camera to wireless.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

I just ordered 2 wireless outdoor network camera systems from www.wirelessoutdoorcam.com for our contruction forman to monitor their site after work hours. They keep having materials disappear from the job site and need to put a stop to it. We already have an offec trailer there with a PC and phone line and we can get DSL and record to the PC. We plan an access point to connect the camera, PC DSL modem to. In theory it should work. If it does we will be ordering more for our other sites. They are a little pricy but still a good buy compared to the other options out there. I'll let you know how it goes.
