Video streaming from remote cameras

[mikeandrews]

Hello,

I would like to hear some ideas about today's remote cameras which can stream real time video.
The quality is important. I am looking to see what are the options from the resolution and color depth perspective.
However since it's real time recording, the resolution is more important then the color depth.
For instance, I think it's OK to have a monochrome or a grayscale video if the resolution is high.

To give you an idea of how the streaming should occur, I would like to know what are the options for streaming real time video on:
- short distances(within 14meters \ 46 feet)
- long distances(within 1km \ 3281 feet)

The size of the camera needs to be proportional with the streaming distance. For short distances I would like small cameras but for the long distance, even a 22" width\height camera is OK.

Looking forward to hear any help\ideas
Thank you.
