Could a novice person be able to set up a computer wired/wireless security camera device?

I want to set up several cameras in my house wirelessly connected to my computer that can record and I can watch if I want to "off site" with another computer.

Can I do it myself or should I have someone come and set it up?

If I can do it myself, can you give me any advise on a book or video on how to do it?

Answer
Wireless system packages may be the way to go here...a bit pricey any way you look @ it.
Google for 'home security/video cams' or similar.
After acquisition & deployment, try this application to tie it all together for remote viewing:
V-CamShow
enables you to watch your favorite web cams as a slide show or a screen saver. You can add as many web cam images to the slideshow as you want, automatically disable or reduce the refresh rate for inactive cams and more. The program comes with a large list of international locations and new web cam locations are added regularly which can be imported into your list. You can also add your own webcam to the list.
Freeware; other webcam utilities in the general heading here also.

How to view security camera from mobile device?

hsmnt

I want to watch live video (security camera) on the screen of my desktop PC at home, from my mobile device (symbian OS or WindowsCE) using internet GPRS connection. Which remote administration web services suitable to do this?

note: I want to avoid streaming video from the local PC when I'm not connected (to save bandwith), and refresh rate of 5-10 seconds would be sufficient. Any suggestions?
