Answer
"Best" would be the pro-grade stuff. You should consider setting a budget.
For around $500, Swann and Lorex make decent 4-camera kits (DVR + cameras) that can be accessed remotely - and assumes you have a good knowledge of setting up networks and maintaining network security. It will be a good idea to use outdoor-rated cameras. The cameras with these kits aren't that great, but should be enough to get you started. It is best to install the cameras under the eaves of the house or under some other weather protection (even though they are "outdoor rated"). IP-network cameras cost a lot more, so it is probably best to stay with analog cameras that connect to a DVR that is on the computer network.
When a wired camera is used: A cable with the power and video feed goes from the camera to the DVR. At each end of the cable, there's a plug for power and a plug for video. If there is a mic in the camera, there will be a plug on each side for the mic. If there is Pan/tilt/zoom, there will be another plug for that... but that is all in one cable "bundle".
When a wireless camera is used: The camera needs local power (wire #1). The video is transmitted wirelessly to a base station. The base station connects to power (wire #2) and the DVR (wire #3).
Moral: a wired surveillance camera uses fewer wires than a "wireless" camera.
The DVR can be set up to send you email when certain alarm options are set up in the DVR. That way you don't have to stare at the smartphone all day. A special client needs to be installed on your phone - before you buy, check the ratings on the smartphone app and read the manual (download it from the manufacturer you are considering) to be sure it does what you want.

Can you make a wireless usb webcam?

I was looking for a wireless security camera, cheap though, so that i could attach it to my R/C tank (remote controlled tank with an airsoft cannon, that i upgraded to 800 psi on average) so i have a security system. So i found a USB webcam for $39.99. I was wondering if i could attach it to the tank then make it wireless. Or do they make wireless webcams? thanks.
Answer
Yes, but not with a USB camera, at least that you'd like to do.
What you will want to get is a wireless video camera kit, which will come with a receiver, which you then use with a USB capture card, if you want to see it on your PC, or a video monitor. The camera with them is pretty small and lightweight, and can run from a 9v cell, or likely your RC receiver battery.
