my guess is that if you're going to find anything like that it's either going to be custom built or a bluetooth product.

aside from that there's always the ever faithfully advertised X10 cams.

Sure there is, it would require 2 tranceiver modules that would handle the bandwith required for video. It wouldnt be cost effective to do so though. The X10 cams arent that bad if you have enough lighting. Or you could get a little "Ice Cube" wireless cam for around $50 that are much better. I have one that has about 200 foot range. They have RCA output so you would need a capture card or if your video card has VIVO, that would work.

I dont know of any wireless USB adapters, and i doubt its something you could home brew. Theres always this.

Hey Luna, do you have links to that Ice Cube cam? And whats the range on these things? Would they go say 1000 Yards? With an antenna?

Says 150 foot range but mine will go at least 1000 feet line of sight. I had it on my R/C heli and I know I had it at least 1000 feet out with excellent reception.

EDIT: They also have the IR illuminated (night vision) version for $58
