They look very similar to the Linksys cameras I have already looked
at. I will need to do a lot of research on this. I will already be
spending a lot of money for the wedding (Father of the bride) and
just had to shell out for a new laptop!
Maybe this recession fix they are proposing will help pay for some of
this. :-)

Just wondering what you thought about the cameras I recommended. It
sounds like you really do not want to spend any money on them and that is OK.
The $186 Panasonic BL-C111A MPEG-4 Network Camera is a wired unit
that can pan & zoom via remote user input so if they don't like what
they are looking at the they can adjust it themselves.

It has a sibling that is wireless for $100 more.

The camera just needs an static IP address and Panasonic gives you a
website where the camera streams its data to and the user can
control the the camera from the website. It has day/night
capability's. It does 30 fps at 640x480.
MPEG-4 Network Camera
# Pan, tilt and digital zoom with presets

Long standing resentment is evident in my response. My wife and I
have been married 27 years. Her family has visited us only a
handful of times and since we moved from the north never.
However they travel in winter all the time to see his children
(Both were married and lost their spouses so two sets of children)
My wife's sister lives in town and they almost never see them. My
B-I-L moved to Alberta (Ft. McMurray oil boom) and gets back
occasionally. My wife is only child to live in the states so we
just don't get to see them. But we take the time to do so. My
mother is 78 and travels all the time, her parents are a few years
younger but claim not wanting to travel.
My family is closer and we see them 1-2 times a year.
They could fly here. We are only 4 hours from Atlanta and we do
have service from Atlanta here. But it is a family preference not
to travel here, so we put up with it, (does not mean we like
it. Have used weather enticement but they like cold and snow, but
then again so do I)
We do have broadband in the church. Unless someone wants to pay
the confiscatory fees to step it up we will live with the 450 kbs up.
(The cable monopoly in this area is pretty bad. Plus only one
phone company so we have either or, not a great choice. Nothing is
really faster unless you pay through the nose.)

It's REALLY far to drive, and air fares are high, so I wouldn't

Can't you sell travel with weather? Isn't it still winter in
northern Ontario? ;-D It wasn't all that warm when we went to
the Ontario provincial ag. expo. in the summer a few years ago.
Go ahead. Test it. If anyone has fast broadband in the vicinity,
would it be legal to use a Meraki box to bounce/boost it for a day
