Part of my current job at the zoo I work at is to help manage and install close to a hundred cameras, a good majority of which are IP-based. While IP-based do offer the flexibility of being able to be viewed remotely, they hardly ever give real time video. Are you looking to be able to have multiple locations view it at once? Does only one of the locations need to see it in real time? If so you have two basic options. Ditch the IP camera and buy a IP/Video converter box (like a flexwatch) or a network-based DVR and install a security camera OR keep the IP camera and just install a security camera and run coax to your location. I HIGHLY recommend the Speco VL-66 camera. It is a color/B&W infared camera. While the IR arrary on it only throws 50', the camera is a .5 lux camera so you shouldn't have any problem seeing with it. Let me know if you have any more questions about this. I also have a published paper I wrote on this subject talking about using a DVR to record animal births.
