A company I represent would like to install a webcam on their property that will stream its images to their website. The webcam itself would need to be wireless 802.11 G/N or similar so that it can communicate with their main wireless router. Idealy it would have built in FTP so that it can sent its images to a website on a regular interval OR have an HTTP server so it could transmit images that way.

Does such a device exist? I know Sony makes some models that are very expensive and are more an enterprise solution but does an affordable counterpart exist?

If not, might anyone have suggestions on how to achieve this by other means? Thx.
 
There are plenty of IP cameras that can FTP images back to a server. I am sure some of the camera regulars can do a better job recommending that I but we will need some more details. Is it going to be an outside camera? If so, what climate (i.e. hot, wet, cold) will it reside in? What resolution is desired? Will low light/night vision be needed? What is your budget?

Just as an example, something like a TRENDnet TV-IP100W might work for the basic task. There are quite a few models available across many brands with a fairly substantial range of prices.
 
I asked the company the question you put forth. It will be an outside cam. The climate in the area has hot summers and cold snowy winters (Whistler BC Canada). We have a $300 max budget, Low light vision is not a major concern.
 
For $300 the choices will be limited but you could use something like a TRENDnet TV-IP100W or TV-IP512WN with an exterior enclosure like the TV-H510. Bear in mind that cameras of this range offer limited resolution (640x480) so the final result may be underwhelming to some.
