>I would like to use a network camera that is battery powered and motioned sensored. I only would want the camera to deliver pictures to an FTP site or email only when motion is detected. I also would like to not have to find a power source where I want to locate the camera, so an extended battery life would be nice. Anyone have any recommendations? The battery powered feature seems to be the difficult option to find.

The Axis 210 does all that and supports 802.3af Power Over Ethernet,
so you don't have to supply power at the camera location. The motion
detection can be a little fiddly, but there's an awful lot of
flexibility in the camera.

IMHO, the power requirements of a network camera are going to rule out
battery power, unless you are talking about golf-cart batteries, and
then swapping/charging them is going to be difficult...
