Damn straight.

I'm working on having a live feed streamed to a monitor at my work - so I can keep an eye on things while i'm at work. Heck, no-one else will...

Still trying to figure it all out - not sure if I should use the internet to send the signal or use a boosted video sender thingy (work is only couple hundred metres from home).

If you get a powerful wireless LAN, you should be good for heaps of MB per sec. I have friends in Dunedin who, when broadband was still really expensive, got a powerful wireless router from overseas, and they shared their connection with a flat about a kilometer away! There were about 10 people using this thing.

mmm, just worried about my internet usage... would start pulling the notes out of my rear.

Or do you mean like a network thingy? not streaming internet data instead just a network connection?

Either that or I get a really really long cable and cable tie it to the power line..

..doubt that would end well though.

That's right, and you can use it around the home too. All you'd need is the powerful wireless router, have a look, dick smith sells the powerful ones, they're not too much more than normal routers.
Worthwhile thinking about if you are going to buy a wireless router anyway.
