@Sparkman Thanks for the link. No I missed that one. I like what @Oitzu did in his camera project.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Definitely gave me some thing to think about.

I am currently designing a home automation system and I would ultimately like to have the ability to take a picture of the room with my sensor in the event motion is detected. Possibly expand this to an active webcam as well.

Also, since traffic will be increased in this regard it would also be nice if the sensors communicated in a mesh network. I'm dealing with 3 floors and I have a lot of dead spots. With a mesh network I could overcome those obstacles by letting each node act as a repeater.

Thanks
