OK, I found this cheap controllable camera with tilt/pan/zoom/sound vs. a static camera with no sound. I've been using it a little over a week and I have to say, it has it's problems but does most of what I wanted.

It was about $50 and I gave it 3 stars not so much for the camera as the software is a bit too simple and has a few bugs. You can read my review.
I would love to hear from others trying different cameras in those price ranges so we could compare notes and find the better ones of the bunch.
