It's really not as hard as people make it out to be...

hehe - I like that, "automagically"

I know if I were doing it, I'd want a direct video feed - which would take more bandwidth, but would be SO much cooler. You could get a camera that has a servo and it can pan back and forth - heaven knows you're not going to get the whole shot of your tank in one picture
