I would like to monitor a home 400 miles away from my home via my PC.  Are there any products out there that can allow me to monitor the inside temp, activate outside spot lights, possibly snap shots or streaming video from video cameras placed outside or inside the home?  I checked with X10.com but they don't have a system that can monitor the temp.  Would PC-anywhere be useful as a tool to access the PC at the other end?  I would also need a UPS and a PC that once shut down to boot back into the application.  Any suggestions would be a great help.
