Get 1 of those x10 cameras
Or something like them. Fleabay would be the first place to start.
You can also find the transmitters on ebay pretty cheap.
Like this for $25 http://cgi.ebay.com/X10-Camera-Audio-Video-Receiver-X-10-VR31A_W0QQitemZ330203374484QQihZ014QQcategoryZ115946QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I searched for "wireless camera" & found lots for under $50 with camera & everything you need.
