Sending USB over a wireless link is going to be very hard to do. USB is a differential half duplex bus - sending and receiving happen through the same two pins. Unfortunatly USB also transmits DC levels on the two pins to detirmine the type of USB device. You might be able to put something together but it's not a simple project.

USB Webcams aren't the only type. See if you can get yourself a nice Composite camera. This will be far easier to send a composite signal wirelessly.

At the PC end, just use a Hauppage WinTV card's composite input to get the video back on your PC.


Hope this is helpful,

Dan

tron: Why don't you just buy one of thoughs cams that have the transmitter built in? I bought one from walgreens for 60 Bucks...
AND it works on 9 volts.
