Although any IP based camera could be made to work with a little playing about with port forwarding and dynamic DNS.

I SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE CLEAR,SORRY.

I will not have internet facility at the camera location as i will be closing my internet account,but will have wireless connection at my new location,so i guess i need a "stand alone or self transmitting camera "sending pictures to my new place.
That's not going to happen cheaply.

You'd need a camera/system that has a 3G capability (as in it will have a mobile phone SIM in it) which isn't going to come cheap for the hardware and then on top of that you'd have to pay a regular amount to cover the data usage over the mobile network.

(the above assumes the location is in a good 3G mobile area, if it's not than video isn't going to happen period, regular (once a minute or 2) static pictures are the best you could hope for without serious money)
OH, if you happen to have line of sight between the two locations then a couple of directional wireless points could be employed, you could go upto about 20 miles easily enough but the equipment isn't going to be cheap. It would remove the monthly cost though.

That gives me something to think about,
thanks everyone.
As has been mentioned already, the key is to through the tracking, to ensure safety, as long as the system implement this function is normal, the product can well meet your home. The remote video monitor are another can be installed in the home owner. This convenient the former is away from home, travel a few days or weeks together. Let the user monitoring facilities of the house, even if he/she left home. According to some people camera system advanced technology such as security and a huge price tag, but you will also give them affordable price cheap, in many of the retail stores.
