Are you concerned about running your system over the net? I travel a bit for work so bought one of those camera's that work over wireless. I figured that I could position the camera to view my grow, meter etc and log in externally to monitor it all. The security concerns me... though maybe it's no worse than posting here anyway:/

Well...it's always a concern. Personally I guess it just comes down what level of security you're comfortable with. The 3 main techniques I would use are:
1) The website can only run under an SSL certificate.
2) The website would be password protected.
3) *Optional* - Restrict access by IP address in addition to #2. Not practical for mobile devices.

Doing those steps would be sufficient security for me.
