Remote Capture with wireless network adaptor

I am planning ot take some nature shots in my garden with the camera remote close to the subject. I wondered wireless network adaptors used with Remote Capture would work. Anyone tried this ? I am using a D60.

There are all kinds of USB to network adaptors designed for the computer side. The stack protocol for 802.11 (WiFi) or Bluetooth is quite complicated and these USB/Network adaptors use the horsepower of the computer to drive the network protocols. I have not discovered any device side (camera) USB to network adaptors. The adaptor would require some kind of microcontroller and self-powered. Let me know if something like this is available?

I found this thread looking for something else..sorry if this is "old news" but...

you could theoretically connect a laptop with a (WI-FI) card and attach it to the camera via USB.

Then use remote computer software like PC Anywhere or Remote Administrator to control the laptop from another computer or laptop on the same Network.

It may even be possible to use Compaq IPAQs (Pocket PC) but I don't think the software I mentioned is available for Pocket PC. It can be done though the technology is there. I am just not sure if anyone out there has written the code.

Thanks to both of you. I understand now that I need to use a laptop to make use of the wireless network. I havent got round to this yet, if I ever do I will let you know.

Thanks

Another problem is that you could use a USB extension cable but USB is unreliable after about 19 feet so you would have to have a laptop no farther than 15 feet or so from the camera if you use a cable. Why don't you just buy the wireless remote transmitter and receiver for the camera? They are not cheap (several hundred dollars each) but they are cheaper than a laptop! You can control the entire camera from these remotes from what I gather. You could also get the timed remote like I have (around $125) and then buy the 20 or 30 foot extension cable for another $50. You can control the camera from that but not change f-stops, iso, etc.
