The plastic shrink wrapper comes off quite easily with a pocket knife.

If you need help with getting rid of the shrink wrap plastic, methinks
the local recyclers will direct you to the proper recyling center.

coax, DVD, VHS, OTA, etc.

nice. now, how 'bout a serious contributor? i spoke at length with
linksys technical only to have them say, "sorry for your
inconvenience". there must we away to embed this video directly in a
page w/o their template (i dare not say wrapper!).

Sure. But first kindly supply a Linksys model number and hardware
version (from the serial number tag). I'm lazy and really don't want
to research what it takes for all Linksys model cameras.
(Hint: Numbers are a good thing)

Ah, thank you for disclosing what you're trying to accomplish. You
want to imbed a streaming video feed into a web page? That's more of
a web design problem, of which I know nothing. Can you supply an
existing web page example of what you're trying to accomplish? There
are various techniques by push feeding video into a web page is a
problem. The camera will use 100.0% of your outgoing bandwidth
pushing video into the web page. That looks nice but without QoS,
tends to be a problem. More common and easier on the bandwidth are
just a series of JPG snapshots uploaded at regular intervals using FTP
or HTML PUT.

If running Win32, use the free Nullsoft Video tools to stream your MPG
video at any frame rate you desire, with and without audio sync. No
QoS needed underneath. If you like pushing jpegs, there certainly are
lots of solutions, but opensource seems limited to the Univ. of Ulm
WebVideo tools (compile on SysV, and they also had Win32 binaries).
