Wouldn't a wifi webcam be a better solution?

Yes, but at what cost and with big battery at the camera end?

If you shop around you could find colour wi-fi web cam for around £60 or
another type of suitable 'bird box' type of colour camera (with night
time LED illumination etc.) and a 2G wireless link for around £30/£40.

Once you add the wireless transmission bit to the camera it needs 1 to
2W of power. As the bird box is likely to be remote from your mains
power you will either have to run a power cable to it or else provide a
local source of power such as a car battery, which will have to charged
on a regular basis.
