I have 2 questions regarding wifi cameras...

1) Is it possible to buy a wifi camera that allows me to incorporate the video stream onto my own website, instead of forcing me to log into the camera makes website and view the stream there?

2) Should a wifi camera be able to work over a public access point, or should it only work over my wireless router because I have to open up the ports etc.?

As far as I am aware, IP cams come with built in HTTP links to view the cams. This includes WiFi cams too. A WiFi cam should work with both APs and Rs.

Does the fact that they come with built in HTTP links mean I won't be able to use the stream on my own website?

If you really wanted to, I am sure you could strip the code out of the cams HTTP page to use it on your own....

The thing is though I want people to be able to go to my webpage from anywhere in the world and to be able to see the stream, and I'm not sure if this is possible as I think to initially access the camera you have to log into their website.

Ok next question...what would be a decent camera that's wireless which would allow me to embed my own videos into a webpage?

Why don't you find a company, you could try Axis. Contact them and ask them if their cameras allow you to add code to your own pages to stream. I'm sure its possible. As for recommending you, that is one thing I can't do because I am not experienced in the camera scene.
