Hi,
Yes I realized the missing - in d-link.
Your google link just takes me to google proper.
what is the model  of that unit, sounds perfect.
As long as the interface is not Linux proper getting it setup should be possible.
Thanks,
Karen

It's D-as-in-dog Link ("Dlink"), a manufacturer of networking
equipment and networked security systems.

I don't have any personal experience with them, but it looks like you
can get a wireless camera unit for under $50 (forgive the
horrifically long URL)

Based on a quick perusal of those results, this one (again, forgive
the long URL)

https://www.google.com/shopping/product/120862948181772520?biw=1040&bih=688&q=security+cameras&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.&tch=1&ech=1&psi=DOyqVZPUEoSQyASHh6fgDw.1437264902041.9&ved=0CAQQpitqFQoTCKu05uX15cYCFYwriAodYu0Lxw&ei=3OyqVavWJozXoATi2q-4DA

seems to have the basic features you're hunting at a reasonable
cost.  While obviously a security camera, it appears to be about the
size of a baseball/tennis-ball sitting on a similarly-sized base,
somewhat like a medium-sized snow-globe.

I can't vouch for the accessibility of it (it claims to have a web
interface but might require sighted help when targeting the door), but
that's certainly an option to explore.
