You need an IP camera that connects directly to a network via wired ethernet or wireless wifi. They aren't cheap and the logistics and cost of setting yourself up a network 15 miles from home would possibly be quite big! You can use a secure link so only you could view it or possibly use a password protected https secure web page but this might be the least of your worries.
Simply put, if you want to set this up somewhere like your office where most of the infrastructure is in place, then you probably just need the IP webcam and an hour or two. If you want to set one up at the beach to check the surf before you pack up the van, then unless you're rich, forget it!
