Hi Kathy
The cameras should have a small lithium battery inside, which should keep
the configuration if the power goes off. I've had my Axis camera powered off
for nearly 3 months without the config being lost.
You should be able to choose several different image sizes. I can only speak
for the Axis boxes as they are the only ones I've used, but you should be
able to choose 320x240 or 640x480. The larger the image, the more bnandwidth
it will take up.
You can also configure the cam to do either continuous streaming, or the
favorite one is to ftp the jpeg to a website at certain intervals (every 2
mins, every 10 mins etc).
