DSLR with remote pc viewing?

Question

I have limitied mobility and need a digital SLR that I can place in unusual positions (like near the ground). But I need rig to view what the camera is seeing at all times on my remote pc. I might have to stay there for quite a while, and then I want to trigger the shot from the remote pc.  By remote pc, I simply mean the short distance to a chair where I can sit and watch.
Any brands, rigs or ideas would be appreciated. 
Thanks,
Jim

Is there a setup by any of the mfr available?

This might do the trick:

It's a sensor that attaches to the viewfinder of most dSLR cameras and projects the image to a small LCD screen. I remembered this product from a while back. It turns out that the ZigView also has a tv-out so you can view this live image on your computer screen as well. 
Add a remote control to trigger the shutter (either from the camera manufacturer or fom ZigView - they thought of that, too) and you're just about there.
The only thing you don't have, is automatic uploading. So you'll still have to tranfer your shots to the computer the regular way.

Sound like you need a DSLR with live view and tether shooting capability, a hard combo to find.

The new Olympus E510 might do the trick. It has a live veiw screen (I don't think it can live view to a laptop or PDA/Palmpilot device though) and with Olympus Studio Master software you can control the camera through your PC/Laptop.
