O/T: Home security cams sugg. needed Posted by ChuckD [Email] (#2127) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ChuckD) on Fri, 29 Apr 2005 09:52:14 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
We're buying a house a couple hours from where we now live but won't actually move there for around a year. Meantime a relative will be house sitting for us and we'll visit monthly or so.
I'm looking to set up one or a couple cams outside that I can check in to via the web and see how things are going occasionally. I need 640x480 resolution and the ability to plug them into a pc acting as a web server (on a broadband connection). They could be video or still, but if still, I need to be able to update frequently (up to every five seconds or so). They don't have to be wireless. Remote control would be a nice bonus. And they should be cheap (<$200).
I've looked at the X10 site and hear mixed things about them. Anyone care to throw in $.02 with personal experience?
BTW, I do IT for a living and am very confortable with computer/network/internet related stuff.
Thanks.
