Ip Based CCTV
 

Hi All,

After having my car trashed last night by some trackie wearing chav i have decided to invest in some IP based CCTV.

Now not really sure where to start with all this as it aint something i have got any experience of!

Has anyone got any idea's

I need 2 camera's and it need to run with Win Server 2008.

I would like to be able to remote in and view the camera's and maybe have the ability to view them internally as-well without having to log on to the server via remote desktop.

Thanks :)

You could probably get away with just buying two web cams and then running some software like this http://www.webcamxp.com/home.aspx

I have a similar setup for watching birds in my bird box but its a Macintosh configuration. Im going to stream it at http://watchmytits.com/ using Stickam fairly soon. (The birds are blue tits).

ok yeah that seams a good idea!

Any advise for a decent night vision camera max price approx £300

I think you'll need to display a sign saying you are recording, else you could be infringing on their human rights to act like animals

Re: Ip Based CCTV
 

Nope, public place so you can record what you want as long as that recording doesn't infringe on privacy (i.e.. a neighbours garden or window)

but there's very few places in a street where you can point a camera without doing that

1. Mount it high.
2. Mount it in your neighbour's place across the street (with a reciprocal arrangement).

For a cheap option this is a handy camera and very cheap on the link compared to anywhere else. Its not nightvision but might be worth giving a try.
