| 1207572 | 2011-06-09 00:40:00 | Thanks Chill, that looks like a definite maybe. Apart from the wi-fi interference issue, wireless seems to me to offer a lot of advantages in terms of installation (no wiring) etc. That PBtech camera - is it weatherproof? This is all theoretical the moment, but I'll point my people at this thread so they can start to get an idea of the issues and possibilities. |

| 1207573 | 2011-06-09 03:13:00 | Check the frequency that operates on. You'll find you blow all chance of using wifi nearby to smithereens :D What you want is a few of these: pbtech.co.nz With something like this: http://www.go1984.com/ I've just got me a couple of those model TP-Links after making the same mistake as Jen with some el-cheapo cams that operate on the 2.4Ghz frequency. They're *infinitely* better!! That Go1984 isn't cheap especially when compared to Zoneminder. I like the camera though and with the two way audio you could have the computer tell the little bastards to F_off. |

| 1207577 | 2011-06-09 09:31:00 | Hi Tony Have another look a Vitamin D. It offers great features and is very easy to set up. Motion dection sounds good but it can be a pain in the ass as well. Cats, dogs etc as well as moving plants in the wind are false triggers. Vitamin D actually detects people not motion. I really like the idea of hot zones and rules which allow you to find the bad guy quickly through a whole days of video. It can even send an email to your phone or another computer if you set it up correctly. Have a look at Vitamin D Demo Video. (www.vitamindvideo.com) Well worth the money. BURNZEE |

| 1207579 | 2011-06-09 10:49:00 | Have a look at Vitamin D Demo Video. (www.vitamindvideo.com) Well worth the money.Certainly looks interesting. Brings up an interesting point though - the computing power required to run that (or any other) system. The PC we have at the moment is old and underpowered. Add upgrade costs and the economics change. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1207580 | 2011-06-09 12:00:00 | I have seen that the whole survelliance gear usually get stolen. My Boss put one in and on a weekend it all went missing. Was not PC based though and it was there to check on the workers who were not working as such. | Snorkbox (15764) | ||
| 1207581 | 2011-06-09 20:00:00 | I have seen that the whole survelliance gear usually get stolen.I believe when the Park and Ride at Sunnyvale was created, the security cameras were stolen within a week of being installed. They are now higher up the posts and are protected by spikes. | Tony (4941) | ||
