794161 2009-07-23 07:52:00 You'll need something better than RD. I doubt that will let you play / rewind / whatever by itself. You'll need some kind of monitoring program as well. And something that can / will let you look at whats happening via the browser

How much are you going to spend on the cam?? Even a webcam should work OK. All you need is the program

I will be using a desktop instead of a DVR. The reason i want a remote connection to it is because i want to be able to play and rewind from home.

That should allow you to do what you want remotely if both the home PC and Slave PC are hooked to broadband.
