I figured the hardware area may be the best place to post this.....
Now that I've gotten naslite up and running and working well with a bunch of drives in it. I'm considering the idea of setting up a home survellience system. My goals are.........
To start between 2 and 4 wireless webcams in various locations throughout the home/property, with the ability to add more as needed. They need to be tiny. I don't want some big, ugly looking survellence cameras.
The cameras can/will activate based on motion and either record or take pictures of the area.
The user (myself and family) should be able to view the camera's from any PC either from within the home or when away.
Part of my rational for this is planning for our 'family growing by +1' this upcoming summer period. The ability to check his/her status from a laptop, etc, while in the backyard, etc, would be great, and the added home security is plus.
I would think hope, that I could then also archive the recordings and images to my nasbox with some type of backup software utility being used.
I've done some research, but any help and suggestions for cheaper/better cameras and software would be great. And I'm open to either running the software on any platform, as have the parts to build a dedicated PC for it if needed.
I'm really hoping for some camera suggestions, as I really don't want to go spending $100+ per camera if it can be avoided.
Here's a couple of nice articles I have already found.
