home security cameras

 

I want to put in a few infrared/usual wireless cameras in my house
and monitor them thru the pc. Preferably with a pan tilt unit
attached to each one. Anyone knows something like this that
is available which has a low lumen and is cheap. Any comments
are appreciated,

Thanks,

  Is the PC inside the house or do you want to monitor remotely? Quality
equipment is not cheap.

Meanwhile, check out www.x10.com

 I would prefer both in house and web access.
But I guess the problem with web access is that
I have a cable connection at home (comcast)
whose upload speed sucks...

Quality equipment: How much are we talking here?
Whatz a good camera for this purpose  price/performance wise?

 The good ones I've seen run for $150 - 200 a piece.

The cheap ones only send still images and don't work well in the dark.
There's a good one by D-Link, runs about $180, has it's own web server
built in, makes remote access very easy. The other site to look at is
www.smarthome.com. I've been told they are a bit overpriced, but it's a
good place to start.

 

Yep. You can get web server boxes that will interface wih standard security
cameras, but you will be talking several hundred dollars per camera if you want
motorized pan/tilt, infrared and color. Slightly less without color.
