Subject: RE: Building a surveillance system for a house with a do-it-yourself NVR
Dave and Pranab,
I am thinking about doing this in my house as well however I wanted to set up a hybrid system using a few wireless and wired technologies.
Are there wireless cams that do 802.1.x authentication?
What is the security like on cams that run on the 'zwave' technology? What about the x10 which is similar? (these are home automation technologies)
I read an article that someone can come plug into to your exterior to your house and gain access to these devices. Can anyone make any comments regarding this? I would be very interested
Regards,
Adrian Milanoski

Pranav,
There are some good software based surveillance setups that work with IP and Web cams, there are even some free ones.
Visec - http://www.visec.ne
Eyeline by NCH - http://www.nchsoftware.com
ISPY has a free version, I am not aware of its capabilities.

Subject: Building a surveillance system for a house with a do-it-yourself NVR
Hi all,
I apologize if this is off topic since I am dealing with a home situation here. I am considering implementing a surveillance system for my house. I plan to use IP cameras. Yes, I already have a network in place and have figured out the placement of the cameras.
The network video recorder is proving to be the most expensive bit of equipment in the whole setup. I was wondering if it is possible to use a desktop pc instead. I would connect the cameras to a switch and have a desktop pc interrogate the cameras and relay the feeds in real-time to a television such that a user can change channels to monitor the different camera feeds. Yes, we get TV tuner cards but do we get software that does something like this? I need non-computer savvy users to be able to monitor the cameras.
There are inherent risks with using WiFi.
