Need help with PC surveillance system
« on: September 01, 2007, 06:16:15 PM »

I am noob when it comes to this.  I am not sure what I need.  I know I want to go wireless.  I am looking for something basic.  It will be indoors to monitor the dogs while we are away.  So decent image and sound are important.  Only need one camera maybe two.  I would like to use my PC for recording.   I just don't know exactly what I need to do this.  Do I need a DVR PCI Card? Just software?  Thanks for any help you could provide.

  • And the Xray Vision Software

Here's an example (with the wide angle lens camera)
