Yep. You may need to modify or otherwise alter the way the camera fastens to the ninja. Large heavy cameras may prove too much for the ninja. Other members have used other brand cameras on the ninja, and even wired cameras.

Since you use a dvr card you might wish to try a thirdparty software PC Companion (http://www.angelfire.com/in2/ontkoi/X10AHP/PcCompanion.html) can controll pan N tilt cams. Since your connecting to your vacation home with PC Anywhere this might be what your looking for! ;)

I think it was KDR... back in 2006... that mentioned using a wired IR camera on a ninja. It turned out to work perfectly for me as well. The thing sticks out like a sore thumb for anyone looking-things-over. I think it would be a real deterrent for any would-be intruder.
