Please log in for more thread options yet to decide whether to go wireless or to run cables. Obviously a wireless system would be easier to install, but I'm not sure about the quality of the video transmission. Also, I'm afraid the neighbors could pick it up (which is ok for outdoor). Could someone please comment on the pros and cons of wireless vs. wired surveillance, and possibly make any recommendations? Thanks! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options There are basically two choices in wireless video: (1) inexpensive junk with no penetration and such short range as to be viturally useless; (2) really expensive stuff that works really well. > Also, I'm afraid the neighbors could pick it up (which is

None of the residential RF cameras are encrypted, nor do they use exclusive frequencies. Basically, if you send it anyone nearby can view it. On the plus side, the video is of such poor quality that the neighbor won't be able to tell the difference between "marital bliss" and reading the newspaper. Of course, after a certain age these may be one and the same. If there's any way to run new cables, by all means do so. -- Regards, Robert L Bass =============================>

How about this though: http://www.homeplug.org/products/ If I understand correctly, this technology sends audio and video through the existing power lines, kind of like X10 does. Does anybody have any experience with HomePlug? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I would think this would be a natural. No need for added wiring yet with built-in security features so outsiders cannot access the video. There are a few other manufacturers of HomePlug cameras or HomePlug camera servers... http://www.vnunet.com/personal-computer-world/hardware/2187366/solwise-vesenet-homeplug-camera http://verinextechnology.trustpass.alibaba.com/product/11828953/Powerline_IP_Camera.html http://www.gigafast.com/products/product_detail/PE872-CS.htm | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
