I want to install one outdoor camera so I can see who is at my door or perhaps loitering at the bottom of my stairs. I want ot monitor this activity from my PC one floor above the door. I have no need to view this remotely from any pc around the world....
As I am in process of framing the house, so I can choose a camera that needs a 110 volt line, or it can be power over ethernet. I want to limit sending on the camera to $200 to $300. The area will be lit at night by a motion detector, so I don't need lighting built into camera. I have no need to record what's going on either.... I suppose I need the camera to have a motion detector built into it so it is not constantly running. Will I need software installed on PC to view images from camera? thanks much for any help! Jim
