Longest distance between camera and PC?
I want to get a surveillance camera to play around with in connection with an old PC that I'll put Linux and whatever freebie surveillance software I can find on.
In the back of my mind - if I can get something working... and after I've run it for a month or so just to see what comes through our back yard at night... I'm thinking about moving it to a utility building at the shore where a friend's business was broken into a couple of times already.
So, really 3 questions:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) What should I be thinking for the max allowable cable run between 'puter and camera?2) Are most "outdoor" cameras weatherproof enough to survive salt air exposure?
3) I'm thinking Digital, Black-And-White, able to see at night, as many lines as I can get. Brand/model recommendations?------------------------------------------------------------------------------
