What's an inexpensive way to transmit a video signal from a security camera over the Internet?

best security camera software for pc image

boferguson

We have installed security cameras at one location in our business, and have decided it is best to monitor the feeds from a different location. Both sites have high speed internet via cable bodem, and the camera uses a standard RCA video jack. Is there a simple hardware and software solution to transmit the feed to be viewed on a PC screen at our other location? I have looked at Slingbox, but think that may be overkill for our situation. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer
Actually, all you need is a good DVR with internet connection.

Has several. Run all cams to the DVR, let the output feed the internet.
This one will handle 4 cameras

I have a couple of clients using this method and it has several advantages over other options. For one they get recorded sessions from the cameras even if they fail to monitor.

I have a TV card with a couple RCA hookups, and have a couple security cameras hooked up to it. Is there software i can get to help monitor these cameras such as motion detection software?

Answer
Secure Cam
is a motion detecting web cam surveillance software that can automatically capture a series of images whenever motion is detected in the monitored area. You can adjust the detection sensitivity, automatically archive captured still images and playback the images in sequence with the supplied viewer application. Secure Cam can monitor and display up to 99...etc.
Freeware.
