What is the best camera for streaming video on a website for cost and functionality?

best security camera website image

Ben

Here is what I want to do: I have a contract to create a website for someone who wants to have 24-hour streaming live video of a bridge construction site. The camera that my client has is a security camera and won't work for this project, so I have to find a new one. I would prefer something that is plug-and-play or easy to set up. It would probably be set up outdoors, though a cover could be built and it would need to be able to have some zoom capability. What camera would be the best solution for both cost and functionality? Thanks in advance for the help.

What program can i use for my security cameras?

Justin

I am a member of a volunteer fire dept. and we have some security cameras. It is hooked up to a VCR and we need to upgrade it to the computer. Is there a program where the cameras can be recorded onto the computer?

Answer
We've found Milestone's Xprotect program to be the most flexible solution for all of our surveillance camera installs because it isn't proprietary or locked into any specific brand of camera. It's got a ton of features, plus I think at the moment they are still having a promotion where you can download the single-camera licence for free.

They also just released an "Enterprise" version which you pay the licence for on a per-camera basis instead of a 4-camera licence or something minimum when you don't have that many cameras. Check out their website to see if the promotion is still running.
