best ip security camera kit image
PCnoob
Just need one for our house, preferably under £70.
Needs to be reliable 24/7, at night, through all weather conditions etc.
Doesn't need to work past about 15-20 meters, just need it to be clear up close (to spot the burglar! -_-)
Don't really mind whether it is second hand or not, would rather it new, but I have no idea which cameras are reliable or not so I would like someone to answer this with experience of the product they suggest.
Would also like to be able to access it through my computer (or even better, multiple computers), phone maybe, and other easy ways (although them two devices alone would be perfect)
Many thanks to anyone that can help! :)

Hi "PCnoob":
First, as for reliable brands, Swann (Australia/US/Hong Kong) and Lorex (US) are popular consumer-friendly lines here in the USA and elsewhere, and X10 Ltd has Scottish roots (with former British turntable maker BSR) and is now US-based (famous since the 70's for both wireless appliance/lighting remote control gadgets as well as wireless CCTV cameras).
All 3 companies make "wireless" (easy installation) and IP-based (computer/smartphone & web access) camera models, and you should be able to find dealers or UK internet sources. Depending on IP model you choose, some can even email your phone or computer account when you are away.
Your budget is just about right for a single camera (£70 or $100 USD); £100 or more will get you better features. You can stretch your budget by careful shopping for used or closeout/clearance "deals". I would suggest a visit to a local electronics shop that carries CCTV kits for the home, or a home-security specialty shop (won't cost anything to look), and get a demonstration to familiarize yourself with the various feature options & model differences before you try shopping online. Or visit each of the 3 major brands' websites and take advantage of any "shopping guides" or "buyer guides" they might have to view.
hope this helps,

Is it possible to have a home security system monitored without having a land line?

Answer
It depends on what type of monitoring hardware and software and extra service you want.
You can have your own wireless cameras and recorder and often today's DVR recorders have an Ethernet port so you can monitor everything from the web from any place.
They also make IP wireless cameras that have their own Ethernet plug right into the camera and the software built-in to the camera as well running as if they are their own server. So you can watch those cameras too right from the internet, anywhere.
Today many people are buying their own DVR wireless systems that come with a PCI card that goes into your PC and allows you to record, watch, everything, right from the internet from anywhere in the world.
You can buy nice 4 wireless cameras (waterproof), the receiver, the dvr card for your computer, everything you need, for less then $150.00.
If you visit eBay look under the category for "Other Surveillance DRV" and you will find many complete wireless kits.
