best outdoor security camera night vision image
ferretkiss
I would like to put some security cameras around the outside of the house, because of trouble with the neighbors. I would like to view what the cameras see, later. I think I would need at least three cameras, one on the car in the street, one on the front porch area, and one on the back yard area. Or maybe two in the front.
What is the best way to do this?
About how much would it cost?
Answer
It depends what you want to do with the video.
An inexpensive consumer 4-channel surveillance DVR is about $300.
Add in a 500 gig hard drive for about $70 (records the video).
4 cameras - Average $100 each for outdoor rated, night vision, so $400... budget around $1,000 for a low-end, multi-camera, system.
The expensive part is the labor. Are you planning to install it yourself? How will the camera's wires get from the camera to the DVR? Thinking "wireless" cameras? They still need electricity - so is there power where you want to install the cameras?
Actually, "wireless" security cameras use more wires than wired ones... The camera needs power (1 wire) and transmits video wirelessly to a base station. The base station needs power and a wire to the DVR. Total = 3 "wires". A wired camera has one long "combo" cable that carries video and power.
How do you want to monitor that video? The DVR has a video-out connection that can connect to any TV with a working, available, composite (yellow RCA jack) plug. More expensive DVRs can be added to a computer network...
Frys (and Frysdotcom) has a good selection of security and surveillance stuff...

How do I connect surveillance camera that broadcasts on the Internet?
Vroom Broo
I want to set up an outdoor video surveillance and need to know what I need.
1. Need a wireless, solar camera because it will be installed 500 ft from my house. Do they have these?
2. Need an Internet camera that broadcasts on the Internet and saves the images so I can view it while working on the computer.
3. Night vision because there are no street lights here.
Please tell me which online stores have them and step by step instructions if possible.

Linksys Wireless-G PTZ Internet Camera with Audio WVC200 - Network camera - pan / tilt - color ( Day&Night ) - audio - 10/100, 802.11b, 802.11g - DC 5 V
The cost is about $250.00
The Linksys Wireless-G Pan/Tilt/Zoom Video Camera sends live video through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world!The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 640x480 video stream. MPEG-4 encoding facilitates good video quality in varying bandwidth environments. WVC200 also supports MJPEG compression for video, providing good video quality at high bandwidth rates.The comprehensive video features include an IR filter cut which allow you to see the images in low or no light environments when an IR lamp is used. Snapshots (in JPEG format) of the image can be taken and saved. Snapshots can also be scheduled and sent to an FTP server.If you want the video to be visible from a remote location or from the Internet, you can open an appropriate port on the Router, and then create password protected accounts to manage access to the camera, or leave it wide open for the world to see. Support for Dynamic DNS lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember "name", even while using a dynamic IP address. The Pan/Tilt and digital zoom function allows you to remotely control the camera movement and focus, giving you maximum flexibility remotely. Up to 10 simultaneous users can have access to the camera at any point in time. Software is included for multiple camera monitoring and recording to your hard drive with advanced search by time and date. Recording can be set up to record by motion trigger, manual or schedule recording and playback on Windows Media Player without the need for a proprietary player.You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. Wireless security features include WEP and WPA.
I'm not sure how you would get a 500ft range... Maybe with a belkin PRE-N router it says on the box says it will get up to 500,000( 5 hundred thousand ) square feet OPEN RANGE. ( Meaning not a lot of trees. )
I think if i am not mistaken that the max range for a wire to be run is 300feet. But i could be wrong so that would not work for you.
With a good router you should be able to get it to work.
As far as a power source you would have to use solar panel with a good size battery time.
