Answer
There are 2 types of CCTV cameras:
1. traditional CCTV cameras with analogue video signal output
2. modern network cameras (IP cameras) with Ethernet network plug RJ-45
In case of traditional CCTV cameras you need additional equipment for remote monitoring
But if you have IP cameras installed mostlikely you can easily organize remote monitoring.
With most of IP cameras you can see live video using your Internet browswer (like Internet Explorer) when you type IP address in the browswer. Something like http:// 192.168.1.1
(if the camera as IP address 192.168.1.1).
To record the video you need additional software. There are plenty (maybe 50) diffrent IP video software vendors. For a start you can have a look on software list at http://www.video-home-surveillance.com/
Additionally some IP cameras can send emails with images when motion detectors "sees" motion. In this case you can go without any additional software. E.g. have a look on AXIS cameras at http://www.axis.com
But in case if you have traditional CCTV cameras to make the remote monitoring you will need
a DVR (digital video recorder) with remote access or a DVR board with a special surveillance software to make remote monitoring.

Is there a way to hook up security cameras so u can log into them on the internet and view them from home?

My buddy wanted a camera system that he could hook up in his house to monitor it when he is out on business. He wanted to hook up 5 video cameras in the house and then be able to view them on his computer via internet while away. Is this possible? If so how do we do this?
Answer
Very easy to do with the technology available in today's CCTV industry.
Along with the cameras, you will also want a security digital video recorder (DVR) to record the video. If anything occurs while he is out of town, he can access the video remotely anywhere in the world using an internet connection.
If the cameras are only going to be installed inside of the house, then a simple color CCD camera will be fine. If any cameras are going to be installed outside of the house, he should go with a day/night camera that automatically switches from color to black & white in low-light conditions (black & white produces a much clearer picture in low-light). He will also need an enclosure for any of the outdoor cameras to protect from the elements.
I do not recommend buying any "no-name" products when it comes to security/surveillance. As a professional in the industry, I can tell you that there are literally hundreds of new manufacturers trying to break into the rapid-growing surveillance market. There products are cheap, unreliable, and it is very easy to hack into all of their products if they are being used with remote access.
Some of the larger, proven manufacturers of the items you are looking for:
Pelco
Panasonic
Sony
Sanyo
GE
Honeywell
Take a look at the following website: www.videosecurityspecialists.com
They are one of the largest distributors of security/surveillance products. Give them a call and let them know what you want to accomplish with your mini-surveillance system. They will furnish you a quote and any literature you may need. They ship anywhere in the US and there pricing is some of the best in the country.
My recomendations:
1. Go with Sanyo cameras. VCC-6584 for the cameras inside your home and VCC-4594 for cameras outside of your home. These two cameras are the highest resolution in the industry and are the same cameras that almost every casino in Las Vegas uses. Pricing is approximately $180 for the VCC-6584 and slightly higher for the VCC-4594.
2. Use a GE digital recorder. One of the sales associate at VSSI can give you the pricing. Don't let them talk you into buying an expensive DVR with features you don't need. Ask for the least expensive 4-input DVR with the smalles hard drive space.
3. You will need at least DSL, preferably high-speed cable at your friends home which will be directly connected into the DVR. He will not be able to access the video remotely on a regular dial-up internet connection.
Good Luck!
