Cash Drawer Security Camera?

TypeleveN

I am looking for a program that will let me attach a switch to a cash drawer and have about 90 seconds before and after that drawer is opened to be recorded so I have a recording of all transactions made to monitor any kind of skimming or funny business. Id just like to have one video file for each day so I can just play it and see the whole days actions.
All those options are rather expensive. I have cameras and a cash drawer. All Id like is a switch that triggers a recording. I found this, It has sensor based recording (there are terminals for switches)

but at $750 I think that a software solution must exist for this.

Hope you find what you are looking for

what kind of computer program would I need to run 6 security cameras?

Josh B

also what computer capabilities would be required and How much hard drive space for daily videos would I need.

Answer
this is a very good question i have 32 cameras around my house and around my cars. i have 2 300g hard drives and you only have to clean it once a month. the Program needed is depending on what kind of cameras you have if you are using Web cams then you need a program called Crime Catcher. i am using a 600$ software. witch i don't think you would like to spend crime catcher does the same thing as mine but the difference is im not using web cams i have this huge network for it. so check out crime catcher.

PC capabilities: make sure you have enough USB inputs as well as at lest a duel core at lest that just because some web cams now have night vision and with u running night vision on 6 cams will slow down your PC.

another hint Reboot your system EVERY MORNING to replace the ram. :D good luck mate any problems email me and il help yea. Needtobelazy@yahoo.ca
