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.

Remote Security Camera?
Gary B
Planning on buying a home, I want too put a Security Camera in the home so I can monitor the home. Looking at 800 miles.
I understand the principle of the camera. What is a needed too support the camera? I presume another computer? Then what links that computer location "B" too my home Computer location "A" Again I presume the Internet,Does that link have too be high speed,can it be dial-up? But what happens at location "B" when I have a power failure and I have too re-boot that system,how is that done? And what program bridges the two computers too gether, If on the internet is this secure where only I can monitor?
Answer
There are a couple of ways that this can be done.
The easiest way would be to use what is known as an "IP camera." This is a CCTV camera with a built-in network adapter. You plug the IP camera into the internet. In a residential application, this would typically require a high-speed connection, such as DSL or cable. The IP camera is assigned its own IP address (such as 12.123.45.123).
At the viewing end, you would need a standard personal computer with an internet connection. To view the camera, you use a standard web browser, and enter the IP address to connect to the camera. There is usually a log-on screen that requires you to enter a username and password before you can start viewing. Some IP camera manufacturers also have their own software for viewing that work like the web browser but offer additional features.
So with the IP camera, you would need just the camera and an internet connection at the house, and just a standard PC with a network connection at the viewing location. With this arrangement, you could view the camera from anywhere in the world. The IP camera would pretty much restart itself in the event of power failure so there would be no issues with rebooting, etc. just so long as the network connection was intact.

Your second choice would be to use what is known as a "remote video viewing system". This requires the use of a video transmission unit (VTU) and one or more standard CCTV cameras. You plug the cameras into the VTU, and then plug the VTU into a standard phone jack. If you have ISDN, that works best, but a regular telephone line works also.
At the viewing end, you would need to have a standard PC that had a dial-up modem. You would need to install viewing software that came with the VTU on this PC. To view the camera, you simply launch the software and click a button. This establishes a connection with the VTU and the other end and allows you to view the camera.

The IP camera with high-speed connections connections would allow you to view real time (or nearly real time) video so would offer the best viewing experience. The remote viewing system doesn't require high-speed connections, but typically offers less than real time video viewing.
