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!

security camera tampering?
destun.200
I work at our local school district which is equipped with security cameras. Recently, a theft occurred which may have involved a supervisor/night time security. When the employee asked for cameras to be checked, the supervisor claimed she "did not see anyone" going into a locked closet where the employees keys were taken out of. Also, when asked to view the footage along with the supervisor, the supervisor said, "No.You don't need to see." My question is, can frames of footage be edited out or deleted out. The security system is loaded into the supervisors computer that is equipped for real-time viewing and archive viewing.
Answer
Hi "Destun":
If it's an "inside job", someone besides the supervisor in question needs to see and review the original video files. Most CCTV systems have to be installed & maintained by licensed professionals, and have data security measures (time stamping, log files, file encryption & backup measures) to prevent tampering or to show when tampering has been attempted.
But on simple DVR-based (digital hard-drive video recorders), a skilled person could attempt to modify or delete certain scenes. As I said, attempts like that by anyone but the most-skilled data hacker would leave a "trail" on some data log or file-change log, in a well-designed system.
Someone at the School District level (District Superintendant or School Board rank) should intervene in the matter, since civil employee theft and fraud has become commonplace in many School Districts (especially at the maintenance & purchasing department levels).
If you need to, do an anonymous "whistleblower" report to the District higher-ups and/or whatever County Commissioners or overseeing tax body handles the budget money. They'll tend to get beneath the suspicious veneer of "You don't need to see...".
hope this helps,
