Suggestions needed for a good security camera for a small business. I would like to find something where I can

Q. monitor things over the internet. Not looking for a contract, just a camera I can hook up to my computer. THANKS!!

Answer
You can use something like digicam http://www.digi-watcher.com/ which will work with a wide variety of cameras. I have personal experience with Creative Labs' software http://www.creative.com/products/welcome.asp?category=218& for this purpose and found it completely functional but very difficult to set up (and I'm a IT Professional). If you can get a static address though, I'd recommend using a standalone system. There are cheap ones, like the x10 http://www.x10.com/homepage.htm which you may remember from their extensive pop-up campaign a few years ago; and really good ones like Axis http://www.axis.com/ which cost more but are more secure and reliable. I have personal experience with the Axis line, and found them to be exceptionally good. In general, you can search for "ip cameras" and find hundreds of models at ranges from <$100 to $1000s. You can even by several from Amazon.

Good Luck,
Richard

how much would security cameras for a small business would cost me?

Auburn P

i want to find out if there is a good security company out there and what do they offer how much per month

Answer
I believe you do not pay for camera security monthly unless you were making payments.. What you generally do is by the equipment and have it installed and that is that.
If you wanted security, then you would hire a night time watchman or something like that, which could be as expensive as 5,000 a week. It all depends on budget.
I recommend you find a good company that will install cameras and good ones at that :)

I am looking into setting up a system for a small business. Withstand MN winter outside. The camera, recorder and TV. Details and how to and where to look would be nice.

Answer
All you need is a camera that is environmentally shielded. If you live in a cold climate then make sure it has a heater in the housing. CAT-5 cable and monitor are all you will need from there. If you want to record you will need a DVR or VCR. If you have multiple cameras than a multiplexer is also needed. All these things can be purchased thru your local security company. Find a company that does business with a nationwide security monitoring service..like ADP, Monitronics, Brinks, etc.

How much does a typical small business or business security system worth?

AG

I need help related to a project I am working on(creating my own business) and I'd like to know if anyone knows roughly how much a security system for a small business is worth?

Answer
A basic system (all doors, a few motions, maybe a couple heats or smokes) would cost anywhere from $700-$1000. And about $40-$80 a month in Monitoring costs.

It really depends what you want on the system... things that would make the installation cost more: additional keypads, additional smoke or heat detectors, glassbreak detectors, a camera/surveillance system, etc. And too it depends which company does it. I know the company I work for installs for less then ADT. We also charge less for monitoring of the system.

Hope this helps! Feel free to e-mail me from my profile page if you have any questions.

Some of the things I'm looking at are are the Lukwerks security camera system and GE's Simon system. By small business, I mean your average Main Street small business. Anyone have suggestions for something else that's innovative and useful?

Answer
Our office uses a webcam security camera system that we got from Sam's Club. The boss can access it via the internet and there is an option for motion-sensing, too.

why don't you do what the bigger cell phone companies do. Just have dummy phones that are tethered to a stand, and have the real phones under lock and key in the back.
