I am looking for an home security camera sytem that I could link with my tv on it's own channel.

Any suggestions?

Answer
You can do this a couple of different ways:

Method 1) Wireless cameras, transmitting to a Receiver. From the receiver run the signal into a modulator, which will output the video as an actual TV channel. You'd need to add the signal onto your video network using a splitter/combiner.

Method 2) Wireless cameras and receiver, and connect the output from the receiver to an unused video input on your TV. View the cameras by selecting the correct input using your TV remote. This is cheaper and simpler than Method 1.

Keep in mind that the first method using modulation can have problems. The quality of the pictures may be poor, due to interference from nearby channels on your TV network.

The second method is almost foolproof, since you're using the "raw" signal straight out of the receiver.

Good luck!

What kind of home security camera should I get?

Q. Looking for some tips and ideas for buying home security cameras for our home (outdoor surveillance).

Answer
I would recommend a weatherproof security camera system with infrared sensors. Wireless security cameras are most convenient as well. If you are on a tight budget, you could try dummy cameras. As long as they are clearly visible, they may scare some bad guys away.

I need a camera to put in my workshop. This location has electricity, but does not have internet. My home is about 500 feet away from my workshop. I need to be able to view activity from my home at any time. I want a camera that I can simply plug in to work or that will work wirelessly. Any ideas of cameras I could use for security purposes?

Are security cameras at Home Depot monitored all the time?

Im not trying to steal
Just curious, because I notice the aisles wih boxes of bolts and washes are not packaged in boxes, can be easily stolen.
Also How long do they keep their recordings?

Answer
They monitor them 24/7 and if they see you they will arrest you the type of device they use would determine how long they keep them but usually it is a continuous loop that resets every 24 hours but some keep a copy on a yearly basis so if you are anyone you know has or is considering taking something you may end up with free housing.~
