Looking to put in a Wireless outdoor Home Security System

[George Leithead]

Hi all,

I have a requirement to install an outdoor security system, and was
looking for advice.

What I would really like to do is take advantage of the Wireless
broadband connection and have the camera(s) made available over the
internet, without having to put cables all over the place. Therefore
recuding the overall cost to implement.

Must Have
========
- Wireless over 'broadband' Internet Connection
- Cost Effective
- Weather proof (Not extreme)
- Night vision

Would Like to Have
==============
- Solar Powered (So 'system' not need any wires as all, not even for
power)
- Ability to have more than 1 camera
- Remote controlled (pan, tilt, zoom)

Alternatively, could I put in a standard Wireless Web Camera, and
simply house it in a weatherproof case? If so, how would I go about
that (camera, case, accessories)?

Given todays 'green' requirements, for the system to be solar powered
and therefore no wires, I'd need a solar panel and a solar battery?
Any reccomendations?

Try www.supercircuits.com they have wireless wifi cameras and solar
accesories

I'd guess it should come in around $85.00 or so.

That's called "green" conservation.

A green solar battery too - I wonder what that is.

Maybe one of those nickel metal hydride that is mined in Canada, then
shipped to China via supertanker, manufactured in Tiawan then shipped back
by freighter to be sold in US for 100x what it's worth. Oh, wait that's for
the Prius.

The budget would be about £200 - £600.

A ptz weatherproof day/night IP camera gonna run more than twice your high
end and that's not even a wireless one.

Ok, let's go for the must have:

- Wireless over 'broadband' Internet Connection
- Cost Effective
- Weather proof (Not extreme)
- Night vision

Do I have to buy an external camera, and not simply a Web Cam and
house that in a Weather proof case?
