Interesting that this topic should come up, as my job is in radiation safety. You beat me to the punch, though. Especially the last link that you posted was excellent. I'm not worried about the IR being any danger. When she's younger, I'll probably just leave the light on. This is our...

Hi. I didn't move very quickly, but finally purchased the WiLife system today. As for now, I just have the basic one-camera setup. Setup took about 15 minutes. I would have been faster, but most of their documentation is on the CD only, and I had to look for a couple minutes to see the...

Here's one more response from WiLife. I'm going to see if they have this at my local Radio Shack. I'll post a review if I get it, though I get the feeling I'm talking to myself here. :) Hi Brian, There are no fees associated with direct mode or relay mode. We will have a night kit (IR)...

Got this response from WiLife: Hi Brian, Thanks for your interest in the Lukwerks Digital Surveillance System. Remote viewing is free. There are two modes for remote viewing Relay mode and Direct mode. With relay mode you are limited to 3 minutes of viewing at a time. In direct mode...

Here's a competitor to the LukWerks system based on the same technology. http://www.gigafast.com/products/product_pdf/PE872-CS.pdf From what I can tell, though, you can only have two cameras, and they both have to go to the same outlet. Bummer. Sent a message to LukWerks asking about the...

I wouldn't like to be in your situation, being taped by your neighbor. As for if the pictures can be altered, the answer is yes, just as WayneW said. To add a little more information, pretty much any amateur can alter a digital picture, but it would be obvious to the casual observer. To make...

It's my understanding that if you use those, motion detection can't be used because any interference, like a microwave being used, will cause static and trigger the motion detector on the capture card/software. I saw a tech online that described how to modify a webcam to be an IR cam. That's a...

Don't tresspass on their property, and you shouldn't have much to worry about. I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how much of a runaround they could give you in the legal system with no credible evidence, but I don't think their camera system changes the situation much if you're not doing...

Do you mean making a wired system instead of wirless...or is there a way to still make it wireless?

I started looking around for wireless IP cameras, and it's hard to find one that has IR leds and switches to night vision when it gets dark. There are plenty of non-network cameras with that feature. Am I missing something? It seems like the project I'm trying to do should be fairly common...

Three minutes is not plenty of time if one of the cameras is pointed at my baby. A big thing that I'm trying to find is a solution that allows me to access the video feed from any of the cameras from any computer within my house at any time. If this quote from the review is true, then the...

Could you elaborate on the intranet connectivity for the Swann card (or I guess any video capture) and the LukWerks system? For a capture card, is setting up web access free - you just need a broadband connection? For the LukWerks system, is it true what the site said about you having to pay...

Wow. Thanks for all the replies. I had checked back a few times and thought nobody was replying, before I noticed that my post was moved. The things that sounded most interesting were: 1. Swann 4 channel suggested by ver0776 - You didn't mention much about setting up intranet viewing. Does...

I'm pretty much a newbie at this stuff, but I am considering setting up a video surveillance system, and want to integrate it with my home wireless network. What I would like to do is have a wired connection to my main PC which acts as a DVR and also broadcasts over the intranet, so I can...

Thanks to both of you for the replies. I was afraid that the wireless would be junk, which it sounds like that's what you're saying. My wife would never approve of wires running around the house, and I'm a little hesitant about putting holes in a house I'm going to leave in a couple of years...
