Just to add my 2 cents.... I have been using D-Link DCS900W cameras for a while now. I can tell you that there are definite pluses and minuses to each option. Being IP-based and from a well known manufacturer, EVERY software program I have used has the DCS900 information already programmed...

I have a program called "Printkey2000" that does that... it also adds lots of functionality to the "print screen" key that is rarely used on your keyboard a quick search on Google shows that it's still free and still less than 1Mb

I have full motion video with motion activation and it works great. I am considering running CAT 5 up to the cameras while wiring my alarm system in an effort to tie up less bandwidth on my wireless router, but everything works flawlessly as it is.

don't rule out wireless webcams. I realize they are not the best cameras, but I have several D-Link wireless cameras around the house and an old laptop running as a DVR My website allows direct viewing of the cameras (or you can go to the camera's built-in web page), using Windows' built-in...

it sounds as though you have 2 routers on your network? You definitely want a router connected directly to your modem, from there you are pretty much free to do whatever you want. If you have two routers, I would put the hard-wired router near the modem and then you can put the wireless one at...

keeping this as non-technical as possible... A switch or a hub is something you would use on your LAN (local area network) to connect the comptuers in your home or office together to allow network printing, internet and file sharing, etc. A SWITCH is more efficient as is it basically sends...

I just tried my home address and it works fine. ------------------------------------------------------ Can any of you access: http://www.dyndns.com ? yes, working fine How about: http://jrfuda.dyndns.org:8245/stat ? brings up a username/password prompt

Adding my $.02 Adding the ability to host a web site would be great. Doesn't seem too hard since it already does this to a limited extent anyway. If you are talking about adding a hard drive as a music server, it should probably have UPNP support so that items such as the Omnifi can connect...

Thanks for the info and quick response "post-wiring" my new house right now and will probably have questions once the hardware install begins I have installed my fair share of alarms in the past, but technology has definitely come a long way since since I did my last install about 10 years ago

I was wondering if anyone can confirm that the new keypads will be compatible with the EZ8 and not just a "high-end" option for the Gold? I am likely to purchase my system in the near future, but neither my wife nor I care for the look of the current keypad, but i also don't think I have a need...
