I will be installing a camera to monitor the kids play area remotely from the house. The camera will be installed about 8' high and 15' or so from the playset. A flood light will also be installed just below the camera for night illumination (the playset, not necessarily for the camera). The camera will be modulated to broadcast the video on the CATV network to all TVs. And I have RG6Q run to the camera location, with some 22g for power.
I can buy through a local wholesale distributor, and these are the brands they carry: Lorex, LG, Mace, Speco, Bosch, Clover, and NetMedia.
But I'm so confused as to what camera to buy.

- What should I be looking for, spec wise?
- What is a Varifocal lens?
- How low a LUX should I need?
- Is a camera that can pan/tilt worth the extra money?
