Hi list, I'm thinking in installing some cameras in my private home, I have been looking for solutions, my concern is that I wish to be able to look the videos from outside the house and I'm a little paranoid about the quality of the software that the different vendors use. I have seen clusters of camaras that only work over ActiveX... I know that is a little off-topic but maybe someone knows about a good brand of cameras. Of-course one can always set a VPN tunnel trough OpenBSD for the security matter, OpenVPN works on Android so is easy to access from a smartphone. But I would prefer to have a single secure service running that adding a layer of complexity with the VPN.
I'm looking for: - Not overpriced cameras. - They don't need to be "external cameras", they will be covered under a roof. - I need to set at least 4, so I need them to be accessible from a single platform. - Android / Browser friendly (not only IE plz...) - WiFi is not needed, I have a 12v supply and Ethernet connections for each camera. - Good video quality but I'm not looking for anything super great... - the ability to centralize recording and access to view the cameras is a must. Again, sorry for the off-topic but were would I find a better place to ask about surveillance and security ? :D Cheers and happy new year. Elias.
