Hi Brain,
Yes, I am still testing this. I did find a way to
mount the cam near the doorway but internally, facing
the door. There is a porch and I expect to leave a
porch light on 24/7, esp. if it will help prevent
'false' photos.
The length of the cable seems sufficient. I was
thinking about using a serial extension cable, but
none available locally and so far not strictly nec.
X.10 is interesting, thanks, but I don't have a
wireless card for the 3400. Plus I was hoping to set
up some means of dialing in via long distance and
managing the set-up (Connectix grayscale cam,
DigitalRadar SW, and the 3400 with OS 8.6).
Details to follow,
George
