What’s the best way to set up a home exterior security camera system?
I want to put up a camera (with night vision) on the front of my house, pointed at the road to record nighttime activities.
I want to record the video onto my computer.
I have several questions:
1. What’s an effective and cheap way to do this?
2. What kind of camera should I look for? I’m thinking possibly using a standard Logitech webcam. Good idea?
3. What software do I use to receive the video & record it?
Thanks in advance.
Effective… get a decent quality video camera. Cheap, try using a webcam (quality of picture leaves much to be desired).
Best suggestion is to talk to a local electronics store. They will know how to set it up and best hardware to use.
Logitech webcam no good at handling moving pictures. Frame rates way too slow.
You might also want to look for issues of Canadian Security Magazine. Always good suggestions in there for home & business security at semi-affordable prices.
When you get the cam, it will supply you with a very basic vid record software. Try going to google ask looking up video recording software…
