Anyone have a simple security camera setup at their house? If so, what cameras are you using?
Had an incident last night where someone (I'm assuming kids) stole a neighbors mail box from down the street, and placed it underneath my car in the driveway... Thankfully the hummer sleeps in the garage, so it's pretty safe, but there's still my wife's daily and my bmw that get parked in the driveway. I have a corner lot, so everything is pretty out in the open.
Police officer said that they would step up nightly patrols in my area, but I'd feel better having some sort of camera overlooking my driveway. Something simple (maybe wireless IP?) that would just stream to my PC overnight.
If possible, I'd actually like 2 cameras. One overlooking my driveway, and the other overlooking my front door. I get a LOT of packages (mostly vehicle parts LOL) delivered at my doorstep during the day, and they usually sit there for a few hours until one of us gets home. Would like to know if someone steals something.
I'd prefer a wireless setup, as we have a really fast home network, with excellent dual band wireless coverage (2.4ghz and 5ghz). Also because I only plan to be in this house less than a year... Will be putting this place up for sale as soon as I find something decent with a shop building!
