My house is monitored by Alert Alarm.. I asked Alert Alarm about installing a camera system, but they wanted an amount so high that I must warn you, seeing it in print might adversely affect your heart. Here it comes: $7,000!?!! --yeah right!. I recall a thread where someone installed a camera system, but with the search function down, I can’t find it. What I would like to do is install an exterior camera system that permits me to monitor the house remotely on the internet, partly for enhanced security and partly because I want to be virtually there since I am actually not there (and someone else is). Anyone know of such a thing? How would it connect to the internet? Would I have to have a COMPUTER in the house somewhere, or could I get by with a router or something? Does anyone install these things?
