RE: BT / Broadband Security Monitoring Product?

["fluff" <fluff@xxxxxxx>]

I'd be slightly concerned if was for a monitored alarm type thing given
they
won't give an SLA or guarantee conection on their broadband.

Sounds more like a web video server, be interesting to see what they
think
low cost is as most web enabled CCTV runs between  ?600 &
?2500/camera.

Think a good few list members can already do this, tho again probably not
at
a  low cost.

Small web servers are quite cheap now & so are webcams so shouldn't be
too
hard to knock somehting up, but how good is a cheap option going to be?

Maybe BT just has a vast stockpile of old videoconferencing gear they
never
managed to convince people to buy & this is the new marketing strategy
to
shift it all.
