RE: BT / Broadband Security Monitoring Product?

["Matthew J Keay" <m@xxxxxxx>]

Webcam.. =A340 - some free software.... Done :P

Or low cost cctv (max =A340) tv capture card (=A3?) - same free software -<= BR> done again (streaming or single event type triggers).

It's not multicam/X hrs recording but it works cheaply for "whos at th= e
door" type applications & stuff.

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<= BR> 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.
