Ian,

Which box did you get, and what's the quality like?
I ask because my mother-in-law is keen on getting one of these for her
infants class

thanks,

Dave

Subject: [ukha_d] Network video server for cameras


For Christmas, I got my wife a birdbox with a built-in colour camera
and microphone. Well happy!

It's all fitted and working via the LCD in the kitchen. So now she's
asking -
1) Can we get more cameras?
2) Can we do PIP and quad with cameras and TV?
3) Can she see video+audio via our web site?

Quads with audio and Ir control seem rare.
Anything with a network socket seems expensive.

So, it's either a cheap 4-port Video Server of dubious quality from
eBay (such as item - 8745736807) or I get a video+audio capture card
and try and build my own using Linux.

There is also eBay item - 8744193831
Looks good from the manual, but these things usually do until you start
using them ...

Thoughts?
