Thanks Petem,

Sounds like I should investegate that service. Any idea what they
charge?

I'll save a copy of your post for their file for reference for after I
get the go-ahead to do the survey.

But ..... I wasn't thinking about using IP cameras but using these Wi
Fi cameras. I've never installed one before but I believe they have a
converter or server that converts the analog video from multiple
cameras and provides a single IP address to the network. Prior to
researching it, I don't know how they accomplish it but most of the
ones I've seen I seem to remember them saying that they are PNP. and/
or DLNA compatable.

they have a free service for wich the only drawback is to reconfirm the ip
adress by auatomatic mean software client or propely configured router) if
not done every 3 month the domain will be terminated (on my side I do it
that way cause my router wont update the adress by itself and my ip almost
never change even if its dynamic) but before they terminate the domain name
you recive a email with a link to renew the info just by clicking it from
the network to wich its assigned..

and they have a 10$ a year service on wich you dont have to renew the info
except for when the ip change and like I said before, with a simple router
properly configured or a client software on one machine its all automatic.

most router now have a place where you can program some DDNS stuf (Dynamic
Domaine Name Service)

for the wireless cams that are not wifi, but wireless you just have to
foward the ports used with the appliance (DVR) for there software to work or
it can even be just a web apps and you only need to foward port 80 to an
outside port of the network.. (watch out most internet home service block
the use of port 80 so you will have to port it to someting like 81 or 8080)
