Heh heh heh ..... No offense taken.

The fact that the clients don't want to actually record anything and
they live right next door ........ is the reason I thought of a Wi Fi
camera system.  I've never used one so I thought I ask here.

I can set up a DVR with no problem.   Well .... sometimes port
forwarding gives me a problem because I don't do many CCTV systems,
but muddling through and a call to tech support usually gets me
through it. I can do Linksys pretty good now but every once in awhile
I'll get someone who's got a Tonka Toy router and no directions, setup
disk or password . I've even gone out to Office Depot and contributed
a Linksys router to the job, so I could get the fricking job done.
It's cheaper to spend the $69.00 for the new router than futz around
with the Tonka Toy for 2 hours.
