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.
