HOW to setup multiple CAMs for surveillance?
Hei,
As we are often away we would like to protect our house with some CAM's. We installed one, using motion detection software from i-Catcher. (i-Catcher can handle multiple CAMs) Problem is however USB, we feel we can't install camera's where we would like to have them, since the distances are too large. One can't put PC's all over the house isn't it. What we would like to have is something like http://www.icepick.com/ thanks, eppie |

You can try one of our USB extension kits to extend the distance.
http://www.pantiltcam.com/TCamWeb/usbkits.htm We also have a wireless version in the works. If you join our mailing list from the bottom of any page on http://www.trackercam.com you will be notified when this is available. Hope this helps. wrote in message ...

You may want to look at Xanboo, http://www.xanboo.com. The proprietary
wireless equipment is very inexpensive but you have to subscribe to their service at $10US a month. It's primarily sold by installers now but I have found one who will sell the components. I suspect I may use their system for my new home. There are other wireless cameras available from D-Link & Panasonic among others. Jim "ep" wrote in message ...
