    trying to understand the concepts

    Hi, completely new to this and my parents have decided they want cctv for their campsite. so... they initially only want one camera but i could see potentially they could want a couple more in the future they have broadband wireless ethernet available they do want the camera to work outside, however it neednt have its own light as we have sensor lights that illuminate the areas that need recording i keep being pointed toward axis being good cameras but i dont really understand how it all works one issue is we dont have an available "server", and what constitutes a server, what spec should it be and does it have to be "always on" or is there some form of cache built into the cameras? (would any dedicated dell pc do? or does it have to be server spec) i would have thought that IP cameras are the way forward but i appreciate there are other methods (altho i dont understand them!!) eg dvr and vhs just after some pointers really as i know they dont want to spend the earth but would like to see some options thanks for the pointers!!
