Erron S. 0 Posted October 29, 2008 It sounds to me that a megapixel camera would be the way to go. Of course it have to be an IP based camera. Take a look at companies such as IQEye and Arecont. Erron S. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwi 0 Posted October 29, 2008 This one is an IQEye http://taranakivista.gotdns.com/still.html?ds=2?width=1216?height=640?mode=1?from=appletvid.html StarDot is another IP camera vendor. How are you planning to recover the images? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crz 0 Posted October 30, 2008 Was thinking of one of those boxes that use normal cctv cameras and make them avaliable over networks or worst case scenario it can be used through the dvr. We have plenty of cable RG59 shotgun, and connectors so it would make sence to have a camera that uses this type of cable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your camera choice should be based on the resolution and frame rate you need, less so on having suitable cable available! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
