fitz 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Greetings, I am building a house and would like to monitor the construction remotely. I have Comcast Internet at the Lot (30 Mbit). I have a couple of Arecont AV8185DN cameras. I also have Comcast at my house that is 50 Mbit. Can anyone advise on best options to set this up, I am thinking of below: Option 1: Setup Cameras, ispyconnect Server , firewall, POE switch, etc on site. and have that video streamed to the ispy site, that site would in turn send me alerts if a tresspasser sets off the motion detection. Option 2: Setup just the camers, Firewall and poe switch on site. Then have a server at my house connect to the cammeras via NAT's on the firewall at the construction site. In this case I would not need to send the video to ispy and pay the subscription fees. Questions: 1. Does either approach make more sense than the other? 2. I am having trouble getting iSpy Connect to work with the AV8185, is there a better software? 3. Does anyone know of a remote monitoring service besides iSpy connect? 4. Maybe I should use Exacq or Milestone? (I have no experience with either) thanks in advance -Fitz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
