RIPE 0 Posted January 4, 2016 Anyone have any ideas for connecting cameras to an old Gateway model MA6 running Windows 7 Ultimate? It networks good and I can see it with Teamviewer. Was wondering how to connect a couple of cameras to it to watch a condo while I'm gone. Or if that is even a good idea. Thanks for any ideas. Hopefully, some cheap cameras will work.

Sure, you can buy two cheap cameras off of Amazon, buy two bullet Reolink IP cameras, $79ea. They are POE enabled, but they also come with cord you plug into the wall AC. A $50 POE switch would make them a little more portable, you would only need the cat5/cat6 cable from your router to the cameras. These reolink come with a cd with a software that lets you view the cameras, set them up to record, scheduled record or motion. Either way, for under $200 you can connect the cameras to your router and use teamviewer to view your laptop (when you are remote). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longstory 0 Posted January 26, 2016 What's your definition to " cheap " ? Under $100 or $50 ? Please be careful , not all cheap cameras have good quality , before buying cameras , do some research about cameras or read the reviews carefully . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeromephone 6 Posted January 30, 2016 If the condo is worth monitoring why not get the most reliable system you can afford ? New 4 camera nvrs or DVRs are pretty cheap and you can get remote viewing etc all in one package. I am guessing someone on this forum can get you some links to lower cost equipment.
