[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1016444, member: 52972"] Hugh, I would recommend buying a cheaper one to play with. They come with basic software and see how you like it. They are not hard to connect and configure to your WiFi network. It is more complicated to configure them so you can monitor them over the internet or cellphone. That involves port forwarding on your router and you have to have a host site to pickup the camera feeds off the internet. Some cameras will provide you with a host site, however many your router may also offer a free host site for video camera feeds. I have a D-Link router and they offer free service from DynDNS.com but there are others. ...its hard to find the info on the router firmware, but if they offer the service it's probably hidden somewhere in the various router setup screens or help screens. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
