IP Camera Advice

TechnoFreek

Hi,

Can ip cameras be set up indoors to point through a window on to the front garden.

If so can anyone recommend a cheap camera. Need decent quality image to avoid any ambiguity about what was captured. Primarily will be used during daylight hours.

thanks

Not trying to be smart, but is there a reason you cannot mount it outside on the facia and soffit to do the same job?

Will you be needing recording? Check out the Ubiquiti AirCam range, professional quality camera at low prices. The software can be installed on any PC on the network.

The problem with putting it inside is that you need a light on the garden at night to see anything. If you try to enable night vision behind a glass it will glare and you ll see nada. Putting it outside is much better solution. For use in the daylight any camera would be good enough, you can pick a 720p one for 50quid on eBay.

Thanks guys. It will only be for daytime use while I try figure out who's dog keeps fouling my garden! No need for a permanent placement.

I presume any supplied recording software can add a time stamp?

If it's just for that you can do that with a web cam and software on your PC

district court judge and also a dog warden or the dspca who are enpowered by the minister for the enviroment . you need to inform the dogs owner 1st though that you are taking action against him or her .

Since the dog and the dogs food are both his property, that would make anything that comes out of the dog his property as well, so I'd be inclined to keep hold of it for a while until you have a suitable amount before returning it to its rightful owner.

How you choose to deliver it is entirely up to you of course.
