How to get started setting up IP security cameras
- by dave
I have just finished renovating my house. As part of the job, I have cat6 cable run through the house, including two external plugs. All cables terminate in the same location. My rough plan is to plug two IP cameras to monitor the front and rear, run POE from a central router to the two external cameras, plug my PC into the same router and run magic software X. Any machine plugged into the router or wirelessly connection should then be able to get a live feed and alerts based on motion detection.
That's the plan, but I'm not sure how possible it is. What hardware to get and what monitoring software to get.
Has anyone does something similar? What were your experiences?
