Security cameras

[vesan87]

I'm having a heck of a time finding the right security camera for my application. Anyone on here knowledgeable on this subject? I already have a laptop that I will connect it to. (So I'll need software as-well) It will be indoors. I would rather have it wired as opposed to wireless. I don't think I need the "night vision" option and I don't want a microphone. I wan't to face it out of a window to overlook my driveway. Thanks in advance for any help.

You might try looking here. These programs use your webcam as a security camera.

Fry's is a good place to get one. Look for one that has a motion activated feature, that way you're not going through hours of nothing. Most of the DIY kits will come with the software for the computer.

My company got a system from here and it works very well, but the system we got requires a video capture card.

i have done this before. it is much easier (atleast for night time use) if it is outside. i know you dont want night vision, but if your watching your driveway i would strongly recomend reconsidering.

i do not know why you are looking, but i have the feeling its to catch someone either giving you issues now or you just want to keep an eye out. i would recomend getting one with the night vision (also widens your selection a great bit)

back to why i say its hard inside. if the lens is not mounted right up against the glass it will pick up glare and bounce it back into the camera lens making it pointless to see whats going on.

as others have said, Fry's is a good place to look as they have many many cameras and dvr's and programs to run it on a pc.
