    Morning all,
    A buddy was broken into last night.

    I've had some success in the past with an ip camera in catching someone coming into the house but now I want something a little more reputable.

    I'm thinking of an ip camera setup that will record all motion triggered etc to a central storage device that will also email me the video clip or snapshot of the photos when motion is detected.

    What's out there on the market? I'd sooner have this than eircom as I will get instant notification of the movement and can then ring the guards myself. Also, if it would send SMS messages that would be an extra bonus for me as sometimes the Internet may go down.

    I recall Maplin having something like this but interested to know what you guys are using.


    Cheers

    One or two of these around the house would be no harm if you are worried about the internet going down.

    How about software based system -
    I have this installed at home: http://www.ispyconnect.com/
    Seems to handle most IP cameras (and web cams) so can be cheap setup.

    Does all the motion detection/emailing snapshots and can access the cameras via mobile browser.

    Not really if the sim is registered on line. By doing this you can check credit plus top it up without having to take the sim out of the unit.
