    Ok so what is the plan? Do you want this just so you can view it in house or do you want it streamed on the web?

    There would be no problems having one in the run as long as you bought a weather proof camera or put it in an enclosure.

    Ok Bare with me.

    I have a 2 story hutch, so one on each level, one in the hutch looking out into the run and one in the run.

    Ok there are a few options you can go for but probably a bit in depth for here, however have a look at this site and have a proper read of it all and come back with any questions :-)

    Hi, Thanks for that, it was good, really helpful.

    I think I will start off with two cameras, to begin with

    I was thinking of using this

    internet is already set up, I was going to use the router/modem method.

    I Was thinking of using this camera

    As it looks more complete than the ones from Hong Kong.

    Although I am open to suggestions.

    Questions,

    Would I need to buy two seperate camera set ups ^^^ or could I buy one with an extra camera? would I need two seperate computers/modems to run two different cameras?

    Would it be easy to add more cameras at a later date

    Thank you

    The only limit of cameras per pc is the number of inputs you have for it, I think the wintv set up will only have on s-video in so you would either need extra cards or something like this which would let you attach 4 cameras. you can get ones with more ports.

    As for buying the wireless setup I believe with that kind of kit you need matching number of cameras and receivers.
