The current edition of PC PRO magazine (March 2008) has a good article on using webcams / IP cameras for home CCTV. Well worth a read.

I'm impressed with chuckles1066 setup!

if you have multi cameras, then non IP cameras are the way to go.
Just do the math: horizontal resolution x vertical resolution x number of frames per second x number of colours and this will give you your data size. Built in JPG will squeeze it down somewhat.

Th question that on a 100Meg switch you get around 4 cameras (decent pictures and colours. With the co-axial cabled cameras on controller boards that fit PC, you can easily get 64 hight quality cameras per pc - so the camera man at work told me.

The non ip cameras are also cheaper and have good quality pictures. Apparently the compression rate is better too.

Someone I know of has a house in Florida with 4 cameras on motion detection. When recording IP mode the capture was huge - 2gb per day (not sure per camera or for the four cameras) (now every day at a certain time the daily movement file is sent to the us of about 200Mb.

Initial city link should have trackers on their vehicles showing where they are and where they have been.

Apparently they don't. Spoke to them just now and asked because they're now going to charge the retailer extra for 2 failed deliveries. So I've got no way of proving that they didn't attempt delivery or where they were at a particular time.

It could be him. It's not unlikely as we come under the same depot. I've just put the whole thing on the vent board.

Thanks for trying. The only logical explanation is that he couldn't be arsed getting out in the rain and assumed noone here because there were no cars on the drive. And everything since then is to cover himself in case there was (e.g. recording colour of door etc).
