Installing CCTV

[apollo]

Hi Guys

Anybody have experience in installing a Close Circuit TV (CCTV) in the house?

Intend to install them so that we can monitor the kids via internet connection while in the office.

Anybody can advise?

Thanks.

Hi, I'm no expert in this field but I've done some research as I'm amazed with this technology.

Not too sure if SingTel still offers this service or not. I remembered quite sometime back, they offered this as part of their internet services. This is sufficient if you just want to monitor home from the internet.

Alternatively, you may buy, install & configure a more advanced system (with higher starting cost but better quality). Example of such a system is Dlink internet camera. Link as follows: http://www.dlink.com.sg/products/category.asp?cid=10. Linksys also have the similar product, which can be found at www.linksys.com.sg

Do take note that this option requires you to have a internet router at home & involved quite a number of configurations to harden the system (to allow you to view & not allowing others to intrude your home network). Once configured, all you need is a web browser to start monitoring your home.

Hope this shed some light for you.

Hi Lau

Thanks for the info.

Been told by others about it being offered by Singtel.

Will try to make a trip down one of these day.
