Janet J asked:


I was thinking about getting a nanny camera but need to know if I can hook it up to the internet and watch it while I’m at work. Do you have any suggestions.

CCTV Guide Says:
First of all you need a high speed internet connection at your home and on the PC at your work. This enables you to see the video in almost real time. What this means is that the video will be streaming and will not look choppy.

Next is to decide how many cameras you are going to be installing. You can purchase a single camera digital video recorder but we recommend getting one that can record up to 4 at the same time. It may cost more up front but in the long run it will keep you from spending the money to upgrade in the future.

Finally you need to decide what type of nanny camera you will be using. You should pick a style like a clock radio or something similiar. Stay away from those that are hidden in stuffed animals or books. Nanny cams need to be powered and you want a hidden camera that doesn’t look out of place plugged into an electrical outlet

USB DIGITAL VIDEO SYSTEM

You could use a product like to one above which is connected to your home computer or a digital video recorder like this one that connects directly to the internet modem or router. When you record video it requires a large amount of hard drive space so we prefer not using a PC to record onto.
