Hi fellow S2Kers... I have two warehouses which I'd like to monitor activity from my laptop, can someone recommend some software or programs I could buy? Ideally I'd like to install these cc cameras in the warehouse and be able to look in from my laptop or anywhere I go. Thanks in advance!!!

You could install one of those security cameras that have their own web engine built into them. You could then connect to them via IP.

Vu, how easy is it to install something like this?

I don't have any personal experience with them, though I was going to buy a few of the pan/tilt/zoom ones for a data center that I ran before the dot com bust. I don't imagine it would be difficult to setup. Just remember that if you want to be able to view them from outside the local network, you need either a way to VPN into the network, setup a NAT through the firewall, or put them out directly on the Internet.

Here is a nice review I found.

Thanks Vu, so I just hook up one end of a cable to the Axis 211A and the other end to my Linksys router and I'm done? What else am I missing?

try looking at Border Collie solution too for a small install, they are local in Burlingame.... it's linux based. Axis is good too.

If you need something big like 25 or more cams, let me know... i can sell you a Verint/Nextive solution.
