    Hello..
    Here is the deal.. I want to amplify my WIFI signal in all the area of the terrain.
    Then install IP CAMS in different points.
    Get a Linux Dedicated Server with 500 GBS, and then Install ZONEMINDER on it and start monitoring all the IP CAMS.

    1. Anyone got a better idea for this?
    2. Anyone got a recommendation from the IP CAMS?
    3. I would like to know which could be the best ones for the Outdoor and Indoor
    4. Cheap and useful IP CAMS?
    5. Alternatives for Zoneminder?

    Thanks in advance..
    This will really help further visitors to the forum. :cool:

    +1 for dealextreme.com - both for cameras and for WiFi antennas.
    Make sure you read the DX forums and product reviews, some DX products are total winners, and some are total losers :p

    You may also want to look at PoE for powering your outdoor cameras - depending on how far from the house/building you want to position them.

    Don't tell me that you've actually made any REAL money from DX refs.

    *oink!*

    I've got enough points for 4 x 9v batteries. But yet again... "reward ran out".
    Gotta love DX, everything they do is cheap, including their affiliate program. :p

    So you do recommend me having a dedicated server with ZONEMINDER?
    The IP CAMS in DX are not supported in Linux, they run under ActiveX.. Too good to be true... Yet.
    Any other advices?
