Security Wireless IP Camera Questionj

[AnNiMosSiTY]

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right forum but I have a friend with a restuarant that would like to have some security cameras installed and be able to look at them from home when he would like to.

I dont know much about them but the restaurant isnt that big and needs 10 cameras 2 of them would need to be able to have somewhat night vision. I figured wireless ip cameras would be a good solution. Right now the place is half ass wired with cameras that go to a little TV in the back but I dont think its possible for him to view the current setup through home.


Does anyone here have experience with this kind of equipment and could recommend some decent wireless solutions? We would like to stay as cheap as possible, but will fork out the cash if needed.

yeah wireless camera's would work.. been a while since ive setup a remote access system so ill have to do some googling see what software there is out for that kind of stuff now..

but even the cheapo wireless camera's they sell at Fry's electronics work for that.. i currently use 4 of them on my house but i cant remember what brand they are..

also if the restaurant has low lighting during night(eg. they dont turn all the lights out) then black and white camera's are a better choice.. but if he has all the lights shut off at night then night vision cameras are the better choice..
im kind of surprised he would need 10 camera's if its a small restaurant.. if hes trying to put a camera on every corner of the room he may want to look into wide angle lense camera's that give a 90-180 degree field of view.. should cut down on the amount of camera's he needs..
