Wondering what you guys are using for parallel off site DVR recording. I searched here and found some old posts but checking what's available today.
I have a situation where a contractor that gives me a decent amount of business is remodeling a rural house in the Los Angeles mountains and kids (we're assuming) are doing some vandalism. So we put in a few cameras and stashed the DVR in the attic of the garage with some boards over it, etc.
Well, the a$$holes broke in and stole the DVR and an Apple Extreme I set up so he could check the DVR footage on site. They didn't do any more damage than needed to get to the DVR (trashed a door and jamb). The place isn't drywalled and is a tinderbox if they screw around and leave anything flammable behind.
He's trying to get Time Warner to install a cable modem so then I can set up an offsite recording. As you see it has to be live offsite recording in case they steal it again, etc.
I was told that Eagle Eye Networks does something like this. I checked and gave my info and now have to wait for them to contact me.
So, what's out there?? I found older posts saying the ICRrealtime did this and possibly Digital Watchdog.

The Wirepath IP cams/encoders and NVR can do this. I don't know if it's officially supported but it works. I'm guessing it's pretty bandwidth hungry though.

I think this section, Bandwidth Requirement, in the info linked above is the most important thing to pay attention to.

Amen- tried this and got the isp in an uproar. Anything that may zip recordings, motion-based only to off site storage?

Maybe the best bet is a nuke-proof vault?.. If all else fails that is.

Get a lockable Jobsite box and chain it something. If they cut the lines, you will still have them, as they cannot get to the DVR.
