I stumbled my way into an account today that will pretty much keep me gainfully employed for a few years (literally...LOL)...
This account is one of the mega churches here in Houston, who has 3 thrift shops, corporate offices, and a couple of sanctuaries...
One of the first things they want to do is to hook up security cameras in the thrift shops (BTDT), but they want to be able to watch the cameras from the pastor's home, 50 miles away... 3-4 cameras per store...
Anyone have hardware recommendations to get this done?
then, there's the Crestron system they'll be needing to control the HVAC and lighting in the santuary....

We can do it my way, or we can do it my way while I yell. The choice is yours. |

Panasonic and Sony both make an IP enabled camera that can pan and zoom.
That's part one of the equation.
Part two of the equation I'm a little fuzzy on. One way you could do it is set up a client/server computer network. Unfortunately it would require windows server software, preferably Win2k. Then you would setup a Virtual Private Network with the Pastor's computer a member of the network. This would allow his computer to remotely access his network and thus his cameras over the internet.
This solution is neither cheap nor easy. But I don't think anything else will be either....
However, I think you can do this with crestron hardware and take the server out of the equation. I would love to know if this is possible or if there is another way.

I don't thing you'll EVER stream full motion real time video. Actually I know you won't. The best you can do is 30 FPS. Now, if you want to dedicate an ISDN line and use video conferencing, the Polycom VS4000 or ViewStation FX is the answer. That is real time video, and full duplex audio. But, each site needs a box and a dedicated ISDN line. YOu can have control of each others cameras if you do it properly.

I don't think this is what your asking...maximum of 30 FPS. I wouldn't call that real-time.
Plus, max of five viewers, now, if you only need one viewer, and dont need TRUE real time video. It would probably work very nicely.
Currently there is technology to stream 30 FPS to the 'net. The only limit on viewers is the size of your pipe.

Heres a review of 4 cheaper cameras. When your talking TCP/IP you always need to define "Realtime". [Link: www6.tomshardware.com]
