IP Camera's are an unnecessary expense. Use normal co-ax cable based camera's, and buy cabling that has 2 cables for power attached to the co-ax cable.

I opted to run everything over cat5! Video across 1 pair, Power (12v) across another pair... Works very well... The longest run I have is about 50m.

And IP cameras don't use the Watec CCD lenses. http://www.merseyside.police.uk/html/news/news/may/cd21-05b-police.htm
shows a UAV that uses a Watec 0.003lux camera that can see in very low light conditions. Using high power Infrared leds driven by PWM you can have
night vision over 200m. See this link http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/CctvCameras for the SA distributor of the Watec camera. Eagle CCTV don't sell the Watec brand. And only the Watec's have this low lux value. But at 0.003 you don't have color only B/W. You can't go below 0.003lux for CCTV applications because it smears the image. Extremely low lux values are used in http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/AstronomyCameras

Here is another idea: Connect a http://www.cmucam.org/ 115kbs serial camera CMOS to a lemosint.com Zigbee 2.4ghz modem that uses the AT command set from

is there no safe place to hide from you captain?

 

[Ricard]

hmm.. oh captain - all that lux makes you smell so good.. so soft and supple. Your knowledge on everything worldly is the lumens to my path.

Do you give up?

 

[Moederloos]

oh captain, my captain, our sacred thread is bust
the posts have weathered every storm, the peace we sought is done...

CaptainIdiot link spamming and playing on wikia again? It must be a day ending in 'y'.

 

[shadow_man]

Oh god the captain, what have I done... Anyhow Im wondering how i'd power the cameras them needing to be like 20 meters or so away from the pc that I'd use for this and in the garden etc.

Will look at the links provided etc, thanks for the help.

^^^^

Just chop the jack of the power adapter - wire up negative to one pair, wire up positive to the other pair, and use the remaining two pairs for your ethernet/video signal - depending on whether u go for ip cams / analogue cams!
