question about security cameras ?

bindudhindsa · 03-05-2009, 08:55 AM

Okay here is my question? I want to connect 4 security cameras on my store. Is it possible if I can skip my DVR (digital video recorder) device? Is there any way I can attach all 4 cameras with a router and watch it on my home computer. My concern is I don’t want to record everything and those DVR devices are pretty expensive and need too much space and wires for its installation. I want to keep my budget low so please any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

You might want to check out some of those IP cameras. They do not use a DVR. I had a Linksys model a few years back that I can record to my computer remotely, but the quality wasn't great so I sold it. I primarily used it at home to keep an eye on the dogs.
