Hello,
I am looking for simple image uploads to an ftp server or service with notifications.
I want to stay under $200 per camera. If my simple needs can be met under $100 per all the better.
We have iPhones, but I am a PC guy and prefer to use an MS PC to setup and receive notifications on and to view the images on.
I live in the country and no one is home all day. This is of course for personal security.
I have a 1 meg connection and that's all that I can get. I have no need for video or audio. I do want quality images though.
I prefer wireless cameras to avoid having to run ethernet cables. I have electricity already at each location I will place a camera.
My eventual hope depends entirely on the costs, as I must be able to afford it. I'd like one camera inside and four cameras outside under my covered porches. No pan or tilt is necessary. My hope is that someone knows of cameras with no frills that I can afford that take reasonable resolution photos via motion sensing and upload them to a server that is reasonable secure and notify me.
My place is fenced, gated and posted. I simply want to know if anyone breaches and is mucking about my home while I am at work, as no one can legally be on my porch or in my home. Images must be of quality high enough to identify anyone that might trespass. Porches are straight shots 30 feet to 50 feet long. I'm going on the notion that they will be unaware there are cameras and will be photographed before they have a chance to cover up or disable the cameras.
Thank you all. My eyes are crossed from reading on and off over the past year and I have only scratched the surface of this topic and have no idea of what camera might suit my needs best. Some hands on experienced feedback will be golden.
