Seeking the august opinions of the gurus out there in cyberspace...
Situation:
Doorbell that doesn't ring loud enough to notify folks in basement nor in
master bedroom. Strange night incursions across private property, gate left
open to back yard, noisy neighbors across the road. Deliveries are left on
porch. Occupants are often engrossed in computer work, oblivious to the
outdoors.
Remedy sought:
[] Doorbell / motion detector linked to PC; software to "ping" users on LAN.
[] 3 - 4 Low cost B/W cameras aimed at front door, back yard, and corridor
that suspected trespassers are using; software to switch and DVR function
[] Audio input on Camera at front door; link sound with video
[] Speaker output at front door
[] PC PCI interface card, output to VCR
[] Software to run it all
Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks for your help and assistance
P.S. Am I right to presume wired cameras are superior to wireless cameras?
