Can you recommend a great home security camera system?

I would like to be able to hook it up to my computer system through my wireless network. Anything affordable out there?

“Affordable” means different things to different people.
All the IP or Network cameras will do what you want – remember, wireless is not totally accurate. The camera still needs a wire for power.
Do you need color? Night vision? How far does the night vision need to be?
Because the cams are on your LAN, they get assigned an IP address and you get to them through a browser on your computer. There is no “system” – it just depends if you want the computer to record the camera activities. IP cameras are typically more expensive than the analog cameras.
Another method is to get the wireless 2.4 GHz analog cameras and feed the video into a multi-channel DVR like=-45940&pType=pDisplay
Since the DVR would get assigned an IP address, then you access the DVR – not the individual cameras. Some of the DVRs require you to buy a hard drive, too – 250 gig or 500 gig HDDs are pretty cheap…

I haven’t purchased a security camera yet, but we are looking into them and found some great stuff at They have everything you could ever want at good prices. So far we have just purchased some child safety equipment.
