Wireless DIY Video / Web Cam with motion detector: Recommendations?

[niet]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a wire-less video cam, (colour and perhaps night vision) which has motion detect and can be connected to a computer for home surveillance?

Doesn't have to be too sophisticated or expensive, (£100 - £200 maximum)

Just need it for monitoring a room in my house when I'm away and possibly be able to transmit video and record to my PC or possibly send to an e-mail address when I'm away.

Thanks in advance

there's wireless cams and there's wireless cams, which do you require?

This requires a PC capture card installed in computer.

there's the true wireless cams but you would be hard pushed to find one with infared night time monitoring at £200. with these webcams they only work with internet explorer.

Here's a review site.

Does it have to be wireless? These are quite good if you can run a cat 5 cable or add a wireless bridge.

The problem with these things on eBay is they are frequently illegal (in the UK) 1.2GHz radio. If it doesn't say its 2.4GHz then it is probably 1.2GHz and could get you fined as well as getting the equipment consficated.

There is an allocation at 1.394 Ghz for CCTV applications......

[dennis]

But you have to have a license.

1.2G is illegal. 2.4G is unlicensed.

[dennis]

Sorry. It is unlicensed as long as you don't cause interference.

[tony sayer]

No, 1.394 Ghz is licence exempt with a 500 mW ERP....

Correct...

Will probably go for a Panasonic BLC10 or BLC30
