    How is the picture quality? Would you be able to recognize a person from 15 ft away? What about night vision?
    I am interested in such a system myself (pure IP though), so far I've been delaying as I don't feel like spending $200+ for one decent outdoor camera (I'd need 4 or 5)

    It's acceptable enough to catch burglars. We caught one a few years ago because of this system.
    Here's a screen cap i just obtained from a remote connection to one of my bars. We are using 8 separate D-Link cheap cameras (under $100 ea). some are wired and some are wireless.




    I see the bartender Cheryl, Dick the Barber, Schnapps, and one-legged Chuck.

    those names are real, btw...

    The only other thing I think I might add at this point is to pick a system that offers easy remote access. Even nowadays, they aren't all created equal.

    Muppet, have you ever read any of G.M. Ford's Leo Waterman mysteries? If you aren't familiar with Leo, you might get a hoot out of The Bums Rush.

    Frog
    Diaper
    Crazy Kathy (Kat)
    Barton Bob
    Creeper
    Scott and Jenny (always together. always)
    Cowboy Jerry

    and on and on and on...
