Browse Forums Home Theatre & Automation 1 Nov 12, 2011 3:56 pm Our Strata plan is considering installing some security cameras in the common areas of our building to enhance the security of our building. Would be approximately 6 cameras, mainly located at the front door, garage area and lift area. Ideal setup would be wired/wireless IP cameras that only record on motion and store the video in a central storage location such as a NAS or better yet, in the cloud. In terms of reviewing the video; to limit "nosey parkers" on the committee viewing everyone's movements; access to view the videos should be protected by username and password. Ideally to, if someone logs in to review the video, they must enter a blurb as to why they are viewing the video. E.g. "Viewing 6/11/2011 to see who damaged front door". This should then make people more accountable for what they are vieiwing and it will also make it obvious by viewing logs if Mr "nosey parker" is logging in twice a day to view everyone's activities. So can anyone suggest how we can implement this? Should the building invest in some hardware such as a switch, NAS and the IP cameras? Or can we just purchase the cameras and pay for an ADSL connection to store the video in the cloud? Or can we just piggy back of some of the Committee members existing ADSL connections and there Wi-Fi links? Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.
