My boss wants to monitor a warehouse with 4 network cameras.
Can this be done with cheap ip cameras?
Can all the cameras be networked to one computer? I know that they can all be on one network, but software that will record all four simultaneously. Again a concern to stream over the internet.
Should I avoid having them stream over the internet (by having the info stored on a local network computer)?
Software suggestions? Motion sensing (only record when motion detected)
Anything I haven't thought of?
Thanks.
Robert

Tell him to stop being so tight and contract in a local security installer 
But, yes, it can be done!

Hi there,
I guess you have a limited budget. No matter what IP cameras you are going to choose, you should have a look on blue iris as local recording software. it supports up to 25 cameras and provides you with a web interface, which you can use to watch live stream and recordings remotely.
I made good experiance with y-cam knight and black cameras (no ptz/zoom though) and I can give you access to a guest account on my surveillance system if you would like to check if that might fit your needs.
just leave me a note
Dwayne

Hi,
I can recommend C-MOR Video http://www.c-mor.us
Its a server based solution, but in-expensive.
Motion detection is important, but also where you place the cameras to see what you expect to see. This is not clear in all cases.
C-MOR comes with PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) support and has a great video "finding szenes overview". The recommendations C-MOR made worked out great for me!
Mike

It is always good to check network bandwidth and HDD storage space aswell using for example ip video design tool.
Also It would be good to check the field of view (FOV) of selected cheap cameras.
You can use the same IP video design tool to calculate FOV and lens focal length.

You should check surveillance software yourself. You can find a list here. Most of surveillance software vendors offer demo-versions download.
Also I wouldn't recommend to put cheap cameras in places with low-ligth conditions. If you have such places put cameras with normal lens and low F number, like F1.0 or F1.4
