I am potentially going to hire a nanny to watch my daugher for about 4-5 hours, 2x per week while my wife works. I want to wire the house with some cameras, but since I only rent, I want to use a wireless IP camera system. Ideally, it would have 4 to 6 cameras with at least one night vision camera, wireless IP connections, viewable anywhere via IP, and the ability to record the data streams to a hard drive. Does anyone have any good ideas of a relatively inexpensive system to put in place?

I've looked at the FOSCAM wireless IP camera (http://www.amazon.com/Foscam-Wireless-Camera-antennas-FI8918W/dp/B004UMN6VE/ref=sr_1_sc_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1326384639&sr=8-3-spell). I could buy 4 cameras, but I don't know how the recording works. I'd rather not have to setup a computer with their software to record the data streams. I'd rather procure an alternate DVR system that records automatically.



Answer
Sure - and one of these hidden cameras wont find it's way into your bedroom. :)

Look - VCR's are sub-standard def and they dont make inexpensive HD tape recorders. And a lot of people want to not only record - but be able to log into the home computer and see what is going on remotely. This means ... a computer.

Try checking out WOOT.COM . I occasionally see a wireless security camera system for a low price. (Look in the Community section for past woots).

Or contact your local spy-shop. They sometimes rent nanny-cams.
