Thanks for the advice.
I certainly need reliability but if it goes down for a few hours because of
a power outage I can live with that. I just need to ensure it all reboots
appropriately once the power comes back on.
the cameras will be no problem as will the modem and the router, the
only thing that could be a problem would be a DVR, if you are using
one. You might want to invest in some home automation as well, so you
can turn the power off, and on, like it would be if it were
unplugged, if you need to reset a particular device. Just rebooting
is not allways enough.
The most important thing for me is a reliable secure internet stream as I
will only ever be utilizing it via a remote session in Seattle.
The modem and router will be the big issue there. I would check user
experience over time on the cameras you want to use.
I don't want something that will die quickly when I am away.
I don't think anything name brand (inside), even X10, would do that
but if you aren't going to heat the house I would ask the component
manufactures about those temperatures.
