All, I have been tasked with making a recommendation for a web cam that will monitor the parking lot at $WORK, for weather purposes, not surveillance - some folks want to be able to check on snow accumulation before leaving the house. Thus, I don't need to do TPZ or stream video, but do need a picture of the parking lot around once a minute or so. Don't need sound, either.
There are a myriad of these cams, both indoor and outdoor. Has anyone done something similar, and have a recommendation? Also, any idea on cost for a professional to run power/ethernet for outside installation? That'll be distance-sensitive, I know, and also vary according to site conditions, but some sort of rough estimate would be useful, if you have them would be appreciated. This cam has been recommended on another list - anyone have experience with it? http://www.provantage.com/trendnet-tv-ip501p~7TDW9021.htm Thanks, Kurt
