Default Re: Video Monitoring system

I recently added video camera into both of out theatre for our productions of House & Garden I'll look at the cams tomorrow for model numbers. We went with a wired system. It's cat5 cheap as can be. The cams plug right into our network and have built in webservers, you basically point your browser at it, and viola'. the biggest disadvantage would be if your facility is not already wired for network distro, the other draw back being you need a computer to use as the monitor. However if you are only using the pc for a video monitr you can use just about any POS comp you might have lying around, even a boat anchor, opps I mean IMac.
