I have a friend who owns 2 small businesses, one here in town, and one a few hundred miles away.


He wants to hookup a webcam at both locations, so employs can see eachother and customers for security reasons. I was thinking about gettin 2 high end usb webcams, and just having them both run netmeeting 24/7....


I have 0 experience in ethernet webcams, how easy are they to set up?

I was thinking about purchasing this one.

Basically, is not just plugging the cam into a free port on your router, and its fairly automatic? How does one view it remotely though? bah!

Well I think it uses a web interface and you connect to it buy typeing its IP addy in. I am not sure because I have never used one.

Maybe try asking any stores around you that sell them. I know around me theres this spy store thats basically a security store. They got all types of sercurity cameras and network cameras and more. Maybe see if there is a shop like that by you that sells them?
