we looked at something like this but for reasons we decided against it. We have chosen the Interwatch Security solution to monitor our home.

You don’t need any technical knowledge. We install the cameras, manage the network and administer the server.

We can login anytime of the day to view our property. We have three cameras installed, two external and one internal. The good thing is we have chosen the Gold package with phone alerts so should motion be detected an email is sent we also receive an SMS text message.
We can also view the villa from my works pc and my Fujitsu Siemens pocket Loox. We’ve had this type of surveillance now for around three months and so far so good.
