Title: I need advice setting up a Single Camera WiFi CCTV System
Post by: BriansBrain on 19.12.2023, 15:49
Afternoon  ;)

I need advice on setting up a Single Camera WiFi CCTV System.

I have not ordered a camera yet this is why I'm asking for advice.

I need a Camera to point at Brian's Transmitter / Solar Rack
Brian's TX & Solar Shelves - 23-09-2023.JPG
so I can monitor the Meters and Leds from downstairs in the Studio.

The areas is covered by a hardly used WiFi from the Fibre Optic Internet Router.
I would like to Live Monitor the Camera (no recording required) on the Workstation PC
Operating System is Windows 7 32bit.
Workstation is already connected to the Network Router (cable).

So what Camera would you suggest and what Program(s) would I require  :)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions  :thumbsup

That's a difficult question with regards to what it has to record and I'm not sure how they would respond to the LEDs. I'm not sure if 1080 or 4K would be OK to use

If you were in the UK then you could order from Amazon and if no good return it and no cost but from where you are GC it might make it a little more difficult.

I've put up 4 cameras for friends this year but again I don't know how they respond to LEDs.

The Program to use would be OBS studio (https://obsproject.com/), it's open source and free to download and use. It's the same program I use to send to YouTube for the bird box.

Some CCTV manufacturers use their own software but you may still be able to use OBS as long as it can see the IP of the camera
