I have decided that I would like to install a (3) wired camera system near the doors of my home. I have the cameras picked out, but I was hoping I could get some assistance going over my pending install.
My plan was to buy and install Cat6 cable through the attic to the 3 cameras (this supplies power and video correct?). I was hoping to run the wires to a storage area in the attic, where I could then make these wired cameras wireless and thus question #1; -How do I go about making these camera wireless at that point, a router? I was then hoping that I could wirelessly set this up to a tablet android based PC, dedicated to the cameras. If this works, then the tablet could be used from any room in the house and thus question #2; -Assuming any of this is possible, what software would be used in an android based system, to monitor all (3) cameras at the exact same time on the screen? I will note here that I could care less about recording capability. I appreciate any help I may receive! |

Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at IP cameras, but I do not like the idea of a visible antenna
. I am simply wondering if I can buy 2-3 wired cameras, run CAT6 to each of them, run the CAT6 to a wireless router of some sort, and monitor them through a home WIFI type network? |

The IP cameras will most likely come with software that allows you view the camera image, and most will let you view multiple cameras at once. It'll typically be HTTP-based, so all you need is a browser to access the cameras. ETA: it sounds like you don't yet have a home wireless network/router set up. If that's the case, you'll probably want to add a network switch to the mix, since the router itself will usually only have a few ports (jacks) available. Run the cameras to the switch, then one cable from the switch to the router. |
