I am seeking advise. I have found that when ever I need good advise I can always get it from my friends at the Sport Trac Web Site.
Here's my question. I have a home security system with ADT. It's cellular as we don't have a land line phone. I also have cameras outside that are hooked to a Lorex DVR. The video output is from the DVR to a monitor. That's how I get to see what's going on outside my home. Lorex, in the manual, says that I can make this bad boy work on my laptop. Problem is, I would like to have the feed from the Lorex to my computer wireless as they are in different rooms and I would also like to see real time video if I am on the road. I had the ADT guy out and he said no problem but I would need to purchase an encoder for each camera that will feed my existing system. I have four cameras and would need one for each camera according to him. I believe that they would hard wire it from my DVR location to my ADT panel. Up through the attic. The cost quoted is well over $500.00. I checked with cox cable who also has a security system but it appears that I would have to bundle with TV and Landline and internet. No bundle no can do. So how do I wirelessly send the signal from the DVR to my internet? I forgot to mention that I have a century link wireless do hicky (C1000A) that feeds my internet access. It seems to me that I should be able to send the live feed to somewhere on the internet and then be able to access it from anywhere. I am pretty computer illiterate but this doesn't seem to be a big deal. Any advise? Thanks in advance. Dave
