d-link is having a promotion at the pc show. the pan tilt zoom camera is only selling for $259! at 7pm! hope i can make it to be the 1st 30 customers.. :oops:


just to share the good news with fellow parents who wants to get one.

Good luck. That should be for just the normal one, though, and not the 6220 which has an incredible 10x optical zoom.

Congrats! That's a pretty good price. The initial setup can be quite tricky if you have a home network that is not using the default 192.168.x.x private IP subnet. Set it up using wire first, before attempting wireless setup. Also, do the software setup beside the computer first before installing it up high on the wall.

i think he’s quite a pro… got it up already. thanks ChiefKiasu!

Hi Spikey,

I have not got the CCTV yet. I am looking for 1 which i can monitor my maid and baby at home, while I am at work by logging into the internet. I have seen advertisement which claim to be be less than $1000 and including cabling. But I am not sure if i need to switch on my PC at home at all time, if i want to see them thru internet. I also don’t know if I need to pay for monthly subscription.

i sent out enquiries to about 10 CCTV camera installers last night. Shortlisted one of them who has experience in installing for a landed property - he's coming over this weekend to give a quote. Expected to cost more than $1000 because of the split levels and extra cabling.
