17 Thanks guys. I'm glad this (obvious?) path has been established.

20 Anyone else is encourage to add comments about cameras, wireless
21 frequencies, coax cables, fiber-cameras or hard drives (btrfs?) or any
22 other information are all welcome. Night vision cameras are of keen
23 interest, cause I have lots of (wild) animals, snakes and birds to watch
24 too, just for kicks as I'm near a small wetland and a river. So a
25 'virtual porch' is part of the ultimate goals.

27 Security and (wildlife) entertainment, are the ultimate integrated goal,
28 with some very hi-res cameras that may only record for short duration.
29 Ultimately, some static IPs and reliable (outbound) bandwidth may allow
30 me to share some footage and a few live connections at a time.
31 All of this is a ways off, but on the dream list. Got a 17' gator
32 nearby; he is the size of a tug boat.

34 Thanks again for all the information and everyone is invited to
35 contribute ideas.
