Of all the requests IT gets in a week this one was off the radar. I was asked to setup a couple of surveillance cameras at a remote office for "cheap".
The two areas to be monitored are 20-30 foot away from where I'm thinking of placing the cameras. It would be on the "roof" of an office inside a larger building that is kept around 40 degrees. It's protected from water but it is rather cold. The closest PC is 25 foot or so away from the camera's location.
After a little research I'm thinking a 4 port DVR card inside of the manager's PC is the way to go. Stick a TB drive in it and be done. This kit: Newegg link
Whole kit is $340 or so and then electricians have to get me power up there which shouldn't be that big of a deal. Can anyone recommend a better solution?
