Home (Outdoor) Network Security Camera Recommendations? I'm looking for a network security camera that I can put on the front porch (out of the rain/snow, but not out of the cold!). It needs to meet the following critera: 1) Can take HIGH RES pictures - I need to be able to actually SEE who was there, and identify them in court, for example. 2) It must be able to take pictures when it senses motion. 3) As there is lighting on the porch, night vision isn't required, but a low-light feature might be helpful. 4) It needs to store the pics centrally on a local server via ethernet, it case someone tries to damage it. Lastly 5) It has to be "home affordable" - I've found this camera for $3000, now I need a home version. I've looked everywhere, and all recommendations had horrbile reviews. 3 out of 5 stars at best. HELP ME OUT!!! ..................

What security measures are reaslistically required for a home wireless network?

WEP is the only security protocol listed on my wireless router, but surely that's better than nothing?

Now I have no security mode enabled and I am just using MAC address filtering with my laptop. Will this be an adequate security setup for my home network?

How do I setup a new computer with an existing security-enabled home network? I couldn't seem to configure my new computer to get an Internet connection like all the other computers in my home network. I already have the WEP key but it doesn't seem to work. My new computer runs on Vista, and the other computers at home that have Internet connection run on XP. I've looked on a few other websites and couldn't seem to find the solution specific to my problem. Any ideas you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! First of all, I would like to say thanks to all those who shared their thoughts and worked within the info that I provided earlier. For those who need to get additional info, the router for the home network is a Westell Model 2200. The new computer has a Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter. There is a 26-character alphanumeric code that I enter when I try to manually connect to the Internet (is that the WEP key?), but sometimes, when I try to make a connection, the system doesn't even ask me to enter this code.

Wireless Home Networking Security? My DSL cable goes directly from the wall to the modem, then to the router! I have an aircard in my laptop and I have wireless adapter for my xbox. My question is, is it possible to make my network secure like I have it set up? I am thinking not because there is nothing controlling the router... Or do I need to run the DSL cable from the wall to the modem to a DESKTOP COMPUTER THEN TO THE ROUTER! Im thinking that is the way I have to do this to set up a secure network so that others cant piggyback on my connection... I really had rather do it the way I have it set up, but am wondering from yall if I can! Thanks! What does "you just need to add security..." mean?!?! I dont know what I need and how to hook it up? The "..." is what I need! :) THANKS FULLERFYEDS! That worked!!! Im all secured now!!

How can I transfer a ton of data over a network without setting up a home network? There are multiple computers on a network, however they're all directly connected to the router. Basically there the Internet->Modem->Router->Direct connections to multiple computers. I can see the multiple computers via the DHCP table on the router (192.168.1.1), and I know for sure if one computer is running some server software (Apache for example), then the other computers can access it just fine by typing in the internal IP address (192.168.1.x), and I'm pretty sure port forwarding works fine. Most computers run Windows XP, however the computer that has the ton of data and the computer that will get the ton of data both run XP. And I don't want to set up a home network, I just need a direct connection. I'm thinking there's possibly some server software where when someone connects to it, they can get the data. Either way, what should I do to transfer the (at least, probably much more) 2gb of data? I can't burn cd/dvd's. The network is small and secure, so security is not an issue.

Is there any way to make your home network act as a proxy server? I have a netgear WGR614 v6 wireless router and I was wondering if it would be possible to connect to it from another computer to use my internet connection. Basically make my home network a proxy. I would rather not have to connect to my computer to do it. I have already used remote desktop connection to basically do this, but that was rediculously slow, and a serious security risk. So is it possible and how might i do it? I just have to ask, Anthony, how could it possibly be illegal to use your home network as a proxy? It might be against some rules at school, but illegal? I only want to do this because my school just made it against the rules to access your email, no matter what you use it for. If i wanted to hide something why in the world would I want to use my home network which would be easily traceable to me?

How do I create a Home Network for file sharing? I have an XP media desktop and I would like to make a home network for file sharing with my new Vista Laptop. I have DSL and the internet works fine, I have never made a home network before and I'm having issues with connecting the two computers. I created the network on the Vista laptop, and I'm trying to figure out how to get the two computers connected. I'm doing a "VPN" (Virtual private network) connection and I had to put in the IP addresses which are simular because they are on DSL and the laptop connects wirelessly to the desktop's internet. Everytime I try to connect it says: ERROR 800: "Unable to establish the VPN connection. The VPN server may be unreachable, or security parameters may not be configured properly for this connection" ??? I have no idea what I'm doing so if anyone can give me some really detailed instructions that would be fantastic.
