Very interesting..

I'm especially interested in the Video capture and transmit over the
internet.

Maybe I shouldn't mention it here, but my boat is at a public dock and the
port authority doesn't seem to think it is necessary to have on site
security or video monitoring, even with a half dozen $100k boats there all
winter.

I have noticed some commercial systems in the Northern catalog. The best is
a computer and has a 120gig HD instead of a VCR and 4 cameras. Price is
$1500.

A good friend owns a summer house right next to this public dock and would
allow me to set the system up to monitor the dock and all I would have to do
is pay for the DSL or Cable monthly service.

I know this would be more 'novelty' than practical. But my boat insurance
has a $2000 deductible and besides, I worry even though I am insured. The
novelty is in being able to spy on my boat and those messing around on the
dock..

Just my thoughts.
