Try doing a google search in this group.
It's been pretty well covered.
Generally, the consensus seems to be that it's becoming another method
to monitor alarms. Not yet considered reliable enough to be a stand
alone means unless it's the only means at your disposal. At this
juncture, people seem to be using it either as a backup or in
conjuction with another more proven method. Land line phone and two way
long range radio seem to be considered the "proven" methods nowdays.
Land line inexpensive. two way Radio not. |

I'm biased but will comment anyway.
Reliability in the UK at least has improved over the last two years and
is dependent on your choise of ISP, router and network provider. I
expect that, over time and following a lot more take-overs than we are
seeing just now, ISPs will have to start competing on Service Level
rather than just price.
However, if you use a fully supervised IP signalling system (plug!)
you'll know when its down and can do something about it. All networks
fail at some time!
Long-range radio is not often an option in UK. Once you start using a
back-up you're into the network charges that you avoid with Broadband.

This company sells remote actuated relays and monitoring systems, not
specifically for the security industry, but it looks like they could
be adapted to do whatever you want.

I'm using a G4 Mac with Daystar's interview to interface the TV camera
to the computer via the USB port. I'm running Security Spy software and
have downloaded no-isp's software because I have a dynamic ISP (cable
modem).
The software works fine. SecuritySpy has: built in motion detection,
the ability to handle multiple cameras, and send out email JPEGs
attached when an intrusion is determined.
I use the system as a "threat assessment" system when the main alarm
goes off. |
