<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We installed security cameras when we refurbished
in 1998/9. Our building is a 1930s heritage one, but the cameras are almost
invisible - either white or black small hemispheres with cameras inside. Quite
discreet, and we forget they are there usually.</FONT></DIV>

people are in the gallery, particularly potentially naughty boys! I am glad we
went for the more expensive option of colour as it helps in quickly identifying
the area and the person. Ours are attached to 24 surveillance, and they
have been particularly useful in identifying boys who have been up
to no good in the adjoining Town Hall.</FONT></DIV>

cameras</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi all,<BR><BR> <BR><BR>I am hoping someone can help me -
I am investigating security cameras for<BR>the Homestead at Bundanon. We
already have a back to base security system<BR>but it has been decided to
install security cameras as well. <BR><BR> <BR><BR>Bundanon Homestead is
an 1866 Georgian 2 storey house with two storey<BR>verandah at front. It is
made primarily of sandstone and cedar and stands in<BR>close proximity to a
1840s kitchen and servants quarters all of which is in<BR>fairly constant use
by staff and visitors. Arthur Boyd's 1981 studio is also<BR>in the grounds at
the other end of the garden. This too would
require<BR>cameras.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>I am reluctant to install them
internally and so am hoping that exterior<BR>cameras will be sufficient for
all the above mentioned buildings.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>My questions
are:<BR><BR>1. What sort of cameras should I be looking for?<BR>2. Who are the
best suppliers (Sydney/ACT/Illawarra)?<BR>3. What other support is required in
terms of power supply, PC/monitor,<BR>etc<BR>4. What triumphs and/or
difficulties have people experienced in<BR>installation and continued use of
security cameras in and around historic<BR>houses<BR>5. Any ideas on costs
would also be welcome.<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Many thanks and I look forward to
your
feedback<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Cheers<BR><BR>Jennifer<BR><BR> <BR><BR>Jennifer
