Some Suggested Setups

My advice is to start out with a one camera setup. This way you 
can better understand how each device in the setup works 


To monitor anyone approaching your house point the camera toward
the most likely accessible area. Also make sure the camera has an
unobstructive view for at least 20 feet so the image will have already
been taken before the perpetrator gets to your house


An outside camera should be high enough so the peretrator can not easily
access it. An inside camera is best because there is less wireing or in the
case of a wireless camera the transmit distance can be easily delt with

 If you are using a wireless camera then you will need a receiver like the one below  
                                                                                              

Locate the receiver next to a TV or VCR with A/V inputs or next to a 
Computer with a Graphics Card with a Video Input or use a USB Adapter.
  

                                                                

For a wireless setup hook camera receiver to your tv, vcr or computer 
graphics card via a video audio cable.

                                                                         

For a wired camera hook camera cable a/v plugs to your tv, vcr or 
computer graphics card.

                                                                                                 

Just a word of advice. I would hook to a tv first so you can see the image 
right away and make any adjustments. Now you can set up your software
  and send your image to your web site.
