Hi Tony,
I finally had a chance to work on setting up my Trendnet camera, got a dyndns.org hostname (free version). So far I am only able to see my router when I use the hostname not the camera,
not sure where to go from here. Any tips appreciated.
Thanks

Good morning, Bruce!
Thank you very much for all the answers - makes complete sense.
I do already use dyndns.org for remote access to my home computers from work so setting up the cameras similarly is easy enough. I gave them satic IPs, configured an alternate port number on the camera and setup firewall routing. Works like a champ.
With all the networking out of the way I still have to get everything installed in their proper locations. That is going to involve installing some electrical outlets at the right place but I keep changing my mind as to where I want to mount them. It is a bit of a balancing act between ease of access and getting them where they give a good view. Plus "the boss" is not going to be happy if I have them someplace where they stick out like a sore thumb. Haha!
Just want to verify one thing:
I just used standard electrical wire.....
I presume you mean something like automotive type wire - like 12 or 14 gauge or something along those lines? Just want to make sure so I don't burn my house down.
Thanks again for all your advice!
Tony
