Hello everyone.
Here is the situation at hand. I have a friend who is setting up video cameras to monitor his restaurant. Now these cameras are going to be connected to a new computer which will record the video to the hard drive. He also has one other computer which is also the cash register. These two computers will be on a LAN with a DSL connection to the internet.
So what he wants to do is be able to monitor the video and the cash register from a remote location, not necessarily at the same time. He wants to be able to monitor this over the internet with a DSL connection. I am planning to use PCAnywhere for this project for the remote viewing.
Now, what I cannot decide on is how to set up the network at the restaurant so that it will allow a remote connection over the internet and still be secure. I was thinking of installing Windows 2000 server on the computer with the video cameras and setting up a VPN so he could connect over a VPN and then use PC Anywhere over the VPN connection.
Please let me know if I am going in the right direction or if you have any ideas on a better setup.
