Im in search of tutorials,tips,or info regarding Remote Veiwing surveillence systems,and sharing a broadband connection with the unit.A customer had a inquiry about a remote veiwing surveillence system that they purchased,which utilizes a high speed internet connection.As I stated,they wish to share the high speed internet connection with the security equipment,and a PC that they have there.He had also indicated that there was a RJ-11 port available.My first guess was to impliment a router or switch(with the cable modem) to network the two devices,but the RJ-11 thing kind of threw me off,as they would need an ethernet port(45).Any info is appreciated.

Hi there Cablepuller
don't worry about the RJ11 outlet it most likly means that there is an outlet going back to a rack somewhere and you could put your gear there or it may be where the telco terminates. I have a situation where we have a cctv camera comected to a ADSL modem which we can call via the internet and monitor the area. We are going to put in a router with two cameras on and switch between them remotly as we wish. You could put in a time switch or a control switch. we tried Alarm equipt and camera's on the same line but had problems so put in separate lines for each. A standard modem for the alarm gear & ADSL for the camera's
Cheers

Hey guys, I have been looking for someone to mention camera systems. Off the subject,, What is the difference between ac and dc cameras and the different voltages they run off of. We are now installing cameras with remote viewing that interface with our POS systems and just taking what the sales rep pushes. We put the computers on DSL and use a software called Flexwatch if that helps you

cablepuller,
I think the RJ11 jack on that remote surveillance system is to connect to a phone line.
Bospruel,
the usuall voltage of cctv canmmeras are 12v DC and 24v AC.
DC drops in voltage the farther the cable run. AC can travel farther distance with very little voltage drop

Why not use web enabled cameras? Axis makes a nice little camera(with a built-in web server.
