COULDNT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF...

These people aproached us around a year ago and I was of the same mind as Gaz.

CCTV is important in these sort of places but I dont think it should be open for public viewing.

Guys if you you actually took a moment to work out how it works, you might also see the benefit as opposed to the negative's. The only people who are actually able to view the pictures are parents who have kids in the nursery, when their kids leave the nursery they loose access rights. In this modern world isn't it far better to be able to check on the your kids and the people who are being paid to look after them.

Just my opinion though, Colin.

Couldn`t agree more Colin.

All well and good until someone discovers how to hack into the system

Your right, but that can be said regarding many form`s of security.

Nothing is truly secure, but I can guarantee these guys will try and make these systems as secure as possible. OK mebe not go to the extent of strapping TNT to the incoming data links, like some paranoid companies I know!

If I was a parent I would welcome been able to check up on the people looking after my kids, as these teachers could be overstepping the mark with mmy children, so I would like them to know that whatever they do its on cam, then they will behave and act as they should.

All well and good until someone discovers how to hack into the system, as i said before i dont believe there is anything truely secure.

how about static ip:s and iptables + username/password protection + network supervision.

Before you hack in you are hacked...

Best way would be VPN into their secure network, then access it through a secure web-browser. Then youve added different security layers.

Indeed, but I guess Joe Public do not know about VPN or IPV6.. Also I bet that Joe Public has ignored virus checks and haven't updated windows ever.

That's why I talked only about "light" protection which doesn't need any understanding from end - user but is secure enough.

Could use Citrix Metaframe Powerview... this can work through a web-browser and is a VPN package within itself. But bloody expensive security option!

Better thoughts guy's :doub_thum_up:

Far better to make suggestions as how to make something better, rather than pick it appart. Look at some of the things manufacturers take on board about the panels and detectors. Perhaps the original poster will want to come back on and post how they operate the concept.
