Anybody going with wireless systems, please make sure they are password (strong password) protected, otherwise you just gave the bad guys a view INSIDE your property. Recently (last several months) there was an article about a Russian website that had thousands of household unprotected web cameras, there IP address, etc. All a bad guy (or your nosey neighbor) had to do was type in the IP address, and bingo, they were watching you.
My point, TOO MANY people buy these systems, connect to the internet, and never think about the security of the video feed.
Hope this helps.
