    Hello from Cincinnati!

    What a great site! I stumbled across it a few weeks ago while researching cameras. I didnt realize how far ip cameras have come in just a few years. I am planning on putting a simple system at the house mostly to watch the kids now that they are older and can come and go without mom and dad...
