been doing some research....so i can complete my cctv installation and be able to view my cameras from anywhere on the net.

i want to be able to connect to my office which will be linked to the dvr...i am not sure if i should connect a 3/4 G modem or use the telkom router.

i want to be able to receive sms or an email if the alarm is activated....then view the cameras from my netbook which has a 3 G card in it...i do realise that the 3 g route would be more expensive.

some recommendations are that i use a router to avoid virus and other complications and that i should use a dynamic ip address?

what are your thoughts.
