[olug] RPi as a security camera

[Ben Hollingsworth]

Justin, ever used the bullet version of that camera with the optical 
zoom?  How well does that work?  I've got several locations that need 
cameras, and I'd like some of them to have wider angles of view than others.

What mechanism does it use for the "remote viewing by iphone et al?"  
Can I store the video on-site (not in-camera), or must I constantly 
stream all my cameras up over my tiny Internet connection to some remote 
site?
