PLDT DSL and Surveillance Cameras Question

[Unregistered1]

Is PLDT's P3000 home plan ok? I'm planning to have one installed as well as another P3000 biz plan for the office. I'm going to use this mainly for a remote wireless surveillance camera. How many cameras can I expect to run simultaneously with this plan.

Take note that the upload speed is much lower than the download speed. It's about 600-700kbps for the 3k residential plan. The camera uploads its pictures to the internet and the upload speed limit will be the limiting factor.

my 3k residential PLDT DSL is only getting 300-380kbps upload

Better just turn on the email forwarding function of the network camera... Since most email providers has big email space (yahoo has unlimited), the camera will just forward the images to your email by timer function or by motion detection.

300kbps is good for video streaming, if you can maintain it.
There is the issue though of how many cameras are on. More than one camera being streamed that bandwidth might not be enough.

I rather not spam myself with a thousand emails. If I wanted an archive of the images, i'd setup an FTP server at the site or at home, and have the camera dump images there or upload to my home pc.

A script-driven page giving regular snapshots of the site might also be a good idea. Tapos local on-site recording na lang (set filesize limit, or timelimit per recording). You can grab the encoded files at the end of the day.

There are also some network cameras with built-in memory / removable memory (SD Card) for storage of video/images....

Well, I think PLDT's P3000 home plan is ok. But I don't know how to install it. And if how many cameras to run simultaneously with that plan. seo services

PLDT's Xcite and Xcel(Plan 1995 and Plan 3k, respectively) offer the same upload speed... and they can only support 2 simultaneous streams decently using Linksys' WVC200 default settings(1 stream if audio is enabled)...
