Reviews of the Rveal Streaming Media Player seem to be pretty good  https://goo.gl/7uDevC  140 reviews with 4.5/5 stars  8)  Note the requirement is internet connection.

Yep! Also looking at the Zmodo. Had done some research, and this thread should force me to enter into action and finally order a kit.  ::) Initially, on top of my selection list were: HD digital, night-vision, motion detection, recording (meaning ready-to-use hard drive), connectivity of at...

Yes, problem solving, creativity,  the wonder of the human brain. Seriously. On that subject, I am currently looking for solar-powered roof vent. A unit with a small solar panel to power a fan. Easy to install and (if possible)  not too expensive  ::) Any suggestion? Thank you
