No, my Foscam IP cameras. They have their own built in web servers so you can connect to each camera, tie multiple cameras to one webpage, or use an Andorid or Apple app to view the video stream. I use IP Cam Viewer for Android.

$67.60 and WiFi or wired with infrared night vision

I set up port forwarding so my cameras would be accessible outside my home network and used the program while we were away to monitor the video feeds. Our cameras have microphones, speakers, pan/tilt, etc. and those features are supported with the Android app. KVR -- I bet your DVR cameras are supported to -- you should check it out. Let me know if you have any questions.

Almost forgot... they're alive!!!

All six of them. I checked on them today and it looks like they drank plenty of water and still have food. I was going to put them in the dog crate in the yard but they were going berserk in the coop so I just said "screw it" and left them in there. Starting tomorrow our coldest nights should be 50 with it being 70's or so during the day. I will pull the coop out tomorrow night and plan on leaving it outside henceforth. Still have some work to do on it but it is secure as-is.

Great news, Pork! Glad they made it.

We just had a late frost last night. Usually we're home free after Mother's day. Looks like 50s are the low from here on out so I'll probably get them out into the tractor permanently in the next few days or so.

I'm in NJ, zone 6B.

Heres a pick of what I came home to. They knocked the lid off of the brooder and were all roosting on the rim of the tote!
