Beat whatever dead horse you feel you need to.
Back to my original question,..
for those who aren't threatened, can anyone other than the one guy that
gave a reasonable response, tell about cameras you've used.
By the way, there are builders that provide this service. If you feel
insulted, just be insulted and don't respond. If you don't have any
experience on the topic, just don't respond. It's a waste of your time
and a waste of mine. I'm wanting to know about reasonably priced
internet-ready cameras that can be viewed remotely (from time to time
so that I can check in at various stages of construction (since I am
the one paying the bill). For those who are rich enough to turn down
the job, more power to them. For the ones that take the job, they know
the camera will be there on certain days, because I want to see how
certain tricky things go, and if there are problems, I want to find out
about it before it costs me too much money.
I work side by side with these guys, and having the camera there is no
different from when I'm there on site watching.
