Hi

I want to put up a few cameras connected to a CentOS box. I currently have a box with one camera and that works (USB), I can take a pic (the script does that) and see that on a webpage.

However, I want to have a couple of cameras a little further away (more than 5 meters).

USB has a limit, I have tried that camera with a longer cable and it does not work ... so I need to route that in a different way. Are there equaly as cheap other moethods? Or can I use USB<-adapter->network cable<-adapter->USB?

How can I get that to work?

It would be simplier to just get a network camera, such as the ones made by axis.com.
