Yup, the security racket is probably the way to go. Even ten years ago they had sets of cameras and a special capture card that will take all the inputs. You could then access them on the web even via a laptop. Now you can probably even do it on a cellphone. What you can do now is probably alot more than even I suspect.
Best Buy and all them are sort of dweebs, geared for "regular" folk. Things that are out of the ordinary are not their bag. You might try Global Computer. If you like I might be able to find the direct number to my personal rep there, but that may not be necessary. One caveat about them though. Make a new email address to get rebates. If you have to go through onrebates.com to get the check, NEVER give them your main email, they wrecked one of my favorites. They NEVER stop spamming. Other than that they have some really good deals. I have found it very difficult to beat their prices and I have bought quite a bit from them. Other than the spam problem they are pretty good.
Then it's a matter of getting hosting and bandwidth. Live video feeds eat bandwidth and it is not free. Imagine the bill youtube gets every month. You are also going to need the proper software, which may come with the security system. Doing what youtube does is not quite what you want if I read it right. They have stored files usually in the flash format, to go actually live is a different story. And wherever this originates from is going to need an extremely high speed internet connection. Most end user ISPs do not even have a fast enough interface. I'd say at least a T1 minimum. I could be wrong, but if you get alot of traffic I will certainly be right.
I think one to ask around here would be ThatDaveGuy, what I can say is only the basics, he has demonstrated much superior knowledge on such subjects. Give it a day, maybe he'll pop up and have more detail.
All I got for now.
