i just bought several winsview ip PTZ cameras. after i got the hang of how to network them, connecting to router, staic ip etc. they work great. they also have 2 way audio,

 

sadly the audio out is a headphone jack and im sure it needed powered speaker to produce sound. i do all shopping on amazon, but im looking for the smallest possible thing i can connect to it. please suggest me things. my home security is almost complete but work still needs to be done.

 

secondly, i need software, i like blue iris but i dont like the 45$ and 10$ for the app. im using contacam but dont have the PTZ in the software.  id like something that i can monitor via android device too.

 

finally, after i get this all setup and done ill learn what a ftp server is and why do i need/want one.

IP Cam Viewer I think the Pro version is 4.99, but there is a lite version to try out. I really recommend it.

Crazy idea, velcro a portable speaker to a wall. somthing like this: http://www.amazon.com/XBOOM-Portable-Rechargeable-Enhanced-Resonator/dp/B0082E9K7U and use a phone charger wall wart to keep it powered.

 

Also, if your cameras are like mine, than an ftp (file transfer protocol) server is used to transfer captured images from the camera to the server, if there is a motion trigger.
