Security cameras for monitoring employees computer screen


 Hello,

I had just setup a Q-See DVR 8-channel system for a customer's car dealership a couple weeks ago.  He uses the system to monitor what the employees are doing while he is at his home in another state.  

Everything thing looks good to him on the video stream over the internet.  However, the cameras will only let you see a blurred vision of what is on the employee computer screen.  He was wanting to swap out the cameras with ones that would focus more clearly on their screens (employees) however, give a wide enough angle to see a little of their surroundings at the same time.  Without making it too obvious he is watching what they are doing on the computers.

There has been allot of issues with porn, youtube, and facebook.   However, no one admits it was ever them. lol


Is there such a camera that costs under $200?  Would this be a matter of getting cameras with manual focus?

The DVR is a BNC connection.

Thanks for the help in advance!

Mike

That is a very good point and it has been talked about.  However,  he is more into the cameras right now and so that means I have to stay with the original plan.  Using security cameras to do the job. That it shows this person was on this terminal looking at this website.  No gray area open
The camera that i would think might work is the one we use in our network department, we tested it with out drivers license and we can see it clear as day.  We have a Panasonic BB-HCM381A Network camera but as i stated above it costs way more that $200
That is a sweet looking camera!  Looked it up on google and it does have great zoom and features!  However, with a $800 price tag and needing about four of them (One for each location).  That could add up pretty quickly.
