It can't be too old though as it does need to run the video smoothly. Here's a separate instructable on the playhouse įor the PC, an el cheapo PC or laptop will do (a Netbook works great and is nice and compact). The nice thing about building it from scratch is I was able to run all the wiring for the sensors through the walls as well as the electrical, doorbell, speaker, network, coax, and phone. The playhouse in itself was quite a project. Its basically a full blown mini-house with electrical, insulation, drywall, vent, TV, phone, pergo floor, etc. We then poured a concrete slab for it and then roofed and painted it. My Dad built it in Oregon and then dis-assembled it and drove it down to California where we put it back together. The playhouse is 8x8x8, I got the plans for the playhouse here. Of course, I had to do the full on installation which was a playhouse I built for my two girls. Your installation can be as simple as this plug and play installation where you can be up and running in 10 minutes or a full on installation with in-wall sensors.
