I've been burned with Foscams and now a Huisun PTZ v1 and would appreciate your guidance to get beyond the "lottery" of getting a dud. What camera would work well for this set up: - mounted externally on house pointing at road approximately 50-100 feet away (so I think I need a zoom around 5x) - RELIABLE motion detection night and day time - stores photos via FTP - capable of capturing license plates - ethernet wired connection (WiFi is unreliable) I favor bullet cameras, I don't need PTZ or tracking - I just want the camera to take HD photos of cars that drive through a fixed place on the road. The Huisun PTZ v1 had great resolution and the zoom, but the motion detection was lousy. I'd like to spend $200, but the question is really to get the above what does it $take?
