    Under 60 dollars???

    yeah, well i was hoping for something good and cheap

    il try to put $100 for this project, but thats it ...

    its hard to find one that has MPEG4 or h264 compresion

    i might need to rethink this requirement

    i found one from LogiLink, but its $150

    and from TP-Link, TL-SC3130G at $93

    Compro-VideoMate-IP70-Network-Camera also under $100

    or Edimax IC-3030WN but no IR

    i might go with the AirLive WL-2000CAM, but i see it doesnt supports HTTPS

     

     

    now i stick to the MPEG4 compression (h264 is of no use to me), but im still not able to find a cheaper model

    is there some sort of catalog, where i can chose what specs i need and it will present me with all the models which meet my requirements?

    Hello all,

     

    i need some guidance

    I'm searching for a wireless camera which i want to use in my baby's room (13feet on 15feet and 7feet high) in a corner.

    i would like to avoid the Mjpeg encoding,

    should have audio/microphone,

    temperature in the room can get somethimes over 82 °F

    i will probably access it on my local wifi network but also from my smartphone

    i dont know what angle the camera should cover ... to get as much as possible the hole room, even if i only need it now to watch the bad/baby

    if it has pan/tilt it would be nice but not necessarily

    and the price should be under $100

     

    please help me out, cause there are so many no-name brands out there that i really dont knwo which to trust

    thanks

    well thing is that the AVTech AVN252 on ebay is 222 EURO, and the only suppliers are from US, which means ill have to pay something to customs

     

    so i have to chose from the foscam and the LogiLink

    any other suggestions?

     

    Honestly you will not be happy with any of those cameras. Spend a bit more and buy a decent camera like a Vivotek 8362. Or just go with a cheap DVR and a decent analog camera, it will get you better picture quality in the AVN252.

    i know your right, but still when you dont got the money you need to take what u can

    the ip8362 is $900, i dont even earn that much in a month ... so its not a bit more, its huge

     

    there are many solutions under the 200 mark, but i was asking around to see which is better, or reliable then the other, cause i know that i cant expect quality at this price, but still im hoping that others from experience can tell me some models which where ok

     

    a professional firm is asking for $300 to install a surveillance system (dont know any details), well at this price i dont think it would be of any quality so why should i pay someone else to do it when i could do it for less and maybe at the same or better quality

     

    now from the searches that i did i found out that the best thing would be if i could find a outdoor camera that complies with the IP67 standard (has Fan and Heater), but i guess there is no way that i could find one under 200

    This is what You get for ~170$ here in Poland:

     

    thank you for the suggestion

     

    i found also this one: FI8905W $75-100

    http://foscam.us/products/foscam-fi8905w-outdoor-wireless-ip-camera-23.html

     

     

    LogiLink WC0016 $183

    http://www.logilink.eu/showproduct/WC0016.htm?seticlanguage=en

     

    and i dont know which to take,

    if the price difference is really worthy?

     

    OMG Foscam, I hate those cams, its like webcamera with ethernet port. I used them once, and I wont do it again. Just like "Grand IP cameras" - SUCKs HARD!

    well thing is that the AVTech AVN252 on ebay is 222 EURO, and the only suppliers are from US, which means ill have to pay something to customs

    2) Can record in total darkness (or at least near total darkness, b&w is OK)
    cam doesn't have to be weatherproof as I can mount the camera in my shed through a window

     

    If you want to record in total darkness you need IR leds. IR leds behind window = bad idea

    Camera will be blinded by reflection.

    ok, didnt think about that ...

    then it needs to be outdoor

    my biggest problem is the temperature thing ... last night we had -6

    What cameras do you know of that meet the following requirements (or as many of them as possible):

     

    1) Is IP based/wireless

    2) Can record in total darkness (or at least near total darkness, b&w is OK)

    3) Doesn't deliver choppy playback when viewed over high speed internet (Fiber-link, 7Mb/s)

    4) Will still work at low temperatures of -15C or at high of 42C (for the next 3-5 years)

    5) Has Wireless G but I would settle for wired also

    6) Is a popular camera so that perhaps I can find one used on eBay

    7) Works with Security Monitor Pro maybe, at least doesn't needs special software to buy

    Has motion detections and can send an alert to phone/email

    9) Price: $200 for a new or used one

     

    I plan on using it for surveillance of my backyard (cam doesn't have to be weatherproof as I can mount the camera in my shed through a window at the back of my backyard), still the temperatures will be this winter under -15C

     

    I'd appreciate you sharing your knowledge with me in this matter.

    Thank you

     

    PS: is it possible to take even a cheap camera and wrap it in some thermal insulating tape so that it last at low temperatures?
