IP Camera Testing - What do you guys want to see?

Recommended Posts

I wouldn't worry about using CAT6 cable. I haven't seen a single camera that can some close to the full bandwidth of a CAT5 cable (ie. they only light up 100mbit on the switch) I haven't been given the chance to play around with a 4K camera yet so I don't know about that, but the Arecont AV12186 still only lights up 100mbit.

 

I've had nothing but trouble with Arecont cameras. They're a complete waste of time IMO. You can't use the web interface to reboot the camera. There's no physical reset button on the camera either (one bricked and had to be replaced)

I've been using Cat6 simply because it is costing me the same, or in some cases less than, Cat5E.
