Any recs for a "vanity" camera?

Recommended Posts

My brother wants to set up a video camera in a builders model home and use it to stream on their web site so potential customers can catch a glimpse of the home.

 

I'm looking for suggestions for a camera with the following needs:

 

Color.....Good to really good quality.

 

70 degree view

 

Self contained web server and 811.g wireless, wiring would be a pain due to the ceiling design and desired location.

 

Trigger on motion would be nice but not required.

 

I've seen a couple in the $200 price range, but I'm afraid they're little more than toys.

 

Any suggestions?

 

(Rory, did you ever make it to America?)

Might also consider separating the IP camera from the wireless access point (or even separating the camera from the server too) to increase your choices and maybe get a better overall solution.

Thanks AVCO, I just ordered the 207W.

Wish it had a wider field of view than 55 degrees, but it appears to be a just what he needs

Thanks again for the suggestions, the AXIS 207 works like a champ.

My ISP blocks port 80 so I had to up it to 2100.

 

It's up at http://afhi.axiscam.net:2100/view/index.shtml

 

Just setting on a ledge until we figure out the best spot for it.

 

Now I need to figure out how to get it into a web page without forcing users to install the ActiveX control. Many people get spooked when XP warns them, and many others don't know what to do when the read the instuctions.

 

Thanks again!
