Good, cheap IP camera?

[The_Unbeliever]

Hey all

Where can I obtain an IP camera for a good price?

Want to set up Zoneminder to play around with.

No such thing as good and cheap IP cameras seen some 300k IP cameras cheap but nasty
i am also looking for such a thing
thought of buying the mini servers separate and fitting them to 600 TV line cameras haven't done the costing on that yet . any resolution lower than 600 TV lines is useless

I also have a VGA (640x480=300k) IP camera which is bad video quality wise. I would really look for something better.

Miro has quite a selection: http://www.miro.co.za/products.aspx?p=IP+Video&sp=IP+Cameras&spid=196&spp=Fixed+IP+Camera&sspid=565

What are your parameters for "good price"? Also, are you looking for indoor/outdoor; you want IR on there at all?

IIRC miro has a 1 megapixel for about a grand. No idea what the quality is like though.

Sure ...and, going by what they told me when I was desperately trying to hunt some of these down, don't expect to get hold of any any time soon. Pretty much the same goes for Miro.

I have used D-LINK DSC 900 IP Cameras to successfully monitor a building construction.

I bought five of these foscam clones. Best part is that you won't need zone minder as they have prevuilt recording and email functios. Been six months and not a hitch.

I am afraid that I do not understand your question.

I used 3 cameras to monitor a building construction. There was sufficient detail to recognise the workers and what mistakes were being made. Still pictures in acceptable detail could be printed, and screen shots sent to the builder.

My son, in the UK, was able to dial into the cameras to see progress on the building

If you are looking for night surveillance cameras, these are not suitable.

The OP asked for reasonably priced IP cameras, I gave him my experience, however the DCS900 has now been discontinued, but I am sure there is a replacement.
