Not much experience in this area since I have never bought one before.
Looking for about 4 right now, and up to a total of 10 in the future. (2 more inside and 4 more outside)
The first 4 will be for indoor use, budget about $100 cnd each. Right now due to time constraints I will probably just run them on their own (save to SD card) In the future, either wirelessly tie them into the network and save to the NAS (synology DS712+) or wired via POE and/or to their own dedicated recorder.
Requirements
-at least 480p
-SD or mem card back up (don't currently have time to wire them up or set them up wirelessly.
-wired & wireless capable
EDIT - umm able to stop recording if nothing is happening and start recording when motion is detected.
Nice options to have
-PoE
-pan, zoom, etc. (maybe 1 or 2 cameras, don't really need it for all of them)
-720p
-night-vision
-option of own stand-alone pvr that I can tie into the network later (this would have to support 8 camera's preferably)
- I have never seen it before, but battery operated or back up would be nice (say a 9v battery or something)
-multiple mounting options?
-edit2 - 90 degree viewing angle
-edit 3 - mic (recording only)
Looked around, seen lots of reviews, and wow they are all over the map for pretty much all of them. I have really been viewing some of the foscams lately as the prices seem decent and have most things I'm looking for.
Any suggestions, or recommendations?
Thanks
