IP Camera for home suggestions?

Vanilla · 20 Nov 2012 at 16:09

Can anyone recommend any cameras or websites for buying an IP camera.

Looking for a cam for the front of the house, preferably a dome. This will be installed on the wall and then power will be run to it. A network cable will be fed into a nearby bedroom that has a switch in it and the server for collecting all of the video will reside in the annex at the back of the garden.

Just watching the cars and who is coming and going.

Any advice appreciated

I bought one for £40 or so from eBay, does the job fine.

Any ideas on these wireless cams?

looks like they save having to run two cables but i'm a bit dubious about most things wireless.....

The £40 one I got is wireless and works fine.

Can you access this from the web? Iphone I mean

Also I'd like to be able to pipe it into the tv somehow so I could flick to it if someone knocks at the door?

Yup. I use an app called camviewer on my phone. I just set up fort forwarding on my router and then connect via my WAN IP address and port.
