Hi there.
I have this little project that I'm a bit excited about now. I want to stream a live camera from my balcony. I happen to live in a tiny ass apartment but with a beautiful view of the city. Just started doing my search today but there are so many brands and all have their own specific purposes mainly CCTV.
I'm not worried about the installation and forwarding ports, because i feel confident in that area.
To keep it short, here is what i would like to have at this point of time so that I at least know what to want:
- Ip cam
- At least HD 720
- Nice colors
- Decent night time display, streets are fairly illuminated
- Wide angle lens
- Temperatures vary from -5 to 40 Celsius. Having said that, the camera will be exposed to direct sunlight, heavy winds and rain.
Obviously, would like to keep the costs down to about 300-350$ for all this goodness (I really hope you dont just laugh and walk away )
So, any ideas what to look at? So far I've checked out Dlink and Microseven websites really close, however would like to see what pros would say.
Below is the time lapse of the same street i've done with my GoPro the other day. Unfortunately the battery died when it started getting dark, but it should give you an idea about illumination.
