hi. what sort of budget are you looking at. if it is very low then yes you will find many bad ip webcam type.
ip can be budget to the 1000s
take a look here http://www.cctvforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=20564
I'm not gonna lie, my business partner doesn't want to invest a lot into a camera. We just want the camera to overlook a lighted hallway so we can see who is coming in / leaving. So I guess I am going to be stuck in the cheapo quality division.
I picked IP camera because when I was researching some cameras it seemed that all other cameras required a tv, receiver, video cables, and etc. With the IP cameras it seems that the software is built right into the camera and all you need is a router and no extra equipment to make it work.
At most I would have 1-3 cameras in my office. However, we just want to start with 1.
So, do any of you know a good "cheapo" camera, haha.
Thanks for the input guys!
