Great info, thanks! Your Axis is what I thought I wanted. However I didn't know about push video. Now I want that! It looks like AVTech don't make any cameras that support both push video and PoE. There's a company called Zavio that do, but no one seems to have reviewed their stuff so I'm loath to buy one. Do you know of any other (good) cameras that support both push video and PoE? PIR would be great, but I haven't yet found a way to mount a camera outside near my front door, so I don't think it would work for me. Would I be safe to assume that all Axis cameras have the same email capability? The M3004-V (1MP "fixed mini-dome") looks like it would suit my needs, but its user manual doesn't say. Is it really minutes from detection to email-buzzing-phone? My Panasonic camera is usually about 15 seconds. Thanks again.

Hi, I'm looking to replace my old Panasonic BB-HCM715, with something with a better image (the Panasonic is really only good to 640x480). Requirements: - email me when it detects motion, with an attached image and a timeout before the next email - upload images to an FTP server, with settings to upload images from before the detection event as well as after it. - POE - ideally, local (SD card) storage too but it's not necessary. I'm not opposed to putting something lightweight on my PC for the email/FTP. However I don't want to overburden my lightweight server PC with motion detection, so BlueIris is out. I've tried XProtect Go but it can't handle TLS or SSL email(!) so that's out too. The Panasonic has PTZ and a microphone, neither of which I use. It's mounted inside a window and there's an automatic light, so IR is not necessary either. Looking to pay <$300, preferably more like $150. I'm in Australia so will probably have to buy online. (I recently bought a ACTi D11, which can't attach an image to the email or delay before sending another, and a Swann HD-820CAM, which apparently can't do anything at all by itself . I don't want to buy another dud.) Can anyone suggest a good camera? Thanks for reading!
