  1. I dont know your budgets but I think you are really limiting yourself if you are looking for only IP cameras. I'd take it from a different angle and look at camcorders/prosumer HD (4k even) cameras. You get a LOT more functionality.. There are cameras like the Panasonic V750 or it's competitors.. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1023343-REG/panasonic_hc_v750_full_hd_camcorder.html That will shoot 120fps. Get a little Black Magic encoder like this: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/892453-REG/Blackmagic_Design_bdlkulsdzminrec_Ultrastudio_Mini_Recorder.html a Macbook Pro and Wirecast free version that they license to youtube and you can give it a shot. This video here is pretty much how we setup with some differences but it's a simple way to try this. You can capture to disk and/or stream. WIrecast has a full version trial that watermarks with audio and video watermarks but it is fully functional forever We had GE in our video studio a couple years ago and they set up a circle of 28 or so Canon Dslrs shooting at 60fps which at the time was the best a DSLR would do. They shot this after posting it in Final Cut. http://www.ge.com/thegeshow/solar/index.html#ch1 Let me know if you want some people to talk to that sell video gear, guys we deal with. Dont' worry , we don't overpay for anything here...We are frugal.
  2. I am a lurker here but wanted to offer this angle. My day job is live webcasting. We use very expensive cameras and such. I am just getting into security cameras so don't know much here. I can offer this angle for what you're trying. If you want to use an application such as Telestream Wirecast. We use this extensively. You can capture and stream (you did say "stream") from any firewire or even USB camera or device just about. Full frame rate. I've seen use of Canon DSLR and the like with WIrecast. Its more of a webcasting solution but it also records to disk. It's not entirely inexpensive but its robust. In fact it would work for home security remote viewing in a sense now that I think of it.. You can encode in a number of formats. My 2 Cents. HTH James
