Hi all. Can anyone recommend a simple IP based, external cam. It is going to be mounted at the top of a 3 story hotel, on the sea front, looking out to sea. I would like potential customers to be able to watch the live feed from the hotel website without having to install any silly activeX controls or the like. I have a server based in a data centre so could send the video from the cam to that and distribute from there. Any ideas or recommendations are appreciated. Matt.

Hi guys. I have been asked to look at putting a cam at the end of a small loca air field runway and linking it into their existing system (cop security dvr). There is no power and the nearest building is 1Km away line of sight. Can i use a wireless video link for this or will I have to cable (that will be a 2Km cable run as it will gave to go around the edge of the feild!) I am based in the UK and the system must be licence free if I go the wireless link route. Thoughts please oh mighty knowledgeable ones....

I was looking for some 5.8G links but have had no luck finding them here in the UK. Here are the answers for your questions: 1. Budget - around £1500 - 2000 GBP all in 2. Yes, night time use is required. 3. No need to get reg numbers of planes. The cam is more for checking no one is running around on the air field 4. Again, no need to capture approach and landings. I have a basic external housing knocking around and an IR light housing too ( I don't think it has an IR lamp/filter in it though)

Thanks all. We have gone for the axis 211M in an external enclosure. I know its not PTZ but that not a problem. Thanks for the info all.
