Need a camera to watch the 20x75 driveway Any particular reason you want to use Megapixel cameras over analog? I am not recommending I am just asking why you wanted IP. For your price range your not gonna find anything unless you find something used. Also keep in mind you will need software and a computer to record the video. HD/Megapixel has advantages and disadvantages over analog. Major advantage is image quality you get much high resolution over analog. Disadvantage is low light sensitivity but you can always add light to make up for this. With analog you can NEVER get better resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my experience, most people don't want their "Summer House" to look like a prison. You see, I have this thing called a "wife," that has introduced me to the extreme importance of such aesthetic niceties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
