foofer 0 Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) What is the reason for spending $200 for a 720p cam with questionable quality when the Swann/Hikvision 1080p cams are $350 for a pair at Costco? I can see the interest in the cheap 0.3mp Foscams because of the price point, but their better ones just don't have the value per dollar. And if you want eight cams you'll need two of those switches as only four of the eight ports are powered. Edited May 10, 2014 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
