Cheap full ONVIF profile S cameras, Any recommendations?

[MindrustUK 0]

So I've got a full Hikvision CCTV setup that I'm more than happy with. I'm doing some light dev work with the events generated, the Hikvision's work fine but I want to expand my compatibility a bit. A lot of these cheap cameras from eBay are all advertised as "Fully ONVIF version 2.4" certified, really all they do is discovery and advertise the stream but don't handle eventing / analytics etc. I've bought one or two ELP and other random brand cameras but they all appear to be much the same in terms of limitation.

 

I wonder if anyone can recommend a few cheap cameras that actually do motion detection / eventing / analytics on board ?

 

Thanks.

A lot of manufacturers state that they are "ONVIF compatible", etc. However, ONVIF is a standards organization, and they maintain a list of products that have actually been tested, and confirmed to work, here - http://www.onvif.org/ConformantProducts/ProfileProducts.aspx

 

Otherwise, you may be chasing your tail with products that don't actually work the way they should.
