Which IP camera to choose

[eaglevision]

Hey all,
I am in the market for an IP camera and looking for some advice, the features I am looking for are
two way audio
intelligent motion detection, I want to be able to send full video when the motion is detected not just snapshots.
network protocol support for dynamic IP

price range up to 600

any ideas

sorry to steal your post, I'm in the market for a similar product, hopefully admin can suggest us something at the same time. First I need to clear some newbie questions... what are the requirements to run a IP camera? (ie: valid high speed internet connection, power, hub, router, RJ45 cable... any additional monthly fee for the service?... etc please be precise) I need to a solution for retail surveillances and IP camera seems to be the best way, need something that'll record during business hour and record on motion off business hour. (side questions, how to record to a sever? or my home PC?) My budget is <$1000, quality is top priority, sound is not necessary.

anyone?

Eaglevision - can you let me know what you are trying to accomplish? is this a tele-conferencing tool (2 way audio gave me that impression).

discumax - it sounds like you are looking for more of a surveillance system - take a look at www.trueviewservices.com, these guys may be able to help you out.

As a precursor to my following suggestion as to which ip camera is number one in terms of best value and loaded features, let me say that I had the opportunity to test several ip cameras in the last few years and the Intellinet network camera (see www.intellinet-network.com), model 550710, is what my company currently uses in all of our applications. Its cost, at under $300, its lifetime warranty, and its motion detection features were all what we were looking for when we ran an exhaustive testing process on many IP cameras back in 2003. Although there may be those who would disagree with me, with over 500 of these cameras now installed and running, we have experienced only one dud, and minimal technical support problems. The technical support team at manufacturer has consistently assisted our company when we started to use the more detailed menus/features of the camera when we were asked to use them for some interesting IR applications in the nursing home industry. Other company's tech support teams wouldn't even return our phone calls. And no, I do not resell these cameras to the public but could offer consultation on your peculiar configuration, offline of course, in case someone wanted to know a specific answer to a specific question...

I'm not sure of any cameras that will send video clips via email or FTP. I have heard of cameras that do this, however, I can't remember who made them. Most cameras send FTP snapshots. You can get a decent camera with two-way audio and motion detection for a fairly decent price. The 4XEM W80 can do this along with the D-Link 3220.

Sorry I couldn't be more help for the camera that sends video clips. I will try to find the camera. How long would you need the video clips to be? If I remember correctly, they wouldn't be that long especially if they are being sent via email.

Also im4ipsc, Intellinet never returned my emails so I stopped trying Not saying anything against them as that was a year ago I just gave up trying to learn more about their products.
