Cheap IP Tilt/Pan Cameras
on: May 29, 2011, 12:46:48 PM
Anyone got any kind of cheap CCTV setup?

Im looking at one of these from DealExtreme. Embarrassingly its so I can check on the house and my pet rats while Im away for 2 weeks.

The idea being I can hopefully view a stream on my android phone from wherever I am, and at £40 delivered its quite a bargain.

Thoughts?

do you need tilt and pan for that ?  will a webcam not do what you want ?

It may do but having tilt/shift gives me a bit more flexibility.

It would need to be networked because of location and given the price the premium over a static networked camera is pretty low.

All this assuming that it actually works to a reasonable standard. Im not sure if the DealExtreme version is a copy or an actual Foscam version which is a little concerning.
