<div text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> Hi,<br>
I have had an IP camera for a few years and it worked
well until the UV filter jammed ruining the night vision.
Did catch an inquisitive person "looking for a party he
was told was here" falling into our fishpond in the dark
:)<br>
<br>
WiFi cameras work, but tie up very significant bandwidth
if you try external motion detection - I used "motion" at
one time.<br>
<br>
Almost all require a windows IE browser addin with much of
the security turned off to work so you can set them up ...
then they may be partially usable in Linux :( The ones I
have all need a local connection (i.e., wont accept a
connection routed from another network where I have Win
VM's)<br>
<br>
Then a couple of win versions down the road you find
yourself maintaining old win VM's (XP in one case) for the
purpose of maintaining it :( <br>
<br>
I also have one with wifi and no night vision - waste of
time.<br>
<br>
I also would really like to find one that just works with
Linux ....<br>
