what is a decent wireless ip camera?

Eric

I want to get a security camera, just one for now to watch the driveway of my house. I checked Amazon and eBay, there are so many camera I can't tell which is right for me. 420, 525, 36mm, etc I can't tell which one is important.

My problem: for the past few months deliveries from UPS were reported as having delivered (even those required signatures were just left unsigned) and when I checked, the packages are nowhere to be found. I am tired of filing complaint and waiting for replacement. I have no way of knowing if I have a dishonest delivery truck or if someone has been coming in and stealing after UPS leaves. Nothing like a stolen $1,000 camera lens that were supposed to be signed for (but never signed) to make someone at UPS HQ hopping mad.

I would like a camera that is able to use wireless network with WPK2 encryption or a plain wired ('d have to run a cable from router to outside), is outdoor friendly, and can be accessed from computer on network. What I plan is to use software that connects to the camera and record video if there's any movement. But I am open to suggestion as long as I can see the video and it can show what is going on in front of my house.

I do not want one that has overly wide angle, I'd like to see just the drive way from the under eaves of my house, not the whole world. Not too expensive, probably around $50. Two-way audio support is also not needed as I probably won't be at home if a crime occurs at my house. It'd have to be network capable as none of my computer has video capture hardware.

Wireless Security Camera System?

ghostofrea

I am looking into setting up one wireless security camera (preferably with night vision) in the front of my house. I might even put one in the back, but we'll see. I am really confused though. There are so many different types and so many mixed reviews.

Ultimately I will need to purchase a DVR system and a camera. But which one? I'd like it to record continuously and reset every few days. This way if something does happen, I can simply check the DVR.

It looks like Q-See is the best bet, but I don't know. What do you think?

I have tried a number of security camera options, but I have found none better than at

The DVRs will work on various voltages, so the only problem may be changing the plug.
The mini cams are brilliant, especially the ultra low light ones, which can see in near total darkness.
There is nothing wrong with the low priced DVRs!!, but get the highest Gb you can, so you can record for a longer period. I have mine on 24/7, then when it's full, it just overwrites it.
There are also wireless send & receivers.
It's a DIY dream shop.
And no, I don't work there!!! :)
