Your experience with internal security cameras?

[Deane Johnson]

Now that I have my new ISY handling my Z-Wave very well, I'm ready to start messing with something else.

I don't have specific need for a security camera but, I'd like to start fooling around with one to use inside. Every one I check out has a list of negatives as well as positives. Like many people, I check out the 1 star comments to see what the bottom end of the issues are. Seems there are plenty of negative comments for anything I look at in the low price range. I want to stay in the low price range as this is more of a plaything to see what use it might be than it is a serious usage.

Access wise, I have the following Hubs in service: Hue, Smarthings, Insteon, as well as the ISY.

May shopping list:

WiFi
Remote Pan and Tilt
Higher Resolution (why have it if your can see there faces?)
Table top mount
Remote access (iPhone & iPad, Windows on MS Surface)

I'm just wondering if anyone has discovered anything in the lower price class that meets these requirements. I realize for an el cheapo budget for this project, I'll have to give up something (maybe everything.:-))

I haven't ever used anything like this before, so everything is new news to me.

Thanks

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3GK...detailpage

works great. Doesn't go via a hub, just direct. It has an android & iOS app. $105, free shipping if you have prime.

Thanks IVB.

im a fan of the Dropcam/Nest Cam. it has a fee if you want DVR, but its low-light ability is really good. the new Nest v2 driver supports the cam so you can put snapshots into your interfaces.
