IP Cameras Recommandations

Hi,

I am getting a versa3 and i looked at the wiki but it seems dated. Is there very good IP cameras that pan / tilt with good night vision? Or what would be a good top 3 that will work with the versa to pick from?

Thanks

Well, just got two Foscam FI8910W (this replaces FI8918 model) and they’re really good considering price. I’m already thinking about getting additional two…:slight_smile:

Do they integrate into versa 3 just fine?

Do you mean Vera 3? if so yes, it took me some time to figure it out at first but now they do work nicely :slight_smile:

will the cameras work on vera2 with UI4?

Yes, they will work with UI4. You will need to install a few files to get them to work. In UI5, they work out of the box with only needing to add one file to get full pan/tilt to work.

oh boy, is there instructions somewhere on adding files?
The Foscam looks great.

Yes, there are a few threads that describe how to do this. It is pretty simple to do. Can be done via the web interface. Many of us on the forum can help you if you have any questions or run into any problems.

Just got 2 pack and was looking for instructions to integrate into vera2 UI4.
I found this link

Am i looking at the correct thing here?
I don’t want to mess up the setup and redo the whole setup. I ran into sunset and sunrise issue and for some reason i had to reset and redo the whole setup again which took more than a week to rework the whole thing.

I got the basic camera function working with FOSCAM FI8910W but now stuck with the up/down and side motion control.
next step video streaming
next audio.
If anybody has pointers for me.

I have a black Loftek CXS 2200, performing very well, attractive price (you can compare with others if possible)
