Hi, I posted a few days ago asking if anyone had experience with the Panasonic WV-SW175 which replaced the Panasonic BB-HCM735A. I’ve used the Panasonic BB-HCM* line for several years and have always been pretty happy with them. However, the new i-Pro line (WV-SW*) seems to subtract more features that I appreciate than it adds so I’m looking for a new favorite camera.
I’m specifically looking for:
-outdoor ready
-FTP (or preferably SCP) uploads when an alarm occurs
-built in motion detection
-some ability to buffer/transmit pre-alarm images
-not particularly large and ugly (aesthetics matter)
-pan and tilt (optical zoom would be a nice feature)
-browser independent (this is where the latest Panasonics really fall down)
So far, I’ve looked at web pages about Axis, TREND and Foscam.
Any suggestions?
thanks a lot in advance.

I have gotten the WV-SW175 to work with Vera. The pan/zoom works well but having difficulty using the presets. The camera is outdoor ready and the H.264 720p picture is outstanding.
