Is there a list of cameras out there that will work with vera or imperihome that have either pan/tilt or wide lens? I want higher quality cameras possibly with outdoor options. I’ve been trying to find a solution for like 2 years now hope someone can shed some light on this I would loveeeee to finally tackle this project
I think Vera has a limited amount of cameras it supports. And by that I mean those cameras that are designed to be able to upload photos and videos to their servers for archival/retrieval. Although please don’t quote me.
I highly suggest going to TigerDirect and finding a good camera that suites your purpose. Most of the cameras that are WiFi/Ethernet/IP driven can be added to your Vera system.
The difference comes when you are talking about having say motion activation controlled by Vera scenes as an example. If you go to shop.getvera.com I believe that’s most of all the officially supported devices.
There was a third party plugin that allowed motion detection to work with Vera thus allowing scenes to work as well but that was a specific Foscam I believe.

If you want more options then you could get Blue Iris which is also offers a lot of options for security. However, it will require a PC to run on which might be a no-go for you.
