Wide-angle IP cam - ideas?

All my cameras have about 60 degrees angle or less, which is less then convenient for indoors monitoring (camera located not far enough, so only a sector is visible). Pan-tilt is nice, but people tent to react negatively when something is suddenly starting to move behind their back :slight_smile:

Do you know any inexpensive wide-angle IP cams so I could cover the entire room without pan-tilt?

You can check if your webcam lens is removable and order a wide angle lens, for instance:

I recently ordered this one for my ip webcam, but I couldn’t test it yet, because it takes some time in the delivery. The webcam I have is the widely available foscam F18909W-NA:
