znelbok - I'm a reseller of grandstream and I'd be willing to ship through an affordable freight forwarder for you. Contact me if interested and I can get a quote together for what it'd cost. I don't do this for a living so I can give you some of the best pricing available. Same goes for others if they're interested and don't want to roll the dice with ebay; I haven't bothered with a web-site before but I can get one online to make ordering easier too if there's demand. I've worked with a lot of CTers on Ubiquiti and Grandstream gear over the years.
I'm probably going to order some of these to play with too - I'm really interested in their GXV3500 encoder/decoder - I love the idea of having the network cams that are viewable everywhere, but also still being able to easily pull up the feeds on TV's around the house - that decoder lets you view up to 8 cameras on your TV. I think you could use a couple simultaneously, or hook one into a video distribution system; at the same time you can integrate with the SIP, etc. I'm thinking that, if done right, this really could be the perfect babycam many of us have been looking for!

Its been raining (with much wind) here and my little plastic enclosure did get really wet in the last couple of days. That said I was unable to access the IP camera this morning and reset it.
All was well after I reset it.
I could make it more watertight by wrapping the whole enclosure in some tape.
Any suggestions where to buy that expansion outdoor tape? Radio Shack?
Its been doing well and I might just take it in and apart to find out the size of the lens I need to change it from the current 8mm to the 2.5mm. I am ordering another 2.5mm fo the Aircam such that I will do a "bulk" purchase of lens from the place in the UK. If it works then will request that they add the Grandstream IP camera to their web site.

Not sure which tape you're talking about specifically, but that coax seal tape is pretty water-tight;
Nashua 386 Stretch and Seal Tape: 1 in. x 10 ft. (Black)

Thank-you Work2Play.
I disconnected the cat5 cable last night as the camera was off again. The plastic enclosure was pretty wet from the rain. I had placed it under a piece of wood. If it stops raining today will take it apart to see how wet it got inside.
I do think that the water is shorting out the POE port shutting off the camera; but apparently not causing long term issues with it.
The mounted Aircam cabling goes into the eave as it is adjacent to it such that if I mounted the Grandstream at the same location the network POE connector wouldn't get wet.
