Has anyone had experience with the Compro IP90P? Seems like it may be a decent candidate. I'll take a look at the FOSCAM, Samsung, and Panasonic lines as suggested as well.

I'm starting to search for a few cameras to add to my system and I'd love to get some suggestions. First, the relevant info. I'm looking for: Location: Indoor Environment: Day/Night Connection: PoE Resolution: More is better Onboard Storage: Nice but not necessary External Storage: Needs to...

I'm using Elve with great success. Love that it is a .NET app and has a really solid API for driver development. I agree that the "Allowed driver instances vs. software flavor is pricey". I wish they would differentiate between DIY and Pro in some way other than allowed driver instances. I'm...

I'd be interested in the wireless version, would pick up a couple most likely.

Thanks for the info. I was thinking the wireless smoke would have a battery but was hoping I could find one that offered an A/C hookup in addition. This is how my current (non-wireless, non-networked) smoke detectors are built. Just figured I might as well try to use the A/C hookup since it...

Does anyone know if there exists a wireless smoke detector compatible with the Elk M1XRF2G Wireless Receiver that can be powered by A/C?

Hey all, I didn't read the SmartHomes forums carefully enough before buying a pair of Heath Zenith Dual-Brite security sconces. As others have apparently experienced, the triac doesn't appear to kick in fully (only reads 6V rather than 120V) unless there is a load on the motion-sensor lead and...

Hey all, I just received my first Insteon devices and I'm having some trouble. I have an ISY-99i, one ToggleLinc Dimmer, and one LampLinc. I've got the ISY-99i set up and running but I'm having some trouble linking my devices. I have successfully linked both the ToggleLinc and the LampLinc...

Hey all, For anyone looking for a solid video HTPC front-end, I've just released version 0.9.0 of my Theater@Home application. The software retrieves movie data from IMDb, stores your videos in a SQL database, and allows you to browse/mount/launch all your videos easily. This version includes...
