Not going to do anything till it gets a lot warmer outside but I am still trying to come up with a long term strategy for cameras. My current plan is to go with Panasonic wired IP cameras but I'm still notsure this is the best option. My thoughts on the Panasonics are:
PRO-
-Works with Elk TS07
-Works stand-alone from browser so they can be used in other ways in addition to the automation system interface.
-Includes Pan/Tilt/Zoom
-Very easy wiring... net + power in one cat-5.
-No separate weather enclosure required
-Good operating temp range... no heater required.
CON-
-Low light but no IR mode for night vision.
-Limited options compared to separate camera + IP server systems
-Video quality good but not as good as Super HAD type optics
I think the built-in Pan/Tilt/Zoom will keep me leaning toward wired Panasonic IP but I want to research all of the options.
