The incredible variety of IP cameras available on the market makes it tough to compare apples to apples. There are low cost low res solutions, high cost low res, low frame rate, high frame rate, big dollars and little dollars indoor and outdoor, optimized for wireless, converted cctv, you could even probably find a diet - decaffinated version if you search long enough.
The important step to take in choosing video equipment is to understand what your customer's expectations are first and then to closely match the system capabilities to those expectations with budget following along as needed. With Hollywood showing everyday customers the incredible capabilities in movies like Eagle Eye and Enemy of the State, don't be surprised if your customer wants some pretty unreal capabilities. Most times when a customer learns what all the bells and whistles will cost it gets them started thinking about what they really need vs what they want and this allows the budget back into reasonable territory. Best of luck in your search. Additionally as you are comparing camera types and models WATCH OUT for the equipment that does not include the software to run it. This can be a tremendous expense.

We stumbled into them looking for a tower monitoring solution. Had a remote site where someone was unplugging our equipment... stuff like that to cause downtime (ended up being our competitor). Put them head to head with most analog cameras and I think most people would be impressed...

Not as easy to hide as radio cams etc. But you get a VERY good picture from them. We replaced an ADT system with one. The customer says that the image quality is much much better with this new system than it was with the old one. marlon ----- Original Message ----- From: "3-dB Networks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'WISPA General List'" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Sunday, September 28, 2008 1:47 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Looking for webcam/security software > My understanding of this situation was a webcam that the customer needs > setup as a security camera in effect. > > Inscape does make some great cameras (we area reseller if you are > interested...
