looking for an outdoor security camera

  • Joelle March 22nd, 2007 3:23 pm

    I am looking for an outdoor security camera to mount on my garage to keep an eye on the front of my house while I am on vacation and watch my kids at the bus stop on my corner. I want one that can wirelessly connect to my Airport Extreme and only needs to be plugged into an electrical socket. I know it exists, but I want a reasonable price and all of the bells and whistles-moveable, automatic recording, zoom, etc.

    Joelle,

    The stuff mentioned above are quite cool but I don't think it would be great as an outdoor wireless security camera. Unless, of course, it is inconspicuous enough to not be easily noticed by kids who fancy these kind of things.

    Joelle,

    There are much better cameras to use outdoors. Many work well in both bright light and dark conditions. Unless you absolutely have to have color, I would recommend saving some $ and going with a B&W camera.

    Thank you Ashley for your good point about hiding it. Also to Jim, good point-color is not necessary for my needs. The search continues

    Hi all,

    Like so many others Mac users (I know at least 20) I refuse to pay for an overpriced activeX ip camera that isn't fully Mac compatible !

    No way I'll EVER buy anything  icro$hit Even less if it's only purpose is controlling an ip camera

    Some day a manufacturer will understand this. The one who writes a real la Mac Mac driver with all functionality will earn the jackpot !

    I'll rather wait for another couple of decades.

    Regards

    Tycho

    Hi Tycho,

    I suppose it comes down to what you actually want an IP camera for. Many cameras on the market work fine using MACs if the most important aspect of a camera purchase is picture quality and some home security functionality, such as image transfer by email or to an FTP server on triggered alarms.

    There are also MAC based recording solutions out there which work with IP cameras, the most notable being an application called Security Spy.

    But, yes we totally agree with your frustrations. The manufacturers of these cameras pay no notice to MAC users when they develop their initial setup tools, recording software and camera drivers/plug-ins.

    Unfortunately, until there's more than 21 of you it will probably stay like this for some time.
