    Wireless web cam w/ built in server? recommendations?

    Can anyone recommend a wireless web cam solution that does not require PCs?

    Considering buying several wireless web cams for home security and other broadcasting ventures... wondering if anyone at GFY has tried any cams on the market...

    found mixed reviews for the LINKSYS WIRELESS B, better reviews for G... but would like to hear from people in this industry...

    Wireless-B Internet Video Camera

    Wireless-G Internet Video Camera
    http://www.linksys.com/products/prod...id=38&prid=650


    Unlike standard "web cams" that require an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own web server, so it can connect directly to a network, either over Wireless-G (802.11g) networking, or over 10/100 Ethernet cable. The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 640x480 audio/video stream

    any comments? complaints? reviews? suggestions? etc?

    anyone used the Linksys B's or G's for home use or broadcasting?

    thanks in advance...

        thanks for suggestions...

        just got off the phone w/ DLINK support and they told me to wait till end of May2005 for their new line:
        http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0&pid=411
        wireless G w/ 2 way audio, remote pan, tilt, zoom & optical zoom...

        but sticker price is $900+

        ouch. I need to buy 6+ cams so I'll look at their other cam options for now.

        anyone used this one before:

        $450 at ecost:

          I'm starting to think $900 isn't too bad after checking out a few more cams/sites

            Yeah that's the one I have 2 of. The linksys was crap, video was so slow, and didn't have ccd. Trust me get the d-link.

                    have a look to axis products this one for eg: http://axis.com/products/cam_206w/index.htm
                    they have great products, plus you can easily customise the OS for some of them. Have a look to the demo gallery http://axis.com/solutions/video/gallery.htm
