RE: IP Cams - do they stream ?

["Alex Clark" <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would really recommend Mobotix (www.mobotix.com/en/) which I got in the
UK
from http://www.batt.co.uk/products/index.asp?area=1&p1=36

They are expensive, but do more than Axis and for an external camera
actually work out cheaper.

I have streaming on mine at work.  I don't want to give you the ip, but you
can see the quality of the image at
http://www.atwoodschool.com/building_live.htm
(ftp to a server).  At the
moment the builders don't seem to be working!

There is a live ip at http://194.129.55.90/

Alex.

You need an mpeg based camera rather than just a  motion jpeg one, bit more
expensive but readily available. A few different mpeg standards ...

Axis do some nice ones and there are some very low cost units here...
