I'm not entirely sure, but the £40 one there doesn't appear to be from
foscam - possibly it could be a white-labelled foscam (which won't run
the normal foscam firmware), but could also be one of the no-name
clones. Did your research suggest it is from foscam?

I tried one of the tenvis ones (which is a branded clone) which come up
a little bit cheaper than that, and it seems okay. I suspect the
official foscam one would be less buggy and better put together - I need
to test that assertion by actually buying one of the foscam's sometime :-)

Cheers,

Joseph
