So you're posting this in an online discussion forum, but you actually want people to pickup the phone and call you? (Is this because you don't want to give hints about your security camera requirements in a public forum?) IP security cameras are pretty close to being on-topic, seeing as most run Linux, and this is a topic of interest to at least a minority of Discuss subscribers, so I think there is benefit to keeping the discussion on-list. What are you looking for in an IP camera? What price range? How many do you plan to deploy? Here are some sites I've found useful when researching security camera products: http://www.cctvforum.com/ (Linux software for monitoring cameras, but the wiki and forum often contain useful info on hardware, of particular interest if you want a camera that plays nice with open source tools.) http://www.zoneminder.com/ (Less useful than the name implies. Often a camera you are interested in wont have any reviews here, and they are just brief user-written reviews. No better than what you'd find at NewEgg or Amazon.) http://www.networkcamerareviews.com/ http://www.doityourself.com/forum/electronic-alarms-home-security-devices-87/ (Occasionally something useful amid the spam and flames. Haven't looked at it in a while.) http://groups.google.com/group/alt.security.alarms/topics?hl=en -Tom -- Tom Metro Venture Logic, Newton, MA, USA "Enterprise solutions through open source."
