Hi, Just been looking on amazon uk at ip web cams and came across quite a few ip pan/tilt cams 35-45 uk pounds. The reviews are mixed - some cant say enough good things and others are not very happy. It does look like the setting up is a bit of a pain... You will need to wait until daylight but have a look through the UK subscribers' webcams. Click on the first one - Alveston - and you will see the camera used down at the bottom. Click Next to quickly move to the next webcam. That will give you a good idea of the respective quality of each. All those images on WU are at 640*480 although some may have been resized from larger images. It's definitely a case of the more you pay the better the image. The Harrow webcam looks pretty good. A Panasonic BB-HCM735 but it retails around 250. It depends on your wallet and priorities I suppose. Hi Ray, Yes I do agree you get what you pay for and compared to other ip cams the ones in the link just look too good to be true... I am curious if any other weather station users had any experience with the said items...and how bad are they really! A friend of mine bought one and it seems to work OK, quality isn't brilliant but he had it up and running quite quickly and I controlled it over the 'net - with sound disabled. Can't give you a link as he uses it for monitoring. we dont have a tilt camera but we did buy a cheapo from Foscam. For 100$ you get what you pay for. It is wireless and we have very little issue with communication. Main problem is the color. In order to work under very low light ( night ) those camera are very sensitive to Infra-red but that kills colors during the day esp. green which will become sepia. Besides the white balance is not automatic and that means total white out if cam sees the sun. Hi, thanks for the reply and OMG! Purple....washed out images... really not too good....i use a lifecam (usb) it was quite cheap but the colors are really good for the price...i would like similar quality but wifi....bound to be pricey!! As the saying goe's 'you get what you pay for'. Cheers.
