Alarmhandler is built to use standard IP cameras, giving you the freedom to acquire the cameras you want from wherever you want, and to mix different brands and models of cameras.
Alarmhandler supports most cameras on the market by supporting email transfer of images and videos. Any camera that can send email notifications upon motion detection can be hooked onto our system, eg several models from Foscam and D-link
We have previously supported ftp, but almost no new cameras support this protocol anymore so we've stopped supporting it. Alternatively, if you have a camera that can submit recordings using https post protocol, this is also possible. Some cameras do not support mailing recordings, in which case they cannot be used with Alarmhandler. You can read the test of various cameras on our blog, and feel free to send us a message if you've tested a particular camera with Alarmhandler and would like to share your experience with us.
