Panasonic BL-C10 - Network Camera
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 PM
"When we first saw Panasonic’s BL-C10 we thought surely this can’t be right – a network camera with remote pan and tilt functions for around £200? But that’s exactly what you get as this baby camera offers these features and more making it highly affordable for home users and small businesses alike. Not only does it deliver pan and tilt controls but the BL-C10 also incorporates an infrared thermal sensor which can be linked to triggers allowing the camera to take snapshots of the area under surveillance when activated."
I've gone through a couple of consumer grade cameras for security monitoring at my home. (There are a few children in our development with too much time on their hands and no parental supervision.) I've been disappointed by all of them. I may need to step up to something professional grade, like this camera. Basic features I want are Internet accessibility, night vision, ability to record only when motion is detected, and the ability to have is store the recordings for a fixed period of time and then overwrite them. Best I have gotten was 3 of those features, but the video quality was very poor on that unit. Any suggestions?
