    Need a wireless camera

    Whats a good wireless security cam with pan and tilt? It will be going outdoors. My landlord had $2k worth of stuff stolen from his garage (he left his door open ) and would like to put up something simple.

    ummm there is no such thing unless you going to be adding a solar panel and a battery.

    a wireless PTZ best solution would be IP. as you could send it's signal over a wireless hop via a ubiquiti unit.

    Y not set up multiple cameras? How far from the main building? What's his budget? PM me if you would like.

      I have had good luck with their SD cameras, but the price of the HD is about what I paid for some SD cams a few years ago.
      $119 for a D-Link WiFi camera that PTZ's and does HD res:


      The D-Link SD cams I have support https, but none of the SD FosCam's I have support https...

        I usually use stationary wired cameras, but do have one outdoor pan and tilt; a Foscam FI8919W. It works OK and does the job, but has trouble with bright backgrounds, like the sun reflecting off the ocean.

          Wireless as in WiFi, not power source. Sorry for the confusion.

                Consider a cheap polarizer filter.

                  If its inside (say the garage) I'm a fan of old cellphones. They actually do have built in battery backup in the event the perp cuts the power.

                  You can get software that only starts sending video or pictures when it senses motion.

                  My home internet is also battery backed and has no cord... so... having the cell phones use home wireless to send me pics... togeather it works for me / is somewhat secure.
