Anyone got a suggestion for a nice CHEAP ip camera out there?


Looking for a couple but everyone I have found online costs an arm and a leg to acquire :(


Looking at the price range of 25 dollars tops (if possible).

If you can find an old windows mobile cell phone that no longer has service, there's a free program called "Tiny Cam" I used with a Samsung Saga... sends a really good image.

Over a year ago I bought a FOSCAM model of IP camera that works good. But I do not see that model available on Amazon now. All of the FOSCAM models appear to be wireless. A month ago I bought the Escam QD520 IP camera from Amazon. I can talk to it, but still working out some issues with control. Gary

I'm using Hosafe cameras (Amazon and Newegg). The 1Mp version is $40. It works fine on the my Hamnet.-- Gordon

**Well I've run into a problem when using more than one of these cameras at the same time on the Mesh Network. The cameras will lose connection to the network. The only solution I've found is to cycle the power. Then it works for a few minutes and the feed is lost again. I tried the cameras on a Netgear N600 router with factory firmware and they did not lose connection at all. I assume it must be an issue with the mesh network.

Note: I tried using individual cameras on separate Ubiquiti Nanostations nodes,  all three cameras into a Linksys mesh node and all three into a Netgear switch attached to a Ubiquiti node. I get the same issue with each configuration. If I use just one Hosafe camera on the mesh network it operates correctly.
