I've had the same experience as Trevor. I've only bought two though. Most frustrating was finding one that supposedly could be operated through a browser, which I wanted precisely because I wasn't using Windows, but depended on an IE-specific ActiveX plug-in. Nothing on the box indicated that, it only said "Operated through a browser" with no mention of IE, Windows or ActiveX, so watch out for that. I think that was even a DLink although my memory is not entirely clear. It was a brand name that I didn't expect to pull shenanigans like that, anyway.<br>

surveillance.<br>
<br>
I was looking into purchasing some IP cameras for use with ZoneMinder a<br>
while back and was surprised how expensive they are.<br>
<br>
So just a note to Kevin McGregor (the original poster on this thread),<br>
in my experience there really is no such thing as a good & cheap IP<br>
camera.<br>
<br>
Trevor, I'm just curious if you've tried the cameras from Mobotix &<br>
Axis ? Those were the two I was focusing on.<br>
<br>
BTW, the Dlink DCS-3410 is listed on the Zoneminder compatibility list<br>
so that's good. Someone should do a Zoneminder presentation at MUUG!<br>
