LAN Camera Review

Posted by timothy on from the please-mind-your-ps-and-qs dept.

xulphlux writes "The guys over at Tom's Hardware have an excellent review of 4 LAN cameras. While not currently commonplace as of yet, they have good potential for relatively low cost security uses. Keep an eye on the kids outside, your sports car out front, or the good looking girl next door... A couple even have built in 802.11b so no need for wires."

      For those who consider pointing a webcam at her, it doesn't. Will there be a Slashdot story about the hacker of the female persuasion who roots the network cam pointed at her?

    They have embedded web servers?

    Which one will get /.'ed first? Which one bursts into flames first?

    The Axis one was $299.. they've really come down in price over the past couple of years.

    I just thought you should know.

  5. Yeah but at what price? by The+Rev · · Score: 2, Funny

    All I can say is that for over $400 the girl next door better have a great ass!

    The next time I plan to commit a robbery, I'll remember to have my army of zombie bots packet flood all the internet cameras on location.

    Then I'll get into my button-down shirt, put on my clunky glasses taped together, pull my pants waaaay up high, put a pocket protector on. I'll use a fake beard to hide my face.

    I'll get into my car with the bumper sticker LISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSP that stretches all the way across it. I'll then go to wherever I rob, demand all their money . On my way out, I'll have my sidekick "Script-Kiddie" tag "w3 0wn j0000" along the door of the institution.

    We'll spend the money on machine and bandwidth. We're ultimately saving enough money to afford a rig that can proverbally "Slashdot" the site Slashdot.

    Maybe I'll impress Malda. Maybe he'll make me the official "Filterer of stories already submitted." Maybe not. F*sk that. My site will have geek news... and porn! Enough porn to destr--- err, take over a website.

    I tried getting an English tutor for "Script Kiddie", but he's already started working his way into the system.

    Shit.
