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."

    relatively low cost? what?

    These cameras are at least 2-3 times more expensive than a regular camera and the required equipment to do it the regular way.

    These lan cameras are the way to install a horribly overpriced security setup not low cost, not by any means.

    These cameras are great if you have lots of extra money lying around and in your way, otherwise buy regular security cameras, they are much smaller, better built, and available in water/weather proof designs.

    Heck I even have a color/nightvision version in my back yard that is my most expensive camera and it cost $250.00
