Hi. ok better to open a thread for that.
I was in discussion with circuitb about IP cameras, and yes definitively, there is a subject here, and need of exchange.
Actually i m not finding the hardware of my dreams, wich would have in fact the following techs specs:
1:resolution 1280x1024 ( minimum)
2:25 fps or 30fps ( minimum)
3:focus, shutter, exposure manually or driver setted, without automatism for light exposure ( very important for stage use)
4:IP Camera sending an image in different format of compression, or different size, enabling use of wifi bridges ( 25Mbs real available transit)
5:an image of quality in terms of CCD ( colors, contrast) wich will be used visually
6:possibility to exchange simply optics without unbuilding the device ( C or PinHole optics ok )
7.wdm drivers to access it directly throught videoIn node without third party software
I m actually really more believing in IPCams, about connectics, unpluging while in use aspect and lengths and solidity of cables.
but security cams have strange reactions usually with light ( they must see everything), and industrial camera are generally done for LAN and not WAN so they are Gige.
SO, i would like really to exchange on that topic and have your feeling or links for interresting products.
voilà ! ;-)
