$100-200? You have to be joking. Anything that you will want to actually use starts at $700.

Well I guess it depends on what it is being used for?
No I am not joking we have looked at some like the Axis 206 that seem to work well $175.

We have used Panasonic ip cameras and they are poor quality at the $500 mark. We are getting an ARM ip camera as a demo hopefully this next week, as the Panasonic image is so poor. Like Hal said, it is over $700. And we have had good success with the Arm products(non-ip). We had a cheap($150) Panasonic camera in the office for testing and it was adequate for viewing the office and not much else. Depends on what you want to see. I will see if I can find the model number on that one and the ones we have problems with.

I still avoid IP cameras at all cost. I Just run standard cameras to a DVR and put the DVR on the network. you can still run twisted pair cabling if you like, NITEK makes some nice products for this.

I agree with anthonyh. Enough said for the newbies.
The hard drive still needs to be on a separate application with remote provisions. Like a DVD!

NTSC cameras, though, are stuck at 640/720x480.
You can easily go to 2 or 3 Mpx with IP cameras, which has been proving quite useful in prosecutions, or so I'm told.
