    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    Thanks for all the good suggestions. I'm familiar with most of the options you've described. I don't need to make DVD's from my security alerts so, the economy and efficiency of VGA has worked very well for me - I don't need an HD camera. There are special circumstances, one of which is no...

    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    My clips are 20s of AVI at 640 x 480 (VGA) and average around 200KB. The largest file I've seen is around 350KB. I don't remember what codec I selected - probably H.264. My email limit is 25MB inclusive. I think the Asante max resolution is XVGA (1024 x 728) which I had no problem attaching...

    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    Thanks for the info. I'll check with the manufacturers you mentioned. I've been using my Asante for many years with no email problems receiving 20 second VGA videos of the event. VGA hasn't been a problem since my camera is about 10 feet from the event. Amcrest and Trendnet also list cameras...

    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    Thanks for info. I don't want to deal with offsite FTP but local storage is desirable. I've been very happy with the email video/alert system I have now. In my own experience, both laptop and desktop will be taken and what's secured will be vandalized for spite. Hiding a NAS drive would...

    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    Attaching the 10sec event video to an email means offsite video storage/alerts with no fees. If a burglary occurred, I'm sure my computers would be taken along with any local FTP files. The device neutral HTML and my lack of knowledge are my biggest problems. I was browsing Amazon and Amcrest...

    My Asante is HTML driven and doesn't require 3rd party SW - you log into the cam with a browser and do everything from it's IP. I've called a couple manufacturers and have been told everything they make requires a smartphone. Maybe if someone could recommend a brand, I'll give them a call.

    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    I have a 5 year old Asante network IP cam that does everything I want and, I need something similar. I'm not very familiar with cloud cams but, from what I've read, I don't think they'll work for me. I seem to be running into a dead end. It is surprising me I'm having such a hard time finding...

    No Smartphone, need IP camera/security suggestions

    Hello. I'm new to the forum so I hope this right place for this post. All the IP cams I've looked require a Smartphone which I don't have. I like the extra features of Piper and Canary type stand alone systems but they require a Smartphone. I would need at least email alerts with recordings...
