My oldest cam is cheap, no name Chinese crap. Almost 7 years old and the only problems have been spiders, wasps and other assorted critters being attracted to the ir. It's an outdoor bullet cam that's mounted under the eve of the house and pointed down the driveway. I need to replace it cause it's not POE and I don't like the idea of having an extension cord and wall wart in the attic.

Just saying there are exceptions. A few months back I bought a half a dozen POE dome cams for 30 bucks each. So far they have been flawless and serve my needs nicely. The worst cams I've ever used were Foscams and it's wannbes like Hootoo, etc. One day, when I win the lottery, I'll move up town and build a money no object be all do all system. But for now I do the best I can with what I have.
