Im looking for advice for an indoor cam with built in microphone and speaker for use with the 2 way audio on Blue Iris.
Its going in my office and the 2 way is important because if I am away I often send people in to my office to do things to my instructions. I will not be using the wifi and it will be connected by ethernet cable.
Its important to me that I buy from a genuine UK company, not from overseas or some hole in the wall ephemeral trader. Anyway I have a shortlist of 2, the Hikvision Cube ( eg DS-2CD2443G0-IW ) and the Foscam C2 or C2M.
Has anyone tried either of these with BI and 2 way audio? The Hikvision is exactly twice the price of the Foscam, is it worth the difference? I already have both brands in my system and all have performed OK with reasonable life expectancy. ( Everything bought in the last few years is working just fine ) I understand there have been some security concerns raised over Foscam, are Hikvision any better ?
