Hello,
I am looking at buying a couple IP Cameras for my home. I realize that I shouldn’t place the cameras in “sensitive” areas, but at any given time, any area can be sensitive. So, I am proceeding my quest with this in mind.
I am looking for an IP camera with the following features:
1) Pan & Tilt
2) Color
3) Wifi and LAN capable
4) Contains an SD card for local storage
5) Utilizes UV LEDs for night “vision”
6) Has the capability of being hosted by a 3rd party company for cloud storage, but not required
Now, I know that this all exists, so you’re probably thinking, “there are millions out there, just pick one”. However, I need all of these features alongside the following requirements:
1) Must be able to be accessed securely (1024 or 2048 bit encryption).
2) Must be accessible either within network, or from the other side of the world, WITHOUT requiring a 3rd party involvement (other than the internet itself). In other words, if I don’t want to access the camera via a cloud service, then I want to know that I can go directly to the camera, perhaps access it through an equally secure webpage hosted on my network at home. I currently get into my network via ssh from anywhere in the world.
3) Must be able to copy, scp, or store files on a remote system at the direction of an authorized user whom has logged in remotely. Say there is a fire that is noticeable on camera, or burglars whom are aware of the camera, I would like to have the files moved or potentially moved on request to another location.
The camera that I am targeting right now is the PIPCAMHD82 from Pyle, but I’m not sure if I can bring in the security requirements that I need. The most important feature is the need to access the camera directly and securely. Storage can be worked elsewhere. But, I would like to be able to transfer the video files to another location, perhaps a NAS or RAID.
