Looking for a couple of bubble cameras for hallways

[wrybread]

We have a possible security issue in our building and I'm looking for a recommendation for bubble ptz cameras.

- ideally would connect via WiFi but could run cables

- good in low light

- ideally can save it's motion events to a nas

- decent interface. I've been using old Dahua PTZ cameras for other purposes that require IE. Ugh.

- ptz

Any thoughts or recommendations by chance?

IE is still required for most cams, no matter the brand. Don't use Wifi for surveillance cams if you expect reliability.

Thanks for that. Does Does Dahu not offer any wifi cameras in this class?

I was hoping for a wifi camera that also has local storage as backup. I've had fantastic luck with Nest cameras, which use wifi. But the service is prohibitively expensive especially in a multi camera setup.

They have a few, but as pointed out, not many here would use it for anything other than pet or kid watching

I don't get why people think they'd be any less reliable than wired since both store their data primarily interally. I suppose for alerts they'd potentially be less reliable, but for watching the footage through the camera's interface they'd be the same.

And furthermore I use a Nest Camera for security currently, and it has yet to miss a single motion event, that I'm aware of at least. And it gets tested by my girlfriend and myself mutliple times a day when we walk by it. But $120/year plus the price of the camera is just a bit much, especially for multiple cameras.
