I have used a Panasonic BL-C230a IP camera for nearly a decade and have loved its features even though it was a bit difficult to set up. It does have end to end encryption, albeit the SSL protocols it uses now are old and are now compromised. Moreover, the IP camera is showing its age and it becomes unavailable from time to time.

I am looking for a new IP camera which has security on its forefront. I am especially looking for a IP camera that supports end to end encryption (not just WPA on wireless), but something like https throughout the entire communications link. For example, when I look at the IP camera video from my web browser, it should be via https all the way from my browser to the IP camera, with no unsecured communications in between. Moreover, I am a bit leery of the IP camera sending video to some cloud storage service, so I would like an IP camera that does not do that. So here are my requirements:
  • End to end encryption, with ability to set up accounts on IP camera
  • Prefer not to send or access video via cloud service
  • No monthly fees
  • Night vision
  • Email alerts on triggers
  • Motion/audio detection
  • Standalone IP camera if possible (don't want to buy a base station)
  • Two way audio
  • Android app or at least accessible via IP Cam Viewer app
  • 1080p/720p
  • Wide angle and/or pan/zoom capabilities
  • Secure wireless
I would appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!
