Has anyone had good experiences with IP cams that have built-in (onboard analytics)? It seems many analytic features require server side assistance, but technology is progressing. Any particular brand/models that have superior onboard analytics for less than $700.00?
 
Interesting, I can't recommend a cam, but I was wondering what type of analytics would you interesting and what would be the use of it?
 
facial recognition, people counting, removed objects. I know ACTi has a few cams that can do some of the simple analytics, but most complicated (facial recognition) analytics require a NVR or server side assistance.
 
Dahua has Intelligent Video Surveillance (IVS), I have a pair of cams with such features on there way and a NVR that supports being triggered by them.. I hear the facial detection and people counting work well but I dont think you can have multiple analytics working at the same time... ie, its only looking for faces or missing objects, not both.

Both of the cameras I have coming were under $200 each, 4MP.. if they work well I have a couple more cameras i'd like to get.

I believe some Hikvision cameras have similar features for the same price point.. the only analytics I have not seen on any affordable cameras is ALPR, those are still in the >$500 range.
