I bought the Sricam SP008 and cannot get it to work.

iSPY "Add Wizard" lists 2 types of SP008 and neither work when running auto-detect.
The software from sricam.com/download.html works with this camera but, it does NOT have a motion detection area and I do not own a cell phone for the applet which, from what I read, has an alarm feature.
Here is the previous thread where I was trying to figure it out with more details:
New With Sricam

So..
What I want to do now is, buy a camera THAT DOES WORK if any here can recommend a good one, that is...
Something wireless, outdoor, with PTZ around $100 to $150 would be ideal.

Hopefully, not one coming from China. LOL

Maybe post a few eBAY lnks to potentials would be great?

Thanks in advance!

Sricam is garbage...there is no 100-150 outdoor ptz that is any good...
Why you need ptz?

I got it working using the VLC plugin and it works well.
Sorry.. Cannot afford anything better than Sicam atm. Maybe down the road I'll upgrade.

It is already mounted and working.
Some day, I'll get a POE switch and nice POE cameras on each corner of the house.
What POE cameras you recommend?
I like the ones that PTZ on a programmed setting.
I'd really like one that read license plates and remembers faces and zooms in on things that trigger the motion alarm.
25x zoom so I can zoom in on houses at each end of my street, with parabolics lol
