    CCTV Camera at Home - To Monitor Maid & Toddler

    Hi bianz I'm afraid I can only comment on my own experience with Cam2life and Dlink. So can't make a comparison with the rest. For mobile broadband, if you mean using it on your iphone, it should work, even a low speed plan. I use a 1M service I get free from Starhub, and it works fine...

    Hi Kawaii The first suspect would usually be the dyndns updating service. Why are you using the dyndns updater instead of your router to update dyndns? I found the windows version of dyndns updater not very reliable when I was using it in the past. I will PM you to discuss further.

    Most cameras allow you to set the bandwidth you want the video to stream at. I don't think there is an "official" minimum speed, but I found streaming at 512k to be quite good. So I'd suggest that you get something at least 512k, preferably more since you may not get what you are promised most...

    Hi Musicbox If you are planning to view your cameras at home from the internet, what is important is the upload speed rather than the download speed because your camera video is uploaded to you. So that is the more important number rather than the download speed. I believe the upload...

    Hi knuckles Wow. 3 wireless ip cameras for less than $500 sounds like a real good deal. Just curious, does it support recording to a NAS? I had a quick look at the user guide, and there is no reference to recording to a NAS, but there were some comments that it was possible in the HWZone...

    Hi Yu Fang Have no experience with the M1/Singtel service, but just want to let you know that all the capabilities you like with the M1/Singtel IP camera is available (except the SMS function) on most standard IP cameras. Getting a M1/Singtel service means monthly payment for the service...

    If you have an ipad or iphone, you can download the program called mcamview. There should be a lite version that's free for testing. Once that is installed, you can add a camera and password to have a look at the camera. For demo, you can use the following camera information: ID...

    Yes, the cameras work for both iPhones and iPads. For recommendations, it depends on your needs and your budget. My favourite is the Cam2life IC-502w when I had an iphone. Being able to move the camera to look around the house using the iphone was really cool.

    One thing I forgot to address, the storage capacity. With the IP cam, some models record directly to a network storage device. So you can buy a NAS (Network Attached Storage) from Sim Lim with capacities in the Terabytes (1000 Megabytes) which can probably record months worth of video. The NAS...

    Hi hee hee Great. I think cctv and ip cams have their advantages and disadvantages. Here's what I like about ip cams. 1. Wireless IP cams need no ugly cabling around the house, and you are right, IP cams wireless are much more secure and uses standard wifi, so less prone to interference...

    CCTV Camera at Home - To Monitor Maid & Toddler

    Hi heehee Do you mean webcam, or IP camera? Reason I ask is webcams, to my knowldedge, attach directly to the PC, usually over USB. Never heard of a wireless webcam before. And they typically don't work at all without a PC. If you have a webcam in mind that does work wirelessly, please let me...

    Hi Clare Wow, didn't know that the going rate for configuring service is $120+. If anyone needs such configuring service, do PM me. I'm sure I can do it for you for less ;-) And I do agree. Dlink service hotline is very bad.

    Hi chubby_tiger The cheapest camera I know of is the DLINK DCS-2121. I own a couple of them, and they support iPhone viewing. But you need to configure port-forwarding on your router to get it to work. Believe it's about S$199 at challenger. The cam2life cameras are also built to design...

    CCTV Camera at Home - To Monitor Maid & Toddler

    Hi yunzz Sorry for the late response. To answer your questions: 1. Yes, it supports iphone monitoring. And per my earlier post, it allows you to rotate the camera from the iphone if you buy the rotatable version, something not really possible with the DLINK. 2. In terms of ease of...
