WebCam – vStarCam C7824WIP HD

VStarcam C7824WIP HD ($50USD)

The VStarcam C7824WIP HD looked to be interesting.  However, seems to be lacking in a few categories including the picture quality which is blurry and also seems to be limited to 640×400 through the web interface. Might be interesting for research/education – as has motion for Pan:270°,Tilt:80°; night vision; GPIO (in the web interface — nothing showing on the outside). Also, need to look at the security of these devices.  As Vint Cerf says, he fears the headline “Bank of America attacked by networked fridges” [paraphrased].
