Cameras donated/tested for the project will be graded in to three categories as follows: Excellent, Average, Other.
| Average | IP3M-954E | Works out of the box for configuration. Camera exterior is well constructed and should last a long time.
* Had trouble getting good frame rate on image pull which is what ifetch-tools utilizes. |
|
| Excellent | APM-J011-WS | Works out of the box. Camera web interface can now be utilized with Linux+Firefox so upgrading rating to Excellent. | |
| Excellent | 2100, 210, 206, 207, 221 | Easy to work with out of the box, excellent frame rates, and tech support is very good. | |
| Excellent | D-Link DCS-930L | Easy to work with out of the box and inexpensive. | |
| Average | HNC320W | Works out of the box, inexpensive and sturdy. I only have a HNC320W wireless unit to test. | |

*TV-IP201(P), TV-IP301, **TV-IP320PI, TV-IP512(P), ***x-(TV-IP314PI)-x | Works out of the box, inexpensive and sturdy. Takes cctv lenses. * On the TV-IP201(P) can get duplicate frames on short padded jpeg pulls. ** On the TV-IP320PI it requires addon software that appears to be IE only for username and passwor configuration. All other settings I cared about I could set from a generic browser. *** On the TV-IP314PI support was no help to find url for snapshot. Camera performs poorly on heavy url pulls. |
|
