Panasonic PAN BB-HCM581A MPEG Network Camera —
The video quality is awesome crisp, clear video with good colors. With the 21x optical zoom, you can see far away, even read the fine print on a business card about 20 ft away. The almost 360 pan-tilt helps capture large areas very well e.g. a big hall
It has night-vision which helps see in the dark. The camera can be mounted right side up (e.g. on a desk) or upside down (e.g. on the ceiling) - the video can be flipped so it appears in the correct orientation.
Motion & Alarm alerts are available which are great for Video security.
It has good audio quality and the audio source can be connected directly to the camera, which eliminates noise. Good for broadcasting an event, a company meeting, a video conference etc.
I use the Panasonic BB-HCM581 with TenM3 Internet service. With TenM3, I can View and Record 24x7. Do not need DVR or any equipment and I can use the service on-demand, both help keeps costs low. Many friends see my camera-feeds at the same time. TenM3 makes it possible.
Highly recommend it.
