Hi all,

New to the forums, I'm pretty well versed in networking and CCTV, so ill get a couple of things out of the way;

  • I'm not chasing MP's, I'm well aware that of the importance of sensor sizes, etc.
  • I understand the whole you get what you pay for concept.

With that out of the way, im wondering what peoples take is on a half decent budget IP Camera, AUD $80-100.

Needing about 8 cameras, looking around, options seem kind of limited, but leaning toward the RLC-520A even though the sensor size could be better. Planning to hook them all up to a VMS, so not really concerned about cloud apps, and so on. Also not concerned about spyware/monitoring embedded, these cameras will be offline.

I've heard similar regarding night vision. from what ive seen online, it seems acceptable. im not at all concerned at capturing anything more than 5 meters away during the night..

Any other options in mind?
