[TriLUG] OT: IP security cameras

[Greg Brown]

An, good questions.

Nirvana would be:

Motion detection - prefer to have the camera do motion detection
color w/night vision
I'd prefer jpeg format
light level will vary quite a bit
moving object in the field of view could potentially be moving quickly, 
but not a running speed.  More than a slow walk, slower than a run.
