Zonet ZVC7611 Internet IP Camera with Motion detection
Zonet ZVC7611 Internet IP Camera with Motion detection

Pros: It works surprisingly well. Works in low-light situations very decently (might work even better with an IR flashlight?) nice mounting bracket, I ended up zip-tieing it to a lamp using the screw holes (live in an apartment, so putting holes into the wall isn't the best)

Cons: If you don't mount to a wall or something similar, the wire placement is not the best. The software is nice if you use IE on windows, but for us that use firefox/macs, you can still use it once you get it set up. There are two pages that you can navigate to in any browser to see the camera, http://Camera-ip-address/snapshot.cgi and /snapshot.jpg. Those will show a raw snapshot JPEG and a streaming MJPEG. And you can use the regular page to adjust any settings you may wish to adjust. So, it's a fun little camera if you don't mind hacking around to make it do what you want.

Pros: Holds well on windshield (hasn't fallen off since I bought it 6 months ago, even in sub-zero weather) Great price for the quality Nice and long for a closer view and reach

Cons: Car causes phone to shake slightly at times and can make it hard to see.

Pros: Low-priced Gigabit speed zero config

Cons: Lightweight (the cables tend to try to pull the switch off of my desk, some two-sided tape would fix this)
