avander Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I have one Starcam ip camera which does what you're looking for and seems a popular brand here. Bought at a market in Bangkok for 1500THB plus the cost of a microsd card. It's about 2 years old now and I think the prices may have gone up. Resolution is ok but not fantastic. Look them up on Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptHaddock Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Dlink dcs-900L is available from Lazada for about 900 baht. I believe it will do what you want on its own, but I am running it with a security system that handles things like notification. Works well. You can connect to it from your phone.

avander Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Be careful with hi resolution which will use a lot of space on the sd card. I get only about 24 hrs with hires (720 on mine) on a 32gb card then it just starts overwriting the previous days files. 32gb was the maximum sdcard size my ipcam would accept. Get a demo of the ipcam you intend to buy to check the resolution/image quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banana7 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I use the hikvision brand of cams. Wide variety, very sophisticated, most are in the US$80-120 range, if you get them from china via aliexpress. You can get them in BKK, but they are priced higher. They can write to a computer or NVR. I use an NVR. Make sure the cam you get has WDR. I had one that didn't have WDR and only got a shadow of the thief because the light was behind him.

BKKdreaming Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 if its motion detection how could it run 24 hours to fill an SD card unless you leave it on when you are also in the house ? what about also a "7-11" ding dong alarm for when they first get there ? or a pressure alarm rug that goes off when they stand on it ? ( where can you get one in BKK ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( where can you get one in BKK ? ) Most of these devices use continuous video recording and I've set mine up to also record stills as a result of any motion detection overnight. Works perfectly.

ronaldo0 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I bought a P2P camera from lazada. Picture is really good especially the night vision on it . It sends all records to my laptop and I can watch it over anytime I want from last 2 weeks I think it is .Picture on my phone from live feed is clear with good sound and I can speak to whoever is in the house at the time I view it. I use it to watch my dogs who tend to have a party when im not at home ! Think was around 1500 bht and few hundred for micro sd card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One I bought you connect it to Wi-Fi router to set it up and once its set up you can then put it anywhere you want and it works using Wi-Fi . For the phone set up you just download the free programme and run it. You can also move it left ,right , up and down from your phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csabo Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Xiomi Ants. Cheap, wifi, motion, two way intercom microphone, text alerts, mobile app. Be super careful to get the international not the China only version. It can be modified but it's a hassle. You can confirm you got the international model by the serial numbers. Lots of info via Google. Aliexpress has them for $30 but you must must must confirm they are not China version. I got two shipments some were some weren't. No cloud recording but has micro sim can store up to 32 gb Edited September 7, 2016 by csabo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can also configure other DDNS' should you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiang Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There is nothing good, even foscam is shiiite, just buy a cheap Watashio for 3000 thb, it's enough and as good as the more expensive ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
