HD Video Camera?

Go with the Foscam HD Camera, it's way under your budget, around the $150 mark and you also have the ability to tilt and pan, integrated mic (not that you really need sound) and IR lens for night vision in case you want to see your fish sleeping lol.
Did you ever consider it being your phone/services? I mean, I have the regular foscam and their mobile software and it works perfectly fine for me. The only thing is that the picture could be a little better (not that it's horrible now) but I can't see the HD one not looking any better than my regular one.
I have both actually i bought the hd one first! Then i was so unhappy because i was using it to talk to my son and wife, i bought the 8910. Rather sacrifice a little quality for the good mic and pan and tilt function working properly
The non hd one I think 8910? It isn't as clear. But the mic works perfect and it pan and tilts very quickly and accurately.
The hd (9820 or 8920?)one the quality is only a little better. Very marginal. But I click the pan once and it turns a ridiculous amount or doesn't move at all. It is so annoying. I bought the hd on first and was so disappointed.
Ps. I have fios. It definitely is t the wifi bandwidth.

Well then...thank you very much for the feedback!
I was considering the HD one as an upgrade for the regular one so I could get a clearer picture of my DT and use the lower quality one in my equipment area but now I guess I have to reconsider my options.
Have you tried or looking into any other cameras after your disappointment?
no I havent looked into an alternative. I have the HD one on my tank right now about 5 or 6 ft away. I put the HD one on my tank since i wasn't using it to see and communicate with my newborn and wife any longer. Im not impressed to be honest, it is better than the non hd foscam. Ill have the password valid until tonight 7PM. I guess it is good for a fish tank if you dont pan and tilt much and don't need the mic at all.
use internet explorer. others don't really work.

P.S. I had a hard time finding an iphone app that ran the new foscam also. I wasted 5.99 on the "foscam" app that wasnt made by foscam and didnt support the new software. H.264.

I've been looking at the GoPro Hero 3 for work. I'm thinking it's probably better since it's capable of 4k making it a little more future proof.
