Use almost any IP-based web camera on OS X
Authored by: rbsandkam on Mar 18, '08 10:01:59AM

Anyone looking for a decent MacOS compatible IP camera should check out the Trendnet TV-IP100 (and the wireless version TV-IP100W).
Amazon has them for just under and just over $100 respectively.
Mine worked fine out of the box.
No trouble setting up.
You can choose between ActiveX and Java.
Admin interface is web based and works fine in Safari and Firefox.

The TRENDnet cameras look interesting. Can you program it to record while you are gone. Or by Mac compatible do you mean that the web interface itself works fine from your browser? Thanks!

EvoCAM software is the way to go!

For $30 you get a bunch of features such as multiple camera support - over IP, USB, etc, recording, snapshots, motion sensing etc... Very nice interface with a a"LOT" of features. AND very quick support from the author! I'm using it with two Trendnet camera's and it worked very well until, my router died and I have to now reconfigure the IP's on camera's for the new router.
EvoCam (Mac only) is a MUST buy if you plan to have an IP camera along with your Mac.

I own a TV-IP100W.This is not a good IP cam, the features are very poor compare to axis, sony, panasonic, mobotix webcams. I've installed all these différents IP cam. According to me the 'less worse' is axis (for instance the axis 207W for inside use).
The CCD quality is not good at all in the TV-IP100W, no motion detection, ...

The LNE 3003 ip wireless security camera is now mac and iphone compatible. You have to purchase additional software for $30 at EvoLogical http://www.evological.com/evocam.html

I don't know how well it works with a mac and iphone, but with a PC, it is extremely easy and highly recommended. Hopefully, it will get the same reviews with the Mac crowd.
