these r now standard features (except for audio). i suggest to get a dedicated nvr for recording as the hdd will be 24/7 write or get a big sd-card to use it record local.
2 way voice conversation only possible for camera with built-in/external speaker.
note that ip camera are still costly when compare to hdcvi camera.
IP cam should not be expensive.
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4433938My cheapo cam still working and recording to my NAS as we speak even at night when its dark (has built in infra red). I can also check out whats going house in the house remotely move the view by just swiping my phone via the supported app plus it has two way communication with using my phone with people in the house.
Few gripes though due to cheapo:-
1. Camera fell down the other day and color gone, now video in b&w
2. The motion detector hit and miss, sometime got alert on the phone and sometime none maybe due to connection.
3. Cannot power the cam using network cable (POE) have to pull usb plug from somewhere
Anyways before anyone invest on more expensive ip cam, they should just try out cheapo one and learn how things work especially when using advance surveillance software like synology
i have listed out what's important on any cam in that thread.
