Question Can you guys recommend me an IP webcam?

Looking at having some IP-based webcams in my studios at work.....

Any recommendations?

Looking to display them on both 19" TFT and a 50" Plasma

Any particular features you want from the camera?

Axis Communications - Network cameras, IP cameras, security cameras are one of the market leaders for network cameras.

Axis are nice. Good interface and easy to setup.

Mobotix are very very feature rich. You can have two lenses on some models, so different angle coverage or one day and one night. Interface isn't as good as the Axis though but an hour or so gets you going (eg motion detection zones, record to a NAS etc).

Mobotix are cool. Spoke to them at Cebit last year. For their sales pitch, one of the guys within the sales team has decided upon himself to throw the camera around the room before the start of his demostration. He does it to highlight the robustness of having no moving parts.

Thanks - the webcams are basically to act as the visual aspect of a comms and security system within some recording studios. (obviously the audio is sorted )

They may be a little bit overkill, but the main priority is for IP connectivity with a half decent picture. The Axis stuff looks pretty much spot on.
