Question

Hi All, I want to install an outdoor IP camera at the front door of my house. I have searched the Fibaro forum and read all of the posts on cameras, which were very helpful.
I managed to setup my Samsung SII as an IP camera which is pretty cool, but off topic (
Please login or register to see this link.
)My question is, does anyone have an opinion on the best IP camera to buy?
By best, I refer to:
- the quality of the camera
- how weatherproof it is
- how tamper proof it is
- how well it integrates with Fibaro (not sure this matters given that it will be an IP camera, but I am guess that there are models with more functionality than others)
- how easily I can setup a scene to switch my tv over to view the camera feed when someone rings the door bell (once again, this question may be independent of the camera itself)
Would you install a wired camera hard-connected directly to your router to make it more secure or is the consensus that a wireless IP camera is secure enough?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help.
