IP cameras are just one of a number of technologies moving rapidly towards the all-connected world of IP networks.

Check out this article on the BBC Technology website about expected IP TV developments:

We are seeing an amazing move of video to IP (internet) networks.

By 2013 90% of all IP traffic will be video; 60% of all video will be consumed by consumers over IP networks.

Malachy Moynihan, Cisco’s vice-president of video product strategy

And:

It’s about unlocking a whole raft of new capabilities and services. Think of TV as an opportunity to give consumers a gateway to infinite choice.

Eric Huggers, director of the BBC’s Future Media and Technology

The Axis Q1755 HD TV Network Camera received a glowing review in a recent test by PC Pro magazine:

If you want surveillance functions such as clear facial identification or the ability to read car number plates at a distance then the Q1755 is the IP camera of choice. It’s pricey, but its image quality is superb and the range of monitoring and recording features won’t be beaten.

And:

After installing the camera to monitor a nearby car park and associated access roads, we can safely say the Q1755 delivers the best image quality we’ve ever seen. Focus is sharp, colour balance is very good and detail at maximum optical zoom is impressive. On full zoom, car number plates could be clearly read at 60 yards and, dependent on weather conditions, could generally be made out at more than 120 yards away.

And:

IP camera technology has recently come on in leaps and bounds, but Axis’ new Q1755 takes this to a higher plane.

In the latest episode of BBC1’s ‘Wildest Dreams’ series to find a new wildlife film maker they made extensive use of Sanyo’s VCC-HD4000 IP camera.

Four teams each took it in turns to climb down a cliff face and mount the camera to view and record rare Bald Ibis birds on the cliff ledges.

The Sanyo network cameras were fitted with wide-angle lens adapters and set up to record to an SD card; the captured footage was then examined when the cameras were retrieved the next day.

The first challenge is to capture images of the rare southern bald ibis at their roosting site on the ledges of a 60-foot gorge. With a sheer drop to a torrent of white water below them, the wildlife rookies will have to abseil down crumbling cliff ledges and rig state-of-the-art remote cameras to see them. Who will have the nerve, strength and skill to come back with the goods?

The cameras, with their four megapixel sensors and auto-focus performed well and captured good clear images of the birds.

You know what they say – “If it’s good enough for the BBC …

The next 5 purchasers of Sanyo’s VCC-HD4000 from our webshop will each get a free Kingston SDHC 16GB Flash Memory Card.

Sanyo’s official testing has only approved a 2GB or 4GB SD card so far, we’d like to encourage a bit of end-user testing and feedback.

One free card per customer, not per camera.

The programme is available to watch via BBC’s iPlayer for the next month.
