Hi all, just a few new wiki pages for those who are interested.

The Foscam F8918 is the newer version of the IP surveillance camera with pan and tilt controls.

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Foscam_FI8918W

Also for those who still have WebDT 366 and want WPA2 security:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/WebDT_366_WPA2

I know most of this will be superceded when the new pad orbiter stuff comes out and probably with the newer android stuff too bu it is a cheap addition. Only no resume from suspend at this stage.

Thanks for great wiki page.

I'm looking really hard and can't find better webcam for this price (60-70$). And also found some great resources for Foscam webcams:

I found non-Foscam branded clone on dealextreme, but not sure if new firmware will work for it:

Where did you buy yours and how much did you pay for it?

Cheers,

I got mine off ebay. I think about $90AUS. Try to get the genuine ones as I think somepeople have problems with the fake ones. Do a search on google for more info but I remember when searching around some of the older model (8908) fakes people had firmware updating issues.

I just ordered one from Dealextreme for 66$ + free shipping, after import duties it will cost me around 90$ also. I read comments on Dealextreme page and last two guys that bought it few weeks ago had no problems with updating with Foscam firmware so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Cheers,
Valent.
