anyone using ip cameras as part of a home security network?

[ThE gOg]

Had some feckers in my shed in the last few days, didn't take much just some out of date booze but it has spurred me on to set up some cameras in and around my house. this can then be monitored using one of the many android apps available.

have bought a foscam f18918w to have a play with, if all goes well i'm probably going to get a couple of the foscam f18904w external ones for the exterior. then a couple more of the indoor types possibly even the cheap clones that are available. they get mixed reviews on amazon, either 5 stars or 1 stars but from reading some of the reviews it looks like its more user error than anything else.

anyone else running something similar? or have any advice?

I recently installed two and ordering another two after xmas of cameras which are the same as the foscam, prob from the same factory.
Very easy to view on my iphone using IP Cam Viewer, and they have audio both ways so i can chat with anyone who might be robbing me lol.

all the cameras are recording to a small pc hidden away via wireless so even if they see the cameras they wont have a clue where the recorder is or if they even are recording.

i have one, it ftps on motion detection, no need for a pc
resolution isnt great but works fine other than that

I have 8 foscams. 6xFI8918W and 2xFI8910W. 4 covering external views and 4 covering internal views. I like them but I get shiteloads of email activations from the motion detection - trouble is you can never find the sweetspot with the sensitivity, it's either too sensitive or not sensitive enough - so I live with the extra activations just to be sure.

I use Surveillance Pro on my iphone and Security Spy on my iMac to monitor them.
