Surveillance cameras are increasingly moving away from the analog to the digital domain. Advances in image and video processing silicon, emergence of efficient video compression standards and abundance of cheap storage have all contributed to bringing surveillance cameras to the consumer mainstream. As connected homes become more ubiquitous, surveillance cameras are tending to become network enabled. These IP cameras are used to record surveillance videos while also finding application for casual home monitoring, baby monitors etc. Their networked nature enables users to keep track of the video over the Internet (at work and on-the-go).
We have already reviewed a couple of IP cameras at AnandTech. The Dropcam Echo came across as very consumer friendly, while the Compro IP540 with the Pan-Tilt-Zoom feature was more professional and catered towards businesses.
Today, we will be reviewing Compro's entry level offering, the IP 70. While the hardware itself has been around for quite some time, firmware updates were provided recently to bring support for Seedonk. This is supposed to make the camera more consumer friendly. How good is the Compro IP 70, and what sort of usage scenarios is it suitable for? Read on to find out.
