watch techmoan then decide .... how **** they are



Been looking at the wired version of these for over a year.
Prices are too high for 9 inch ones with 15V supplies. Many of the 7"
ones have poor resolution. The cameras generally are narrow angle and
IR lit. You really need 110 degrees and white LEDS. To get more than
4 monitors, you need to amplify and split the viedo. You need 15V
supplies to keep the units compatible with wireless door opening and
unlocking.


Jeez, just get a Raspberry Pi and a camera for it, and connect it to
your home wireless network.
