Re: [CGUYS] IP camera osx

2007-11-20 Thread Tom Piwowar
I'm looking for a wireless IP camera that can be config'd and managed  
by OSX v1.4.11... I've found cameras in the past that were supposed to run  
under OSX but needed first to be set up under Windows.  As a result,  
I've never gotten one going.

I'm casually following such cameras so I can't cite a specific brand, but 
I have noticd the situation has gotten better. Early cameras required 
Active-X for controls. Manufacturerers soon learned that this was not a 
good thing to do.

Nice story at:

I just did a Google search of wireless camera Mac, without the quotes, 
and saw some promising hits. Did you try that?

Does anyone know of a mfgr or vendor I might check with a higher 
probability of success?

Yes.. but of course not until after I posted my question!

I've been so used to not finding anything that I'd given up.  I found  
the non-ActiveX (is that what used to be called OLE?) cameras that  
Tom mentioned in his reply.  I even found several selling at a site  
called macmall.com.  It looks like the remaining hinderance is me  
shedding a few hundred dollars.
