You really get what you pay for on these. The cheap IP cams are mostly too crummy to get anything other than a vague, pixelated image at the distance you'd probably have to mount the camera. You mught take a look at Vivotek which we've found to be pretty good at the lower end of the market. On any IP camera, the lens really makes the difference. Some of the best (expensive) retrofit lenses are made by GBO, but you can get remarkably good quality without spending a fortune by re-puposing a high-quality 35mm lens from an old still camera. Adaptors for this purpose are available from Ebay or B&H.
