IP Camera

I saw an ad on Google about a second generation IP camera which can
also work like a webcam. Does anyone have any experience with this
type of IP camera?

I think EVERY IP cam can work as a webcam!

If your talking about embedding video into a web site, or HTML application,
from a Network Camera, you can do that with all the Panasonic Network
Cameras (IP). It's hardly next generation though.

would be nice if network cameras could display video like a webcam directly
in MSN Messenger, NetMeeting, etc.

I bought four IP cameras from a local security system installer. I
have two at home and two in my shop. I can use my Yahoo Messenger to
show my wife the back room where the supply is while I chat with her.
It works pretty well at home too. I can show my parents in Korea the
baby's room without moving my webcam and my computer to another room.

What model / make is the IP cam that you are using with the Yahoo Messenger,
and is it only with the Yahoo Messenger that it's working, or will it also
work with MSN?

You can! I have used Softcam - http://www.softcam.com to retransmit
streaming video and it was through MSN Messenger. You can use the
software to transmit the IP cam image to anyone with MSN MEssenger,
Yahoo Messenger, or whatever.

I tested several IP cameras (D-Link, Linksys, Veo, TLC, ORite). Only
the TLC IP Camera 8000 could display video directly on MSN and Yahoo
Messenger like the webcam. I found this was a good feature for me,
since sometime I have problems configuing IP cameras to work through
my customer's firewall.

The video quality is also a lot better than the D-Link and Linksys. My
problem is that the camera does not work well in low light conditions.
Actually, none of these low cost IP cameras I tested, works well in
low light condition. I find that only the high cost surveillance
cameras work well in low light conditions, and they automatically turn
black-and-white at night. But, the price is too high for most of my
customers. Does anyone know of an IP camera that can work in low light
condition but cost less than $200?

This sounds interesting!

I've googled for TLC cam, but did not really find anything related to a IP
cam!

Do you maybe have a link to who is making the TLC cam?

Thank you.

I got the TLC Model 8000. It has a link on the box http://www.tlcstream.com .

It also works with MSN Messenger.
