was wondering if any ip cam will work with ARC im looking at this one on ebay
www.ebay.com/itm/Wireless-Night-Vision-IP-Camera-WIFI-Audio-Color-Cam-/280725386531?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415c897523
and if its possible to use the pan and tilt on it
Below is an IP Camera Adapter that I found (not sure if this is the same one being discussed or not). I tried it but could not get it to work as this adapter only works with MJPG or static images which my camera does not. I can pull the video stream from my IP camera using VLC Media player. I just need to find an adapter that will work. Another app out there is ANY Webcam that I have heard some folks have gotten to do what I am looking for...but still have not had any luck.
Hope this helps a little with others trying to integrate ip cams to ARC.

I ordered a similar camera off ebay a couple of weeks back. It should have cleared customs by now so I'm expecting it the next day or two. The EZB IDE should still recognize it as a valid camera (hoping) but you won't have access to the tilt/pan features. Based on the actual cam (there are many clones out there) it should ship with an OCX control that you can embed within a form. This of course means utilizing the sdk over the EZB IDE. Secondly at this stage I can't say what functionality is embedded within the control. I purchased the camera as an experiment.
I'm looking to do some image processing using vb.net (or c#) and sql so at this stage I am uncertain whether I'll be utilizing the EZB camera routines or something else. Either way, I may have some additional answers later in the week, time permitting. I can't test with the EZB board for a while yet as I'm at bottom of the shipping list (still flagged as new order). Hopefully my order will clear within the next couple of weeks.
