Any suggestion for 1st time camera ?

Post by pasties4me »

I've just set-up ZoneMinder for the first time and want to try out an outdoor HD Bullet camera that will work first time out of the box with ZoneMinder. Does anyone have any suggestions for something that is easily sourced in the UK ?
After searching online I tried HD-CCTV.CO.UK - but they said they had never heard of ZoneMinder...
AMCREST told me that none of their cameras would work with ZoneMinder...
Now I'm thinking maybe Hikvision ? but I don't now how to be sure it will work before ordering
Is there any make and model of External IP Bullet Camera that is guaranteed to work and can easily be sourced in the UK ?

Pretty rare to find a camera that works that doesn't work with zm, I normally look for onvif. I tend to go for name brand cheaper models like hikvision and dahua. The really cheap no name models work, but invariably have build quality issues.
Got a budget and wish list?
