Hi All:
In the recent past, I used ZM 1.27 (on Ubuntu 14.x server) for my home surveillance system using web cam (Logitec C270). That was a very basic 1 camera front door monitoring. Now I am going to upgrade my home surveillance system using ZM 1.3, running on a VM hosted in Lenovo server TS140. The server box (with Xeon 3.30 GHz CPU, 1TB HDD, 16 GB RAM) already been purchased. Now I am going to buy at least 4 WiFi cameras, with outdoor and night vision capability.
Could you please recommend reasonably priced WiFi camera(s) for ZM 1.3.
I have went through the hardware compatibility Wiki page, but you may have more updated information from your own experience.
Thanks.

Now, I am giving a second thought for PoE camera over WiFi.
Regardless of choosing WiFi or PoE camera, running cable is a BIG hassle for every installation.
WiFi may not need to run a long network cable, but it needs a safe and secured power outlet/connection near camera.
PoE may give advantage over WiFi signal interference.
Can you please recommend some PoE camera suitable for ZM 1.30 and outdoor/night usage.
