Yep, I'd just love to own the Toshiba IK-WB11A. Most people sell it for
$599. Sometimes Amazon sells it for less, but I'm tempted to spend the
$599 at a local retailer, in case I need to return it. I've had trouble
with Network Cameras (DLink), and will not tolerate speaking to an 18 year
old nerd in tech support who has no idea why the product doesn't work.

My dream is to get the Toshiba, put it on a UPS along with my broadband
modem and router, and have images uploaded to my secure ftp site. Then if
anybody breaks in, and even cuts the power, they'll still be photographed.
The phone lines are secure enough that I don't have to worry about them
getting snipped. Is this feasable?



Sure it will work fine. Another thought is that the camera itself has a SD
slot built in so even if it can not send the pics wireless or wired ( This
can use either ) it then will start storing them local on the SD card.
Great solution for a 24/7 approach. Even at night this has several options
to increase the iris dwell time in order to let more light in. Even in my
remote location it still shows a usable picture from 2am. Very cool.
Overall great cam with a mile long list of options. Some problems can be
expected though from not enough bandwith from a remote location. I have
cable and will saturate the u/l this if I use too high update time and too
large picture.

Rich stuff but I managed convice myself its was a very cool toy. To use it a
bizz enviroment as a security tool is very feasible.
