[mmaimcal] Re: Requirements for surveillance cameras

[Jeff Mangum]

Hi Al and Eric,

Don't forget about the ATF webcams too (http://atf.nrao.edu).  I am
quite happy with these cameras (Axis 2120 network cameras; see
http://www.axis.com).  Since they are their own webservers, you only
need to plug them into your network and you are on the air.  Quite
rugged too.  The ATF webcams have been running for 3+ years without
failure.
