| Trendnet TV-IP572WI |
Connect the
TV-IP572WI ($170) wireless day/night camera to your 802.lln network, and it
will record video at a high-def resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels at 30 frames
per second. The company's earlier cameras in this price range were limited to
640 by 480 pixels.
The TV-IP572WI
comes with Trendnet’s SecurView Pro desktop software, which can monitor up to
32 cameras. SecurView Pro supports just about any feature that any Trendnet
camera offers with a button, slider, dial, or control. (And that's fine: It’s
better to have such overkill than to be unable to use every feature a camera
has simply because the software fails to expose it.) Also available is a free
SecurView Pro app for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets.
The TV-IP572WI
delivers slightly better video quality than the D-Link DCS-5222L does, but its
footage isn't nearly as crisp as that of the much more expensive Axis M5014.
This Trendnet camera has a smaller footprint than either of those rivals; but
since it's a fixed-position model, it can’t cover as much area as they can. If
you like this camera's feature set, and if you have a Power over Ethernet switch,
you should also look at its PoE cousin, the TV-IP572PI. It's identical to this
model, except it doesn’t rely on an AC outlet, and it costs $30 less.
