Right camera for Apex

[bh750]

Hi Im new here but on another forum I learned its pretty difficult to integrate we camera to the fusion app? I have yet to see a consistent, successful recommended method. Even a support chat with Apex said the same. Other than the recent thread with one person recommending a Foscam FI9826 I'm not sure. Any recs?

I use a Linksys WVC80N. Here is a link I was given when setting it up that happens to have a few other working webcams.

I saw someone at a lfs who had a camera integrated nicely on the app. I'm not exactly sure which camera his was but someone working there mentioned a gopro.

I was able to get both Amcrest IP2M-841 and IP3M-941 working with Apex fusion, but only MJPEG stream, which is low quality. I'm not sure, but Apex fusion pretty much only works with MJPEG lower quality stream, unless someone can correct me. So even if you get high resolution camera, the high resolution will only work with the camera software or browser camera software, which is good for personal use and not sharing.

There is, kind of, there's a post about it on the Neptune forums. I was able to get it working but it would only work on the my iPhone and iPad, not my Mac or PC. It seemed to be _slightly_ more reliable with the new nest branded cams, but the dropcam worked as well.

thanks, great info. still amazed there's not a clear, easy offering here for something that I think lots would love (and also touted on all of the material by Apex).

Sorry to necropost but could you share the paths you used to get your Amcrest's to work? I just can't seem to find a permutation that works with Apex.
