Thinking of getting a couple of these so what do people suggest?

Needs to be Wifi , Mac OS X compatible and have an iOS app for remote viewing.

I had a DLink 942L that was excellent and ticked all those boxes.

do you mean a wired system to send to a iphone?

I have one of these (actually the non HD version of it).

Ticks all your boxes – works really well.

No Ton, a wireless camera connected to my home WiFi network which I can connect to from an iPad and/or an iPhone

Whats the most cost effective way of getting something like the 2 cams listed to auto trigger and send a video file off site if activated?

EDIT: looks like the Amazon one does – any more experience?

@iamsporticus – that exactly what the Home Monitor one does (Amazon link above). You can set it up to send notifications straight to your phone via the app and/or email when motion is detected. Has a night mode too so works ok in the dark.

Are people using recording software?

I have a Y-cam, but an outdoor one, works well with the Cammy app, I did have a Foscam that was set up to send email alerts on movement (sensitivity adjustable) but it gets very boring having a 1000+ emails a day when it rains.
HTH.

The D Link records to itself and sends snaps via email if required.

I used to have it recording to my NAS.

Thanks for the suggestions

Just remember to change the password or you’ll end up here shodan

I got some from HERE which you can monitor from your iPhone/iPad/anything with Internet access.

Also you can connect externally using the IP address or dynamic IP if yours isn’t static.
