Here is a short list of a few outdoor web cameras that we recommend.   However, nearly *any* IP camera will work with our servers, so feel free to bring us your own and let us know what it is and we’ll get it to work.

The price differences generally have to do with 1) the level of optical zoom of the camera 2) the level of weather proofing and 3) the type of mount.

If you haven’t seen it yet go here to read about our web camera streaming services: https://hosting.brownrice.com/web-camera-software

When your camera is purchased, installed (we’ll need access to the camera on port 80 and port 554) and online contact us and we’ll get it streaming for you so you can easily embed it on any web site!
