iCam Support / Ethernet vs WIFI
« on: January 26, 2014, 11:32:47 AM »
I need to monitor my glass furnace, specifically the digital readout on the control panel, and I need to be connected via android phone/ipad. The control panel is fixed, and the location can be quite warm, so I need to locate about 10 feet away. Have power, can get Ethernet to location, but the display is about 1 1/2" by 3" with green backlit information. If I can't read the info, system is useless. I don't need to record, and movement/audio are not relevant, as the numbers don't change much. A quick video with my phone reveals a sort of rippling but numbers are readable
How I select a camera for this application?
Is there a downside to using the Ethernet connection to the camera? Wifi is undependable in this location.
I am NOT a techie, (I just make glass) so the simplest install will be the most useful. Failing simple clear detailed instructions.
ThankS!!
