Panasonic BB-HCM581A IP camera

I am thinking of getting one of these cameras to look after my house. There is one here, giving views of the Nuta River in Hiroshima, Japan. I have tried it and it zooms very well. Plus, it can be powered from the network switch, that is if the network switch has Power Over Ethernet (POE) as this camera supports POE. Not cheap, but it is capable of stunning images. This is what it has to offer:

• Power over Ethernet (PoE)
• Zoom MPEG-4 Network Camera with 42x Zoom
• High-speed Pan/tilt with Presets, Progressive Scan
• Analog Video Output and SD Card Recording with Audio

More than be found on the website here. I might get a cheaper one because Panasonic makes a whole myriad of them
