Default Got two

I'd love to have the megapixel version, but can't find one of those cheap. Instead, I've settled on the standard 640x480 and it works fine. I also splurged for the temperature/humidity probe. Ebay was my source, and they were cheap - but both failed. The good news is that Stardot fixed one for free and replaced the other for not much money. The cameras work good in very cold weather. I added a wireless bridge to mine, so it can work far away from the house, but have found that the wireless bridge fails at about 15 degrees. If you buy a used one, make sure its a V2 and not V1. Those are not supported any more if they have a hardware failure. Its so nice having the camera! For example, today, I'm far away on a business trip, and was able to watch the snow pile up. Its almost (but not quite) like being there.
