I am thinking about installing some cameras to keep an eye on the house while we are camping. I was looking at the Blink cameras. They use the home wi-fi system to upload video/pictures to the cloud and allow monitoring from a smart phone. Unfortunately they require an upload speed of 2 Mbps minimum. Our lousy CenturyLink only has an upload of from .4 to .75 Mbps. Are there any cameras that will work with this speed? Any help is appreciated.
Given your abysmal Internet speed, I would suggest you should only upload medium quality still shots, and not video. Many IP Cameras have motion sensing and can be set up when needed to send still pictures to your email address when they detect motion. They also tend to allow you to select the quality of the pictures to send. Browsing Amazon.com should show you a bunch.
