Re: Security Camera Blues
None are brilliant, but iZon from Stem Innovation seem to be ok. I bought 2 for testing and now use them to watch the garden and shed. They had a security SNAFU a couple of years back, but it was patched and they haven't been in the news since. They're getting a bit long in the tooth now though.
If you're going down the off-the-shelf route for these cameras (as opposed to build your own), the best bet is to use one with open firmware (no phoning home) and WPS support, then put them on a separate VLAN partitioned off with an access control list. After that you don't have to worry too much about security holes in the camera itself. But I'm not an infosec expert so maybe others here have better ideas.
