Looking for a webcam that has wide angle lens and 2 way audio
Have a situation where Skype and a normal webcam won't cut it.
Need to have a wireless webcam with wide angle capability as well as two way audio.... and direct access over the internet.
We tried a camera by Nest but it refused to connect to our wireless - their tech support group was unable to resolve.
Any suggestions of a product that would allow this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

That page is very helpful... thank you.
One last question ( I hope).
In one of the reviews (a few years old), it mentioned that on the remote PC that was connecting to the camera, the size of the image they could see was limited to a rather small window (maybe 4x6 inches) i.e. the person viewing the image would be limited to a very small portion of their computer screen.
Is that still the case with the newer versions of this product?

Never mind. Found my answer. Viewing over the internet will give a very small image.

What is the resolution of my camera's Live View through the mydlink portal?

If you are viewing your mydlink camera from a PC on the same local network, your camera's Live View will be at VGA resolution (640 x 480).
If you are viewing your camera remotely over the Internet, you camera's Live View will be at QVGA resolution (320 x 240).
Thanks for your help... you get all the points.

Wish I could give you a degree answer on the wide angle but don't really know. Application is for a personal trainer's clients - 2 people at one location, so we want to have two people side by side visible. Do you think this could do that?
