i want am ip camera that i can view via my home pc, or phone and records with motion and alerts me of a doorbell....


I use an old Android phone for exactly that, using the app IP Cam. It even has 2 way audio so I can frick with my dogs during the day. You can view the webcam on your computer via internet browser or an an app on your phone.

My bad, I didn't mean to copy the doorbell part. It doesn't have the actual doorbell functionality. But yeah I do have it mounted to brick right above my front door, not taped though

"beacons"

$99 for 3

quote:

Estimote Beacons and Stickers are tiny computers. They have a powerful ARM processor, memory, Bluetooth Smart module, and temperature and motion sensors. Powered by a coin battery, they broadcast radio signals through built-in antennas.

Smart devices in range receive those signals and compatible installed apps can then respond. The exact form of that response - whether a notification or another action - is up to you; our platform is fully flexible.

Estimote’s SDK and Cloud tie everything together by granting apps full access to the metadata, including beacon ownership, object type, and precise location. They also enable security and other services on top of the beacons.

get it. its from amazon warehouse so more than likely just the box is damaged and at worst, they'll take it back free.
