I need to replace the post light in front of my house and I think it
might be neat to buy a light that has a wireless camera mounted inside
it. I could point the camera at my front door to see when guests/
deliveries arrive.

Do you know of such a light/camera?

Thanks,
John

Not that I have seen but it could be easily done with products sold
online checkout www.supercircuits.com

The two el-cheapo web cams I have played with (one wired, one
wireless) do not seem to have whatever it takes for
sufficiently-clear images/continuous motion.

OTOH, I'm currently fooling around with a IP PTZ camera that
would do the trick - but it cost about $400 and it needs a wire.

I, too, would be interested to hear from those with more
experience/knowledge.

the party ringing the bell comes up either in black and white or I
believe colour on the handset inside the home (depending upon what
model you choose and what you want to spend)

These work well but certainly won't give you the coverage or an
outside mounted camera.

If he hasn't after 9 years he never will

Ha. Check out public works. City of San Diego. They put in thousands
of lamp posts that have cameras and are integrated into a smart system.

The residents threw a temper tantrum about it, and the company claims
they can't turn them off without turnign off the lamp.

Wireless for a lamp post is kind of stupid though. No matter how good
your batteries your light will die in a few weeks at most. If you have
to run power, might as well run cable or twisted pair at the same time.
