    Play and/or convert .264 files using OS X or Linux

    Yeah, that file was created using the proprietary, Windows-only conversion software. I'd like to avoid using Windows at all if possible. In addition to speeding the video up, the conversion deletes the sound.

    Play and/or convert .264 files using OS X or Linux

    You'd think such a cheap camera by an unknown manufacturer would be relying on something somewhat open.

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01

    The products I have available to me locally are limited. I paid the equivalent of $67 for it. The next day I bought a D-Link 932L for inside the apartment. I paid the equivalent of $107 for it, which is more than twice its actual value. Imagine how much just "good" products end up costing ...

    My experience with a "vipcam" A192V2N01
