I came across the PLANET ICA-HM830 Panorama IP camera at CommunicAsia 2011 held in Singapore this week. With support for multi-streaming via H.264 and Motion JPEG, the 2-megapixel ICA-HM830 incorporates a fish-eye lens for panoramic surveillance that can replace multiple IP cameras. A virtual PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) function delivers 10x digital zoom for what the company promises to be "extremely detailed images," while a microSD card slot allows for onboard recording without the need for additional software.  Finally, two-way audio is supported, and up to 10 motion detection areas can be defined for email and FTP alerts. The Ethernet-only ICA-HM830 supports 802.3af PoE, while company representatives say a 802.11n wireless model should be coming soon.
