What IP camera do you use?

Finally got the free time to troubleshoot my old Dlink PTZ ip camera. Well, it's dead. The image quality was crap, zoom was useless, but it did serve it's purpose to allow me to be able to visually check for tank inhabiutants swimming, to see the water surface moving, that the lights were on, and if on a long trip an easy way to relax.

There are several, thousand dollar units that are absoulty top notch PTZ, but I'd rather spend the money on fish or coral than a $1k camera. There looks to be a new trend of cloud based cameras, which let's not get started talking about cloud based services...

With that, what camera do you use, how long have you had it and do you like it?

Thanks in advance for the input.
 
The image is a lot better than the post let's on.. For some reason, uploading pictures from iPhone kills the image quality.
 
I use a dropcam hd.

Zoomed all the way out:

Zoomed in 3x for a FTS. (It will zoom in to 4x).

They do make a dropcam pro which I believe zooms to 8x and has better image quality. Though dropcam has been bought out by amazon and from what I've read/seen online the cost of these has gone up and the customer service has gone down.
Interested to see what everyone else is using, might decide to switch to something else.
