My old cam quit uploading after switching to a new hosting service recently. It was a cheap IP cam and put out very poor images anyway. I also had trouble getting it to upload in the beginning but it finally started working. Customer support doesn't answer emails.
I went insane on the replacement and bought the StarDot NetCam XL 3MP! Ambient is running a package deal promotion right now that runs out at the end of this month. It looked like a pretty good deal considering it came with a shelter, an upgraded lens (4.5mm-13mm Multi-Megapixel worth $250 from SD) and a mini weather station module. The package was put together and shipped direct from StarDot. I'm still playing around with the image but it looks supper compared to my old cam. Here are some cool captures from the old cam and one new one from yesterday for comparison:

StarDot says this cam can handle directly sunlight even with the iris fully open without damage so that's a good thing. I saw this from two different people on another forum as well as on the SD site some place.
Edit: The original cam is running as well now. There was a security setting that had to be disabled server side that was preventing it from working.
