[2000UltraDeluxe]

I bought one of those cheap ones, mostly because it was cheap. It has a telnet server enabled with 123456 hardcoded as root password. It's also sending FTP and email passwords to some chinese server in cleartext, and seems to desperately hit various DNS servers with requests for cryptic domain names when internet access is blocked.

To this day, I still won't connect it to my network, and don't really consider that class of cameras an option -- and from what I hear, mine is not a unique experience.

There are obviously alternatives on the market, but they're rarely cheap.
