I want to add a wireless camera to my office which will connect to my internet network. Looking for something that:
1) Has night vision/IR 2) Has software that will let me remotely view the camera 3) Will be able to automatically store recorded footage on a local drive in the network I'm trying to find one but it seems a lot of the cameras have really bad reviews

I have been impressed with this one.

I got an 8 channel system from costco made by Lorex.
I am quite happy with it. I can view live feed from my computer, tablet and smart phone. The cameras are entry level. I think IR is only 50-60feet viewing illumination, but you can buy better cameras that illuminate as much as 150' +. I can even set it up to email me if it senses motion. |
| I am using six D-Link wireless IP cameras. Two of which feature PTZ, IR/ Night Vision that I use outdoors. I can access any of my cameras from my smart phone. Cameras also feature a motion activation notification feature, which send a message to my phone if motion is detected. Pulling up a camera via computer or smart phone starts the recording process, cameras also record when motion is detected. The only think I dislike about the cameras is they are not HD. |

That's a little different approach than what the OP is asking for, but it can be effective. Basically, rather than buying an IP-enabled camera, you buy an IP-enabled DVR, and connect it to one or more relatively inexpensive analog cameras. Most of the DVRs run on stable Linux, and have at least one decent-sized hard disk. Most of the analog cameras included in the all-in-one systems are indeed pretty crappy, but upgrading one or two of them isn't expensive ($50-$90 each). |

The most stable one I have found (wireless) is the Axis M-series.
Foscam has a few too... they're much cheaper, and I have one running on my network now. If you want footage saved to a local drive, you may have to set up an FTP server on that drive. Most cameras do not have the ability to mount a network drive as "local" storage. They can, however, email you pictures, or send them to an FTP server. |

They are on sale at tigerdirect for $69.99. I am a retard when it comes to technology and these look pretty easy to set up and monitor.

The IR will make those leggings, that are so popular now, see through when a woman bends over. I noticed this tonight when my wife was checking on my daughter. It looked like she didn't have any pants on at all. |
