I saw this evening an interesting review of the _ **Annke C500** _ camera on [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TanqJVTbj-c) by @nygma2004. After watching his video, I have done some homework and I "think" that the C500 provides much of what I need.

However I "think" the C500 only supports _ **H265** _ and not H264. If that is the case, I am wondering whether it will work with the nodes and flows that @kevinGodell has shared until now with the community...

Moreover last week Csongor was asking [questions](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/chrome-can-view-annke-c800-ip-camera-image-but-http-request-gets-401-response/57156) about his C800 (8Mp) camera. So now I am doubting whether his C500 (5Mp) camera's were insufficient for home security for some reason. Hopefully Csongor can share some thoughts here about both camera types from Annke.
