+course just use it as a wireless IP based webcam as well. Some of the advantages of
+using a self contained intelligent camera system are: 
+
+1. An attached USB camera is more reliable than most wifi cameras as it relates to
+connectivity and FPS consistency.
+2. A wider selection of camera resolutions and features for the money. You can
+build a high definition camera (1280x720) for less than $100 US (I paid $88.22
+with free shipping). You can also choose the USB camera that fits the application
+at hand. Swap out the camera for a fraction of an IP based equivalent.
+3. Resilience in terms of network connectivity which isn't required to capture
+video. Once network services are restored the video files can be transferred
+via email, SCP, etc. Most IP based cameras do not have storage hence you lose
+the video stream during the outage. Your BYOC camera can last hours or days
+without network connectivity!
+4. Distributed processing saves you from having a system powerful enough to
+capture all of your camera's video streams and process them. The camera can
+run the same software as a full size system, so in essence you do not need
+a central PC for processing video streams.
+5. Based on a popular Linux distribution allows for easy customization instead
+of the crappy Chinese software on most cheap IP based cameras. You can even
+load a GUI desktop for management if desired.
