This is so unfortunate. I've been wanting to do a security system for awhile now, but it looks like I will have to do it via USB webcam + raspberry pi instead of an integrated IP camera. I really wish there was was cheap IP camera hardware standard where the firmware could be easily flashed with something open source.

Check out the OpenIPCAM wiki[1]. It's not a standard, but it's a start.

Agreed. I ended doing what you describe and, while it works, I would have willingly paid for an off-the-shelf product if it was available
