OpenIPC notably doesn't list products & things you can buy.

Their "supported hardware" is what chipsets they support! It's up to you to go "do the research" or whatever to find out what cameras that might be!

I've bounced hard off OpenIPC in the past for this reason. That said I think the hikvision I bought a couple years ago is supported.

I've looked at the OpenIPC sponsors. It looks like there's a huge market in Eastern Europe to install a camera at the entrance to your apartment building, and then charge your neighbours for camera access as a value-added service, e.g., a shared intercom. Also, to keep an eye on the shared courtyard (dvor24). Pretty ingenious, if you ask me!
