We use these in our retail store. We need motion detection for nighttime and snapshots during the open hours, the ability to push the images offsite quickly, and the ability to snag live snapshots from our web server via our blackberry phones, and connect directly via the internet.
This camera does it all at a really good price, especially if you look at other commercial solutions. Not a single problem with the stability of the camera, after 2+ years!!! The power supplies last about ... Read More
Rating: - Panasonic Pet CAm BLC1A
I thought the camera worked great. The set up was not difficult but be aware you will need to purchase a router and a cat 5 cable if you do not have one.
Rating: - WORKS BETTER THAN EXPECTED
This is an EASY cheap way to check in on your baby/sitter. FORGET it if your a mac user. I have two macs and 1 PC on my network, after an hour reading the Mac directions here I gave up. Took 5 minutes to set it up with the cd on the PC. After set up YES you can see it online, log in online anywhere to see it, even tried on an iphone. The night time feature is not so hot so I set up a small 15 watt light in the baby's room and it was a-ok :) I purchased a 2nd camera and it does not want to go live ... Read More
Rating: - Good, small package with some limitations
I recently had something damaged ($$$$) in my apartment and both cleaning lady and Super denied involvement, so I figured that at least going forward I should be smart about my stuff.

This device has a somewhat odd shape which, together with the bright white enclosure makes it stand out a little ... Read More
Rating: - Worth the money!
This camera works really well. I have been using the D-Link 900 series cameras for years but this camera is a breath of fresh air. It's very easy to setup. It will stream video to just about any web browser. It will also stream motion video to the iPhone!
Night video is very clear for a camera in this price range. It will pickup any object in very low light conditions. Much better than the D-Link cameras.
The buffering feature is awesome. You can set the camera to take one ... Read More
