 insecure camera; huge design oversights January 1, 2010
Garret Wilson (San Francisco, CA USA)

You'd think that a security camera would get Internet security right. This one doesn't even try.
The camera doesn't support SSL/TLS connections. This means that, every time you log in to the camera across the Internet, your password is going across in the clear, and anyone sufficiently interested can then use that password to log into your camera in your home and watch what you're doing or record their own copy. Furthermore, even without logging in, your communication with the camera is open for the world to see. This a huge oversight that has no excuse; it's like installing new locks in a house and leaving the key under the doormat.
If you try to set up email alerts to notify you of certain actions (e.g. motion detection), you'll find that the camera does not support secure SMTP servers. In other words, every time the camera sends email, it will be sending your email password in the clear, so that interested parties could later log into your email account and do whatever they want.
The product uses a proprietary Internet Explorer ActiveX control, which forces you to use IE instead of a more secure and standards-compliant browser like Firefox. But that's not bad enough. The ActiveX control apparently has no understanding and support of Vista NTFS permissions. This means that in Vista if you try to record to certain directories on the hard drive, it fails with a cryptic error message---even if the user has administrator rights. The only apparent way to get around this is to run Internet Explorer as Administrator (a special Vista super-user that has more rights than even a user with normal administrator rights), which is a bad idea in general and reflects the outdatedness of the implementation.
There is no way to tell the camera to start recording to the local hard drive when some action occurs. Sure, you can have the camera record to a "network hard drive", if you can figure out how to set one of those up. Or you can have the camera record to a USB drive hooked up to the camera, which someone can easily steal along with the camera. Or you can manually record to the local hard drive. But you can't simply leave your browser window open and have the camera only start recording to the local hard drive when there is some activity.
This would be a great little camera if someone with actual security experience had been in charge of its firmware. There is no excuse for these huge lapses in design, ruining what could easily have been a great product.
 Absolutely Awesome!!! December 5, 2009
M. Grant (San Diego, CA)
This little thing has saved us many a sleepless night. My wife had purchased a small dedicated baby monitor for use in the nursery, and you could barely see anything with it. This thing provides a very sharp display.
I'd been shopping for one of these for some time. I finally decided on this model because for the most part, those who have any knowledge of computers thought it was great. Those that don't have a good understanding of computers and how to set up IP's and get into the routers should probably get a wired camera.
Pros: Low light works great. Daylight has some color issues, but I didn't get it to take 10mp pictures to develop. while the colors may not be great, the contrast and sharpness is definitely there. We haven't tried to use the speaker that hooks up to the camera, maybe when our little one is older and we move this by the front door! The provided software works as advertised, not great but not horrible. I've used it create audible alerts based on motion detection and I've recorded my child's movements throughout the night, saving to a NAS.
Cons: it wasn't cheaper. I would like it to have a larger range of focus. It has frozen up on me twice. The unit gets pretty warm. Sound tends to lag picture.
Thoughts: if you want a monitor that will give you a crisp view of what's going on with your kid, and you want to be able to record it and view it from any computer in the house, then this is for you!
Enjoy.
 Convenient, reasonably priced, good customer service, but finicky November 17, 2009

Kind of a pain to set up, not for networking novices. But after it's set up it works great in general. Had some problems after a year or so with it intermittently not working wirelessly but it got dropped a few times too. Overall its the best option available.
Great quality, unique for the price October 14, 2009
Brian Roediger (Columbia, MD USA)
Great product, good quality. Does things others don't for half the price. Suprised at how quiet this thing is when moving. Night vision is impressive. Being used as a high tech baby monitor ;-)
Great webcam October 11, 2009
A. Levin (Park City, Ut. United States)
Finally one that works. The web cam was extremely easy to setup and it worked well. The video is excellent and the accompanying software is good. I tried another web cam by Linksys and compared to this it was junk. I sent it back. Only difficulty so far is getting the email notification to work. Support is excellent. I would recommend you sign up for free DDNS with [...]. Overall I would definitely recommend this product.
