Editorial Reviews:

This network camera is truly easy to install and use in most cases. With industry standard automatic configuration (UPnP), the camera and your router or PC will automatically decide the best settings allowing you to access your camera without any complicated setup. Once connected, using a simple Web browser, just enter in your free, permanent Web address which comes with the camera and you can see and move the camera! Its that simple.

Conclusion: Works well


Review: This product functioned as described, was easy to set up and the image quality in both the 320 - 200 and 640 - 480 vga mode was very good.

Plugging into a wireless access point allows you to bridge connections.

Four stars since it does not support sftp or https uploads, otherwise very nice deal.

Conclusion: Great bargain price i got two white ones though. read up on tech


Review: I've got a very high end version (PTZ-360 20x optical zoom) and the core of the o/s is the same as this camera which was a gold box item. 80% of the functions were the same.

1. throw the camera on your network-> panasonic sells a really good ethernet over power kit. If you search around you'll find its rather cheap. this kills the power and network in one stone. i use one master and 11 slaves in my house to do powerline networking.

2. the camera is odd in that it disregards the dhcp server and jumps to the x.x.x.253 address on your network. so if you have 192.168.1.1 as a router the camera jumps out of the box to 192.168.1.253; then just browse to that page since these cameras have the newest firmware and it will require you to setup an admin password. now i'd strongly suggest you move the camera to a static ip since disconnections will occur and static ip's have no recovery time nor do they move around if your router gets twonky and decides to move everything around. Also with TWO cams you definitely want to move them off the .253 address since they could collide should something reset. Most routers leave 100 ip's (like x.x.x.2-x.x.x.99) alone so you could just move them out of dhcp range and set them up.

3. triggers -> just like the big brother panasonic net cams this has the same design but with very little nvram. the best scenario imo is to setup the unit to FTP the images somewhere when a trigger (motion on XX to YY day of week, during XX to YY hours) occurs. These can pump out alot of emails; i do not recommend this transport.

good stuff ask a networking buddy for help. the cd included is never used. this camera is comaptible with apps like webcam XP pro

Conclusion: YOU NEED MORE INFO ON THIS BEFORE BUYING


Review: I bought this on a gold box deal and had only a short time to make up my mind. I looked for other internet info since it was unclear how this item worked from the info available at Amazon at the time. (Perhaps it has been supplemented since.) I was not well informed and believed I was buying an item that could be plugged into the wall in my pet's room, but it actually has to be attached to an internet connected computer/router. So, since pet and computer system are not located together, I have yet to find a way to use it and I will probably return it when I am finally convinced there is no way. I am sure it is an excellent item if you are knowledgeable and equipped to use it. I am neither.
