I got this for monitoring my pet remotely. It has been completely reliable, the image quality is fine for the purpose and for such a small device, ease of remote use through my Windows mobile phone is good. It is compact and attractive enough that it...

Not too reliable. I can't keep the web based access working even with an auto restart everyday. I have to restart this camera about 2 a day to keep the web based access working. The local access works fine.

Decent camera, Still too MS centric

The initial setup requires a PC, Panasonic's software that comes on the included CD and an Ethernet cable (not included) to connecting the camera to your network/PC. Panasonic's software and a PC are needed to set the camera's initial IP address. ...

Product Specifications

Place this plug-and-play camera in your home, office, vacation home, or almost anywhere else you'd like to keep an eye on things, with no PC required at the location. The camera can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA, with no additional software required. All of the other required software is already inside the camera. With the built-in heat sensor, the camera can be set to record and/ or notify you by email when someone enters the room. It can even automatically move to a preset location when triggered, just in case someone was viewing a different part of the room. With the built-in Privacy mode, your privacy is protected by simply pressing a button. An indicator on the front of the camera turns red, and you know at a glance that the camera is now only accessible by you. The camera can also be set up to show a green light when the camera is being accessed. The camera can be set to automatically record video at certain times and certain speeds. In addition, with optional, external sensors attached to the camera, it's possible for the camera to email or record when triggered by motion, sound, light, timer, or even a push button. These convenient functions eliminate your need to constantly check the image.
