Very useful for monitoring our house while away

 

The camera was a bit hard to set up, but with a technical background, I got it all to work, except for emailing me when it detects motion. I found to get it to work with GMail, I had to set the port to 465. This port number was not referenced on the...

Very reliable, easy to log in and view on the web

Pics show up fine on my iPad, but not on my Android phone

Cool toy, but not for casual user

 

I've been using computers forever, and understand PCs, networks and routers pretty well. Everything worked fine wiith the camera while I was hooked up via ethernet cable. However, confusing instructions for the process of opening up your home wireless...

Way cool toy when directly connected

Great Camera fro Monitoring Premises

 

I bought this in order to monitor my during long periods of oversea travels. I am moderately tech savvy but the setup was a bit diffficult due to poor instruction manual. It took 3 calls (25 min each) to Panasonic tech support to get it viewable off...

Lack of night vision, poor instruction manual

Great Surveillance Camera

 

Installation and configuration with wire is a breeze. To configure the wireless option was much more complicated but not impossible. I attempted to do it myself with the instructions and found it very difficult. I called tech support and had the...

wireless picture is great

set up/ configuration is difficult

Consumer review by:

Item was as described for the most part.

 

Good item, a little expensive for what it is. The motion is not the best, a frame every 3 seconds or so and a little complicated to set up. The picture, sound and alarms are great. I have 3 of them and they do a very good job of wirelessly observing my...

wireless and IP addressable

Price and motion

Very Good

 

I needed a camera to check on my pet while I am away. This camera is great! I love that I can be out of town and log in to a website, turn on the camera, and see what is going on at home. It makes me feel more relaxed when I have to leave on a business...

Flexibility, Easy to set up, Accessible

Pricey

Consumer review by:

Robust and Flexible

 

GOOD: Energizer Bunny-like, it doesn't crash or lock-up like some other network cameras do! Its also loaded with features, making it a great security device.BAD: Two things that the SETUP instructions do not say that were VERY important: 1) You MUST...

Lots of features, codecs, network protocols support, crisp pics in good light

Not so great setup instructions or procedure, grainy pics in low light

Consumer review by:

Does not work as advertised

 

The Good:- Can connect wirelessly - Can be monitored from an iPod, iPhone or PC via the internet.The Bad:- Setup is a nightmare (at least using Windows 7). I am a very technical person (I've been in IT for 20+ years) and even then I had to spend 30...

Can connect wirelessly. Remote monitoring with iPhone or PC

Setup is painful. No real Android support

Consumer review by:

Good little camera for the price

 

This is a pretty good camera. The video can be a bit grainy, but it is very easy to view faces in fairly low light and distinguish between people. I work in the tech field and if you have a complex router setup like I do; I even found it to be a bit...

Good price, small and light, gives peace of mind

WiFi connection could be stronger, can be hard to setup, grainy in certian light

Consumer review by:

Love This Camera, but it has some draw backs!

 

I love this camera, bought 2 and going to buy 2 more tomorrow. Camera does just what I intended for it to do. The picture quality is better if you have a lot of light but my house has dark walls. Setting up the home network part was fairly easy and the...

Performs Great

Setting up internet access when you are away from home
