IK-WB01 - Much like one of the above reviewers, I was mislead by the promise of "motion detection".

 

IK-WB01 - Much like one of the above reviewers, I was mislead by the promise of "motion detection".

The camera's ability to "pan & tilt" and the 0.7 lux (low light) were my primary considerations for selecting this camera. It was between this IK-WB01 and the D-link DCS-950G. The D-link has better light gathering capability, but the coolness of pan...

Impressive Camera, not for Nubs

 

Best in class picture quality, low light capability, pan/tilt, frame rate, web server system.

Pretty good with some minor flaws

Toshiba's IK-WB01A is a disgrace!!

 

Toshiba's IK-WB01A is a disgrace!!

I am extremely disappointed with this camera. The manual is written in very poor English which I had a hard time deciphering and it doesn't explain some basic operations. I cannot imagine how Toshiba managed to get the best geeks in Japan to develop...
