Consumer review (newegg.com)

Died after 1 year

 

I was recommending this camera heavily for the past year and it was great. Right up to when it turned into an inert brick 2 weeks out of warranty. Caught one friend just about to buy one and stopped him.

Lots of features/options. The timer-based and motion-based triggers to store pictures in the camera's buffer was very neat. Tuning of parameters of

Died 2 weeks out of warranty - seems to be very common. The out-of-box auto-config had to be reverse engineered for Mac/Linux users (go to http://.253 :6080 - that's port 6080 in browser - tcpdump is your friend). E-mail cannot use SSL/STARTTLS so your...

Two died exactly 1 year + 4 days

 

I feel bad because I recommended this to about half a dozen people.

Worked well, decent firmware and internet connectivity

Like the last two posters, I had two die shortly (4 days!) after the warranty expired.

The camera died on me after just one year!!

 

I am very cross at Panasonic for producing a network camera with such low reliability.

Was good while it lasted :(

The Camera suddenly died today.

Great Camera, works as advertised

 

After learning and figuring out everything about how the camera works and how to set it up, I'm going to order several more. Really nice units once you are used to them. I am running through RJ-45 to a Netgear Gigaswitch, up through an SMC router. No...

This camera works great, and is a high-quality hardware product. Excellent for lower light environments (and normal light), and good price per image quality standpoint. Comes with great mounting solution. Not hideous to look at. Easy to access from the...

Could use a little faster processor. I wish it had much more onboard memory for buffered images, considering how dirt cheap memory is these days. The setup is a little tiresome due to babelfish-translated Chinese to English literature. The haphazard...

Well, it works..

 

I would give it a 5, but the setup was confusing. Also, the manual is awful. The English translation is so bad in some spots that it adds to the confusion of the setup. So, a 10 minutejob turned into an hour. Camera is also slow. It can take minutes to...

Decent picture, Zoom feature is neat,wireless works well, comes with a nice wall mount bracket, free dynamic DNS account for access over the web..yeah! I can see my driveway from work! Looks well made. The camera, not the driveway!

Where to start..the setup was horrid. Took multiple tries. I think my issue was trying to set a static IP. I could set the static IP during the wired setup, but when I went wireless, it never seemed to connect. Had to use dynamic IP.

Awesome Camera, works very well

 

WiFi 802.

Camera refreshes slowly overall, probably due to a slow processor.

Follow the directions exactly as they are written. Even if you don't plan to use it as they might lead you to believe.

Easy enough to set up. Resolution looks good.

The instructions could have been more clear.
