Toshiba IK WB15A IP Network Camera - Network camera - PTZ - color ( Day&Night ) - 1/4" - optical zoom: 2.6 x - audio - 10/100

76% of the reviews on Amazon.com give this product a positive rating.

Support for IEEE 802.3af means you can rig the IK-WB15A in a location where there’s no electrical outlet; the camera can draw power over a simple Cat-5 cable. Unfortunately, Toshiba decided to include a conventional AC power supply with this camera,...

Affordable PTZ camera with many features

Missing a lot of features that could have been included ; Documentation needs work ; Should have been able to record video without 3rd-party $oftware ; Settings vulnerable to power failures

Decent image, inexpensive PTZ with zoom

Inside dome fogging making camera worthless. Toshiba knows about the issue but can't/won't do anything about it

Easy to install, clear viewing, good color

Programing difficult, have trouble using remote comuter access

Toshiba has improved the firmware quite a bit over the earlier generation IK-WB11A (which I have used for years.) One advantage is the ability to upload (FTP) either a time-stamped file, or you can now choose one file name and the cam will overwrite on...

In spite of Toshiba touting their new 1/4" image sensor in this cam, there is no doubt the image of the old IK-WB11A is *quite* a bit better. Sharper and better color saturation in the earlier model. Still the image isn't too bad in the WB15A, just not...

Currently best value/features for the money ; Outdoor rated POE semi-weatherproof Network camera ; Clear 1280x960 resolution with Auto Day/Night function ; 2.6x optical zoom & good low light performance ; Responsive & fast PTZ with auto day/night ;...

Only jpeg files can be recorded from built-in firmware ; Additional software required to record any video files ; No setting in firmware to auto move camera to a "home" position after time interval ; Only 7.5fps @ 1280x960 resolution ; Long term...

This camera has great resolution and works very fast over 150 feet of aerial CAT5 to a cable modem backbone as a webcam at a construction site. Has all the bells and whistles, pan, tilt, zoom, auto centering and auto patrol as long as you have IE6/7

The image gets grainier as the zoom maxes out, but thats the downside to digital zoom. Doesnt work with Firefox 3.03. POE dongle not provided. Has no built in IR illuminator which makes the night vision pretty much useless unless there is enough...

I bought this camera to use as a wildlife camera near a redtailed hawk's nest and although it's intended as a security camera it seems to be fine for my purpose.

For a remote installation I'd like to see a better strain relief setup for the ethernet cable.

I just spoke with Toshiba tech support regarding the issues I mention in my update review (posted 10/28).

Most of my cons are now resolved.
