A decent network camera |
Here are the things I like about the camera:
1. You can remotely pan and tilt the camera.
2. You can download recording software from the Panasonic web site. The software allows you to set many parameters. It also will record based on change in light rather than the built in sensor.
3. It has decent resolution and recordability during daylight.
4. Panasonic gives you a free web site to use for remote connection.
Here are the things I don't like about the camera:
1. It only works on wireless channel 11.
2. It doesn't have low light capability. At dusk and dark any action is very blurred.
I am happy with the camera given that I paid less than $300 for it. I would like to have a more expensive camera that has zoom and low light capability for outside surveillance. Since this is an indoor camera though, I would rate it a little better than average. |

Overall not bad at all |
| Overall this is a pretty good network camera. It was very easy to get it setup on the computer (home network). However, setting it up to work through the Internet took a while. It wouldn't automatically program my router so I ended up manually opening the port through the router software. Once that was done it was a breeze getting it working. The camera itself has "decent" quality video. Nothing special...it's about equivalent to the normal "good" webcam. Objects in the distance are blurry (10ft-15ft away) but it isn't bad. The heat sensor works pretty good for notifying you via email if it senses anything (I am using it as a security camera). It actually emails you a pic of what set it off. Just takes a while to program that so it snaps the pic at the right moment. Being able to log in while I'm away and check in on things is GREAT. I give it 4 stars because I think it is a "bit" overpriced for what you get (I guess this is relatively speaking). I expected the video quality to be a bit higher. Anyhow, it's a good buy so if you're considering one, get it now. I paid $259.99 and I consider it an "ok" deal. |
