Disappointing POE Camera
By J. Lawler
Let me begin by stating that I had to return this IP camera. The major reason is that it does not have exposure compensation and it has a manual focus. It is set up for indoor ambient light settings. Not too bright and not too dim. I also realized that the camera/CCD chip does not have a sufficient dynamic range to capure a scene with both bright and dard areas. If this is a requirement, then this camera will not carry out for you.

Great basic camera!
By Bill
I have the 4x zoom model and it is easy to set up and use. I mounted mine in an outdoor camera housing to monitor the outside of my home. I have no trouble connecting to it from work and the picture is clear. The 4x zoom does cause the picture to get grainy (as expected), but I don’t have much use for the zoom as I am looking for an overall view of the area. I had no trouble focusing the camera with my laptop connected to my home network – any further and the delay would have made focusing a pain. The microphone works fine and I’m also satisfied with it’s performance in low light. The low-watt bulb that I have in my porch light provides sufficient light for the camera to view the entire porch area late at night. When the motion flood lights are activated, there is more than sufficient light for the camera. This is a good choice for a basic internet security camera.

Nice Camera
By Franklin Rolando Orellana
The quality of this camera is what you would suppose for the price, regular. The default settings are not ok for use outdoor, and you can’t change that unless you update the firmware of the device, which is what we did and after that i worked ok indoor and outdoor (we didn’t knew that the firmware fixed this problem since we didn’t find anything that suggested it but thanks to that we didn’t have to return it or use it only indoor).
You may access the camera from any navigator (we tried IE, FF and Opera), but a good deal of innovative functions are only available in IE.
The zoom is not that utile since it is just digital and the effigy solution is not very good.
The software detects the camera without problem even if you don’t recognise it’s IP so it save us a couple of times from rebooting it.
We’ve tried for a few days now and everything seems ok even when using it with ddns.
