Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Network Camera and Pet Cam (BLC1A)
Digital camera Review: A bit misleading
Summary: 3 Stars
The camera works as advertised, but I find the advertisement(s) to be a hint misleading. I wanted to set the camera up, have it buffer the images locally, and I would then plug it back into my router at the end of the day and review the images.
1. The camera requires a network connection to boot up/initialize. Since it's not wireless, that means a wired connection to a router must be present at all times in order for the camera to operate.
2. The onboard cache of the camera is tiny, so storing images locally is not a viable option anyway.
So, again, the camera works as advertised and perhaps I simply purchased the wrong tool for the job. However, when they wrote that no local computer was necessary, I mistakenly assumed that (also) meant no constantly connected network. I'm off to buy a (much longer) Cat5/6 network cable.
