Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Wireless Network Camera and Pet Cam (BL-C20A)
Digital camera Review: A cool little device...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a neat little device. I have a bunch of them. They are small enough that you can tuck them inside stuff, cheap enough that you can use a bunch of them, and the picture quality is adequate if you put them in the right places. Don't use them for your wedding snaps, though...
They can send periodic pictures by email, take bracketing pictures (say 5 pictures before the trigger, and 5 after, a second apart,) and they can store the snaps internally, email them, or ftp them to a server somewhere. They can send to 3 different email addresses, and they have 5 triggering conditions including time of day and motion detection, each of which can do different stuff with the pictures. The JPEGs are about 27k at 640x480, so they won't kill your email. This one uses 4 watts, so they will run forever off a cheap UPS if someone turns off the power to your house. The wired cams use 2 watts. Each camera has a webserver built in, which can show a single page with 3 other cameras' pictures on it. Configuration is a breeze. Really.
Only downside I have found is that they do WEP not WPA. I use an old access point just for the cameras. Balanced against the positives, this is a minor point.
This is an amazing amount of technology for under $180.
