Digital camera reviews of Sharx Security VIPcella SCNC2606 Wifi Wireless 802.11g Security Network CameraDigital camera Review: A Great First Impression -Updated Summary: 5 Stars
Before I purchased this camera, I contacted customer service for Sharx. This was on a Saturday. They don't have a phone number. You start a conversation with them via email. I asked a lot of questions because I'd had an unpleasant experience with another brand and was returning it. I received several replies and asked several more questions. All of the emails were polite, understandable and informative. The representative even suggested that I didn't need to buy the more expensive 2607 model! Very cool. So, I bought the 2606.
If I hadn't confused myself, the whole configuration would have taken less than 30 minutes. (An email to customer service generated a response in 5 minutes that identified my error.)
I could actually see an image about ten minutes after opening the box. The image is really impressive. To gain web access, you must "fiddle" a bit, but the instructions are clear enough that I believe most folks can follow them without any problems.
I will not repeat the details of the other reviewers. Time will tell how the camera holds up. But my first impressions of the company and the product deserve 5 stars.
UPDATE:
January 30, 2011 -
After 2 months of remote usage, I'm still giving this product 5 stars. I am also very impressed with the assistance I have received from customer support.

Summary of Sharx Security VIPcella SCNC2606 Wifi Wireless 802.11g Security Network CameraThis Wifi b/g wireless IP camera has its own built in web server. You can view the video from your own home network or you can configure your router to view and control the camera from computers or cellphones on the internet, without dependence on any third party web sites or subscriptions. With the built-in microphone you can listen in. Excellent MPEG4 or MJPEG video quality at a full 640 x 480 resolution with up to 30 frames per second for fluid, natural motion color. For viewing or recording a single camera no software is required besides just your browser. For viewing or recording multiple Sharx IP cameras the included MultiView software for PCs supports up to 4 Sharx IP cameras simultaneously. Truly amazing to see the streaming video on your web enabled cell phone. For frequent use we recommend to upgrade your cellphone service to unlimited data, which costs just $15/mo extra on the ATT network. You can see motion even on non-3G phones like SonyEricsson w580i. If your phone does not support video you can see automatically refreshing JPEG images. At home, you can use this camera with your laptop or iPhone as a baby or pet monitor, and the very high light sensitivity in "moonlight mode" allows you to view out from a window to see what's happening in the street as long as there is some background light available. For night vision in absolute, total darkness with no visible light, upgrade to SCNC2607 which adds infrared night vision and a higher quality, wide angle lens. Wireless operation supports WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption. On routers with UPnP feature the camera can set itself up automatically, and on routers without UPnP (such as Apple's Airport series) the camera can be set up with our step by step instructions.
