Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this model camera a few years ago, and have just bought another. I'm not an IT person, but with the help of the Users Guide, and a very helpful tech support person, it's working well. The camera comes with a Quick Start Guide, but there is additional documentation available from the Trendnet web site - the Users Guide, FAQs and one on remote web access, all as pdf docs. It's worth taking the time to read everything and understand the steps to get it working. Even if you don't understand the ins and outs of network configuration, you can get it going by just carefully following their instructions. The difficult part is making the camera visible via the Internet, because there is a lot of variability in how each local network connects to the Internet.
With the older camera, I could view the video with Safari, but could not control pan and tilt. Worked OK using ActiveX with IE (running in XP as a virtual machine on my Mac). But the preset position settings did not work at all. That's when I emailed Trendnet tech support, who recommended a firmware upgrade (to version 3.36). That process was trickier than the original setup, but I got it done. The user interface looks quite different from the older version (version 3.17). But the really good news is that I can now control the camera from both Windows IE and Mac's Safari, including configuring and using preset positions.
I can't view the video on my iphone, as it requires java. However, I did find an app called Cam Viewer that works. I don't see video in real time, but as a series of still images with a user-settable refresh rate. Good enough to accomplish what I wanted.
I was impressed with the Trendnet tech support - I got a prompt response to my email, the person was knowledgeable, and stuck with me through several questions until I got it all working.
Digital camera Review: good ip cam
Summary: 5 Stars
i have it installed this camera upside down in my hallway facing the door. installation of software and hardware was a breeze. (i do have some limited knowledge and installed routers before) the price is very good!Digital camera Review: ok camara in day of course
Summary: 3 Stars
ok camera in the light day of course. Paid 169.99 for the wireless needed a router! They finally told me the router has to have the same IP address as the camara!
Had to call trendnet numerous amounts of times in order to get help. TERRIBLE TECHNICAL SUPPORT!They told me the web IP camera only emails you pics. That was a lie it does both records long video and send pictures! The only thing that this cam does not have led night vision lights & sounds. Otherswise it will get the job done!
Digital camera Review: this one was broken
Summary: 1 Stars
We are contantly resetting and as the light goes down so does the picture quality. Sometimes just dots you have to guess. Someone else in the family has two of these and is not having the problem, only reset once a week and has it on a timer.
So there must be something wrong with our camera and we will see what Amazon will do to make this right.
