Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I looked for a long time for a remote camera to keep an eye on a vacation residence.Reviews of other similar cameras like the Toshiba IK-WB11A were spotty at best especially when using in wireless mode.Panasonic cameras seemed to get good reliability reviews, so when an outdoor wireless-G came out I decided to give it a try.I had some difficulty getting the ports forwarded through my router.The directions are pretty sparse when it comes to setting up your router.I guess there is a fair variability in how each different router is set up.Once that problem was solved it has been rock solid.In the 4 months I have had it running, I only had to reset it once, after a 3 day power failure.Actually, I think it was the router, not the camera that needed to be reset, but I reset everything.It does everything it is advertised to do although I don't use the audio feature.The motion detection feature works better than other webcam security software that I have tried.
Addendum:
I have now had this installed over 4 years and it continues to function as good as the day I bought it. As it is in a vacation home and I am frequently gone, I have had some problems with loss access via the internet.It appears that this is secondary to flaky DSL router.I finally purchased a simple timer at the hardware store.It turns off the router every night at midnight and then turns it back on a minute later, effectively resetting the router each day. Since then no problems. It doesn't require a computer to be running so both the router and the camera boot back up following a power failure.
