This camera is very easy to use and it does what it claims to do but there are a few flaws with it that you should know before you buy it. 1) the most fatal flaw is that the motion recording of video requires heavy bandwidth on our network and your PC because the camera sends all video data to your PC and your PC needs to process everything. (You basically need to dedicate a PC just for the camera). from Amazon.com When searching for a IP enabled camera, I had a hard time finding one that didn't have a reputation for being unstable or unreliable. This camera has proven to be both stable and reliable, and I am very happy with its performance. from Amazon.com Pros: Awesome for the price! We are using it for security monitoring on our front door and its working great. Cons: Wish I could setup a hostname on the device so that we don't have to type the IP address into a browser. from Newegg.com The major problem of this product is the audio quality. It's simply poor when used within the local network, and totally useless if you try to use it over the Internet (even with high speed cable connection). from Amazon.com Pros: was on sale for $69 and free shipping. Cons: you must have a static IP adress and some good understanding of network setup. there is no good step by step instructions on how to set up the camera, instructions are very vague. from Newegg.com Great camera, changed to a 2.8mm wide angle lens as suggested by another review. I can see almost all of my 24x30 shop. The audio is very sensitive and will easily pick up voices on the other side of the shop. The camera also works good in lower light conditions. from Newegg.com Pros: none Cons: Called tech support ordered 5 of these. All matched serial numbers that were faulty. Network settings can not be saved. Other Thoughts: Trying a samsung will post if successful. from Newegg.com I already had 3 other trendnet cameras that were wireless when I bought this one. I didn't need wireless and wanted sound which is why I went with this model. from Amazon.com They would not accept any changes to the configuration. Every time they rebooted, they went to factory defaults! TrendNet technical support said there was a problem with certain models, and they have to be replaced. 4 out of the 5 had to be RMA'd. from Newegg.com Pros: None Cons: Big. slow, low image quality, proprietary interface. I write my own software that works with a wide range of IP cameras. First of all, the image quality is low and is very similar to that by another low-quality camera D-Link DCS-900. from Newegg.com
