Where do I start? The camera, itself, works great but the included software is so buggy it's unusable. When saving settings in the Windows app, the unit needs to reboot but never comes back up. from Tigerdirect.com - I just want you to know I know what I'm talking about and not a novice. BROADCAST - Three things you should do to keep your wireless network secure: (1) Use an encryption key, (2) restrict access by MAC address, and (3) do NOT broadcast your SSID.

The motion detector is so sensitive (pixel by pixel comparison?) that I am using the scheduled mode. The 320x240 resolution provides pretty good images that can be analyzed by slowing the playback. I have experienced some unexpected terminations of the surveillance file. from Amazon.com In spite of the bad reviews I thought I'd give it a try. It works for some people. from Amazon.com Pros: This is a continuation of my previous review of this camera. Newegg's shipping was unbelieveably fast. This camera has good video when it's not locked up. Cons: Bright light seems to lock up the camera. from Newegg.com I bought this camera to tell which of our cats is engaging in "bad" behavior. After five hours, including 1.5 hours with Hawking's outsourced, overseas Tech Support, I could not get one image. The quick set up did not work. from Amazon.com The quick summary is that it works period. I can view this camera anywhere in the world. The price is great and the configuation was a snap. It was working (world-wide) in about 15 minutes because I did not need to do any special configurations (like change the html port from 80 (the normal default) to another port #). from Amazon.com broadcast - three things you should do to keep your wireless network secure: (1) use an encryption key, (2) restrict access by mac address, and (3) do not broadcast your ssid. from Mwave.com - i just want you to know i know what i'm talking about and not a novice.broadcast - three things you should do to keep your wireless network secure: (1) use an encryption key, (2) restrict access by from Mwave.com
