you have to setup the fixed ip and security on the camera with a wired connection, configure your router's port forwarding, set up a dns service (for viewing over the web/outside your home network)

from www.amazon.com
my standards may not be as stringent as some other reviewers, but this product works in our home, and i give it 5 stars for that.
from www.amazon.com
one big negative, however, was that it apparently operates on a 2.4 ghz frequency which means that your wireless home phone may interfere with it.
from www.amazon.com
however, i found that as a homeschool family we can also use this system to monitor the kids while they work on schoolwork and my wife and i cook, clean etc.

i have a number of wireless products in my home and the only time i get interferance is right next to my computers.
