Reviews
Outstanding wireless webcam
I had been looking for a wireless webcam for sometime, and the reviews on the other webcams were very bad, so I didn't buy. I saw the reviews on this webcam (9 people rated it 5 stars), so I went ahead and bought it, even though it was a little more than I wanted to pay. I'm so glad I did, it was very easy to setup. The wizard was intuiative and it works so well. I couldn't be more pleased with the webcam!

Fanastic Purchase
I could not be happier with my purchase. Especially after my disastrous experience with D-Link. D-Link had claimed their camera was Wi-Fi enabled with WPA-PSK...It wasn't and I had to return the cameras purchased - was quite an ordeal. This camera does everything D-Link failed to do and more. Configuration very easy, Viewnetcam utilziation for free away from home monitoring, email forwarding. Sure, it took some periodic tweaking getting all the features to work, but once it did, it operates perfectly and consistently so. Definitely recommend this purchase.

How to set up this wonderful product
This camera is fabulous. Good resolution, features, and FREE internet access. (By-the-way, you need a router.) It is a no-brainer to set up to use in your home or office. However, if you want to view from the web, then you will need to make one or two calls. I spent two days trying to do this before I went looking for their number. There are just too many conflicts to do yourself. But don't worry. Once you have their number, its a breeze and takes only about 10 minutes! Okay, world, here is their direct tech line: 800-272-7033. If you are somewhat savvy, here is one important tip for internet access: set your port # at 5000. Now, if you have DSL (not cable broadband) you will most likely need to make a second call...to your DSL tech people. The problem is that DSL modems have a built in router which needs to be set for "bridge mode" which turns off the internal router. You can't have two routers in the same line and get this to work over the web. And you don't have their secret codes to control their modem. Again, no problem. Took about 5 minutes once I had them on the phone (they are used to this issue and well practiced).

Again, hope this is helpful. Its a wonderful product and their FREE web address is a terrific extra (I had a D-link cam and they charged an annual fee for their web connection!)
