5 out of 5 stars Works Great - Great Resolution   January 6, 2009
I bought this camera based on all of the other good reviews, and it works great. I had a little difficulty getting the wireless figured out, but after reading through the documentation and fiddling with my router I was able to get it working. The key was making sure my Netgear Router had a port opened up to the outside world.

Overall this is a solid product and has been good for me watching our new little puppy while we are away. It even works on the mobile phone!



5 out of 5 stars Expensive but Great Technical Support   January 4, 2009
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I purchased two of these cameras so my wife and I can view our baby's room from work. There are better optics from other web-cams out there but what makes this product stand out from the rest is that (a) it works and (b) it works because the Panasonic provides human beings to walk you through the set-up process. It's complicated (at least to me) because you have to make sure your router is set-up (port(s) open/forwarded) and that's not something non-techies understand. However, by the end of my third call to Panasonic over the course of two days (Weekend days by the way), the patient and helpful folks at Panasonic go both my cameras working. After a few awful technical support experiences at companies like Dell- it was a real surprise to get such support. I purchased a similar product (wired web-cam this time) from D-Link two years ago and wound up selling it on Ebay for 1/3 of what I paid for it after I couldn't that that webcam to work and the technical support at D-Link told me the issue was my router which was out of their jurisdiction. I'm going to look more seriously at other Panasonic products now that I have had such a good experience with their techincal support staff.


5 out of 5 stars Great product   January 2, 2009
I'm still getting to know this product but of what I've experienced so far it's been great. I was surprised how easy it was to set up and easily moved around.


5 out of 5 stars Surprising number of features - Well designed   December 24, 2008
This was purchased for security for my house. I'm able to record any activity to a remote PC (at my office) so even if someone steals the camera, I'll have the activity recorded off-site to catch the theif (hopefully).

The setup was surprisingly simple with UPnP with my router. I expected to have to tinker with the settings but it just worked out of the box.

The camera management software is mature and feature-rich.

The web interface is impressive with full-motion video and camera control. It even has a web page designed specifically for cell phones/PDAs.

The audio doesn't work with iPod Touch/iPhone but the video is clear and the web site is fully functioning on those devices.

Impressive.



5 out of 5 stars believe the good reviews   December 17, 2008
This was as good as all the reviewers rated it. I definitely recommend it.
