Consumer review (newegg.com)

Didn't work with THEIR software.

I would not recommend unless a new version of the software is released.

Inexpensive, easy to connect to network with WPS.

Bought this camera to use with Dlink D- Viewcam software which allows viewing multiple cameras on a PC. Cheaper models worked perfectly, but this one is not compatible with their own software. The software must identify and configure a camera in order...

Does not work as advertised - DO NOT BUY!

Would not recommend purchase & I would never buy this camera again.

- Price & quality of images - interface for viewing multiple cameras both in-network and remotely

- neither camera will connect to the wireless network (which oddly requires a wired connection during setup & then disconnecting & a reboot after setup - the camera sees the network during setup but won't connect wirelessly) When I contacted tech...

Good for what it costs

I would recommend this product only for the most capable IT person. I've worked with cameras and computers for 33 years and found this to be a difficult install and operation.

Work well with Mydlink, DViewCam100, and other cams

Wanted to add two of these pan capable cams to my existing suite of non-pan cams (930L, 932L, 933L, 942L). Adds more diversity for manual viewing (others currently used to record motion etc via DViewCam) on the fly plus recording when they are in a...

None that I am yet aware of

Not happy

It's great when it works. Pan, night vision, and sound are all great features.

It only works 25% of the time. It either says "connecting " or a big red 'x' appears on the camera indicating it isn't available. I know it's not my wireless connection when I'm using it in the other room. The motion detector notification doesn't work...
