Consumer review (newegg.com)

Picture too dark

I got this camera in March 2010, and updated all software. If I shine a bright light into the lens, it seems to re-adjust the picture brightness. Only problem is I can't do that evey day in the morning. In the evening this camera just produces a black...

Easy to setup, that's about it

The picture is too dark. I tried to contact customer support several times, but they refuse to answer my emails. For that reason I will never purchase another Hawking product. The camera really needs to be replaced, but I don't have the time to deal...

Junk if you need it wireless

Save yourself the time and buy a better brand unless you plan to keep it on a wired network.

Clear picture when used on a wired connection

Will not connect to my wireless network. Spent 8 hours trying to get it to work. Even changed the network to unsecured, still would not connect

Hawking HNC290G Camera

I wish I could subtract an egg from my previous review. Buy any other internet camera. It will be better than this one. I hope Newegg can get a refund from Hawking. This is not the fault of Newegg - they are a great company.

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

Bright light seems to lock up the camera. Motion detection doesn't work at all. The picture sent is nothing but trash and is totally distorted. Hawking tech support will not answer their 24 hour support line and if they do they will hang up on you....

Hawking HNC290G Camera

The onscreen date & time is nice. The camera logs onto an NTP server to update its time and it seems to have more accurate time than the other cameras. I will keep this camera since it has good video, but it does not meet my requirements and it is...

I currently own 5 TrendNet internet cameras and 4 Encore internet cameras. This camera, the Hawking HNC290G, has great video. It is superior to the other cameras, especially at low light levels. The picture is clearer, seems to have higher resolution,...

The admin username cannot be changed and the password is only 4 characters long. The camera is a stand alone camera and does not require a computer to operate, but it cannot upload pictures to my website without additional software running on a...
