Consumer review (newegg.com)

Watch out for sunlight

 

User and password have onerous restrictions - like you can't use 'admin' as a user name! or letters only for passwords.

Size, OK image. Good software. Inexpensive POE solution

I have two of these, one gets a half-day of sunlight on the lens, and that lens has turned cloudy. Make sure the lens is protected from sunlight

Some issues

 

One nit; extra restrictions on user names and passwords, length and type of characters make 'admin' or alpha only password unusable. Irratating. Really, how security critical is a webcam?

Good interface. Ok image

I have two of these. One gets more direct sunlight on its lens and its lens has become foggy. Picture is now almost unusable. Keep the lens out of direct sunlight

Great for price

 

Running at 14,000 ft. for 5 months in cold and snow as webcam, still going strong. POE is included but proprietary, still not a problem. Make sure you get outdoor Cat5 cable as I didn't and it might make a difference over time. I have another Pany (PTZ...

Good webcam; POE included; IP based; good daylight performance; rugged through high winds and cold weather

Not highest resolution (640x480 max); POE is proprietary

Great for price

 

Got this for webcam at work and works very well although unusable at night, but I didn't want night anyway. As noted above, instructions are tough to read but manual is much better. I had to read a lot to figure stuff out. Love the ability to access...

Cheap, especially for IP camera; included POE; very easy set-up; good daytime pictures; very good webcam

Propreitary POE; on screen instructions not great English; poor at night; settings take some "tinkering

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Slightly misleading

 

For an IP webcam, it's "mostly there." By itself, it'll let you watch the live feed. To do much of anything more, expect to buy some extra software. The images are decent, but controlling light is critical to get anything recognizable - too dark and...

It works and is built pretty solidly. It has its own web interface that you can add additional Panasonic cameras on the same network for a convenient multi-camera utility. It will also capture and store either a series of images or a short video clip...

This camera is NOT fully 802.3af or 802.3at PoE compliant so don't plan on using a PoE switch to power this camera. You'll have to use the supplied power injector that puts power on the ethernet cable ; Also, the camera is quite a bit bigger than I...

Great IP camera

 

I mounted the camera under the eve at our rental unit on Anna Maria Island, Florida, ran a 30' Cat 5e cable from the camera through a hole I drilled in the wall of the house and connected the other end to the included PoE injector. The Power over...

High quality images, easy to set up, no need for power connection (PoE), works great as a webcam

Requires some networking knowledge to access over the Internet but nothing too complicated
