Great Camera [Posted on 2007-03-29]
Bought 2 of these to watch over my house while I am at work. Setup is pretty easy, but be prepared to wait a minute after changed settings, many changes when you initial setup the camera require it to restart. Camera's work great together and the free use of [...] to access the cameras is nice. Setting up timers and sensor emails/ftp is pretty straight forward but will require a user to test and retest to get the settings just right.
Pros: Price is good for a ip camera with tilt/pan. viewnetcam.com feature is a great addition to the camera package. Works great with similar model panasonic cameras.
Cons: Multiple restarts while setting up or making changes(minor issue), limited online support/how-to's.
keeps an eye on the house [Posted on 2007-05-19]
I bought this because I was going to be living in another country for a couple months and wanted to keep an eye on the place.
It worked great, they give you a website that you can go to (with your password) and control the camera from. It moves up, down, and side to side. It does adjust for light, which worked well from dim to bright light, but it does not have any night vision, so once it's dark and your lights are off (mine were on a timer), you can't see anything. Also, it doesn't shoot tasers at anyone trying to rob the house, so if you do catch someone inside, all you can do is call the police and take a snapshot (assuming they didn't already find and unplug the camera).
The only warning I would give is that you need to make sure you have a router within an ethernet cable's distance of where you want to put it. If you're not sure, it's probably worth springing the extra $50 and getting the wireless version.
Great webcam for remote monitoring [Posted on 2007-06-09]
This product works as described and is easy to set up and control. Works just fine on Macs as well. Safari works fine with it.
Fry and Panasonic have terrible customer support [Posted on 2007-06-18]
I ordered this Camera from Fry's online. It arrived with no AC adapter. Fry blamed it on shipping at Panasonic. They wanted to charge me for another one and return the one I had. I can not even take it back to a local Fry store. I am told by customer insult that they are 2 different companies.
The worst part is neither Fry's or Panasonic have a forum to rate their support or their products. They can continue to provide terrible service and no one will know any better.
I applaud Amazon for having this forum. I will order this camera through Amazon. I will also order all my online electronics at Amazon.
Panasonic Remote Video Monitoring Webcam BL-C10A [Posted on 2007-09-06]
I have had d-link and linksys camera's in the past and have foudn them difficult to set up for over the internet viewing and the equipment failed after a year or two. So far i have had this one set up for a month and it was easy to set up and follow the directions. It works well over the internet. All in All I am happy with the camera and the free forwarding ip service so far. Witih linksys you had to sign up and pay for the service that didn't ssem to work all the time and had difficulty setting it up to even work in the first place.
