Additional Linksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera Information
|
The Linksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera sends live video through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world! This compact, self-contained unit lets you keep track of your home, your kids, your workplace -- whatever's important to you. Unlike standard "web cams" that require an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own web server, so it can connect directly to a network, either over Wireless-G (802.11g) networking, or over 10/100 Ethernet cable. The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 320x240 video stream. The Compact Internet Video Camera's unique form-factor and wireless connectivity allows you to mount it on a wall nearly anywhere, or slip it into its included stand for desktop use. Once it's connected to your home network, you can "see what it sees" from any Windows-based PC in the house, while the video stream is secured from the outside world, hidden behind your Router. If you want the video to be visible from outside your home network, you can open an appropriate port on the Router, and then create password protected accounts to manage access to the camera, or leave it wide open for the world to see. The SoloLink domain service (trial sign-up included) lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember "name", even if your home Internet connection uses a dynamic IP address. You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. The included Viewer & Recorder utility lets you record the audio/video stream to your local hard drive, "live" or on a predetermined schedule.

What Customers Say About Linksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera:
|

This happened repeatedly, Tech Support sent me updated firmware but this appeared to make things worse. After a reasonably straightforward setup, the cameras eventually worked for about an hour before dropping off the system and becoming invisible to the router until powered down and up. Boxed them all back up and sent them back for a full refund. Overlooking the fact that one of the cameras arrived without a power supply, I set the other two up. There are some bugs in the software that caused the PC to error out.
Video quality is very good. Quick and easy to set up. Indoor and daytime it's great. Not very good in low light and night time use. I did not use the web service part of the software as I set it up on my LAN as a security camera. Web service allows remote viewing and email notification.
It works great, but when I get off of work I start getting bombarded with emails (200+ Mb worth). All you have to do is enable the alternate port and then do a port forward on your router and you're there. The only complaint I have is with the email notification. People are giving this product a bad review and spreading misinformation about it. I guess I will have to manually turn it on and off, but I can't really complain for $50. Yes it is an ActiveX control and that is a very bad idea. The setup was very easy and it worked as they advertised. However, it does work with other DDNS services such as DynDNS.
Motion detection works real good. Cost, good. Wireless feature is good. Better than standard web cam but picture quality is poor. Quality of picture, soso. I was not able to establish a web link to the camera.
Well, Everything seems to work fine and software is easy to use, I think it is fine and easy to use :)
