- Strengths:
- This webcam fulfilled its purpose rather well. As a surveillance tool it worked great. Resolution at the high setting works well. I posted footage on YouTube: stupid person tampering with lock.
- Weaknesses:
- I fully understand the negative reviews. One can only use it close to an existing electrical outlet. I had to install an electrical outlet on the ceiling (tapped into light fixture). The software wasn't really user friendly (I did not read tutorial or manual) . I had to install new firmware in the camera to run properly. As a surveillance device it ate up a lot of hard drive space. Limit the amount it uses and it will overwrite itself.
- Summary:
- Despite the time and effort involved, it was the cheapest solution, and I had results. And only because I had a positive result, I have to give it 5 stars.
good cheap security camera

- Strengths:
- reliable
fast response to motion
picture quality good for such a cheap camera
- Weaknesses:
- initial setup difficult if using mac as it is not supported(even though box and documentation says it is....) and will need windows to connect to wireless first.
Power cable too short and has no POE(power over ethernet) so little difficult to place in some locations.
- Summary:
- overall a good cheap wireless camera that will allow you some added visual security, been highly reliable for me and connects to wireless network fine. Also can run off usb power if you make right connector...
