It works great during the day & at short distance less than 25 feet away from the router

Arrived today, I got it setup within 30 minutes, unfortunately i was not able to connect to the camera wirelessly at distance longer than 25 feet away from the router. I have two others panasonic netcam (BL-C131A) and they work great at that distance & further. I wouldn't recommend this netcam to...

See everything when you can't be there

This Panasonic outdoor camera is a great little product. It is used outside our condo and it has operated in temperatures of -5 without any issues. An attached SD card allows many photos to be saved on a chip and the zoom lens allows us to see things pretty close. The only issue is finding a...

Software Has Problems

I purchased this camera because I didn't want to run Ethernet cable to my router. If this is not a problem for you, I would recommend you check out the BB-HCM311A. Note that with the BB-HCM371A, you still have to run wire for power, which sort of defeats the wireless concept.Be warned that you...

Excellent webcam

The BB-HCM371A is easy to setup if your router supports Universal Plug'n'Play (I'm using a late model Linksys 54G). If you're using several other cameras in addition to this one, you may have do some manual configuration of the router ports. Panasonic's setup instructions are adequate but...

Worth it

I've used this camera for the better part of a year now. I've used it in a variety of locations and conditions. It's presently mounted outdoors and transmitting wirelessly to a router sitting indoors 340' away. I use dynamic DNS to access the camera remotely via DSL. The framerate is decent, but...

Not useful in typical surveillance

Pros: Gets off line and re- installs itself sometimes Cons: Trouble in every aspect of operation and recovery of images Panasonic misrepresented the use, quality and actual software required to operate several cameras on one computer.I spent just

Too PC-dependent and lacks WPA for wireless security

I just received this unit and have to state that I'm rather disappointed. First, we are an all-Mac household with a SonicWall firewall but this unit is so heavily PC-dependent that it would not work out the box with either. Another reviewer said it would work with the Macintosh but I couldn't...

Not very impressive!!!

Purchased this Camera expecting it to operate as good or better the the much less expencive BL-C20A did. The picture quality was sub-par for a camera that was 400 dollars more, I expected more. The wireless set up was a ritual in frustration, reset the camera multiple times, repowered,...

Excellent high-quality outdoor web cam

I had first purchased a couple of Panasonic BL-30C wireless web cams to keep an eye on a vacation house that is far away from us. I wanted to put one outside too and decided to give this one a try against the weather. It was a bit harder to set up than the BL-30c, but after a few trial and...

Bad Quality Camera

I am extremely unhappy with this camera. On the surface, the camera looks great--it offers SD recording, wireless connectivity, and remote management. But this is a really poorly made camera with poor supporting software. Firstly, it took me 3 nights trying to set this up--and I'm a long time...
