Ok while it works, lacks wireless encryption options

I bought this camera a little over a year ago and it has worked fine until recently it became unresponsive. The only beef I had with it was that it only supported WEP for wireless encryption which is older and less secure than WPA/WPA2. I would recommend looking for a different network camera as...

Wonderful once you get past the setup

I bought this camera so I could monitor my cat's eating. The setup was not easy for me--I am fairly tech savvy but the documentation is very poor. After two hours of trial and error I was able to get the wireless to function and the camera to send me e-mails. However I had to call Panasonic tech...

Finally Set Up (Maybe) After Three Days and Many Calls to Tech Support

It took forever to set this up. The instructions were not detailed. Any time that we were stuck setting it up, we had to call panasonic, linksys (router), and our ISP. We had to bridge our modem, change ports countless times, and do many other things I had never heard of. Also, trying to view...

Don't try it with a Mac

I would imagine this is a great wireless cam in a windows environment; however, I was completely unable to get it set-up (as in just recognized as existing) on the network using a Intel chip Apple MacBook, even after trying it under Windows XP on the Macbook. I guess if I spent several days...

needed a new router and some tech support

We purchased this camera last week so we could watch our new infant puppy when we're not at home. The camera has been running for 3 days consistently and we are very happy with our purchase. However, we encountered a few troubles.We are not IT people, but consider ourselves computer savvy. After...

Good WebCam for the Price

I have 3 of these webcams in my home. 2 for monitoring my pets and 1 to monitor my basement as I have water problems. I have a wireless network connection via my Laptop. I use the LinkSys Wireless Router.These work very well. I can check in during the day while I'm at work. I can also check...

A cool little device...

This is a neat little device. I have a bunch of them. They are small enough that you can tuck them inside stuff, cheap enough that you can use a bunch of them, and the picture quality is adequate if you put them in the right places. Don't use them for your wedding snaps, though...They can send...

Performs as Promised

This wireless camera has allowed me watch my backyard and dog over the web, exactly as promised. I had to call Panasonic twice to get the device working properly. I should note, however, that my technical issues were network related and would be the same for any camera of this type. What may not...

very poor

This camera has extremely poor wireless functionality. There are not enough choices in the wireless security configuration to work with good, secure wireless routers. Wired works fine but I think most people buy it for the wireless. Wireless freezes often and is unreliable.
