 A very useful device July 18, 2008
I like the camera, it's the kind of appliance that you buy, install, and use. It doesn't come back bothering you with trouble shooting or re-installation.
I like the built-in HTTP server, the website service provided by Panasonic seemed to be discontinued, but it was relative easy for me to change its port number and use port forwarding on my router.
It's a little pricey, but the quality is good, my installation was mostly smooth, except a minor delay because of a typo I made in my wireless network name.
 Works Great and Smooth Setup July 15, 2008
Was a little skeptical when I bought this just because I have not had very good experiences with "networked" hardware except for the basic wireless access setup. But to my surprise and relief, this was a very well designed product paired with smart software. It took me about 1hr to get it fully setup and ready to play. It has an ok internal memory buffer (think it holds only about 100 or so images at 640x480), I do wish it had a little more memory. But I setup an ftp server on my PC and it now just sends the images continuously back to my PC so I can either archive them or make them into a movie! This experience has definitely put Panasonic on my "must consider" list for consumer electronic products.
This is not a toy July 14, 2008
By far, this web cam works as it should be. the image and sound quality are good. The only cons is the setting up the wireless connection with the router was a little bit tricky. However, after google for while I was able to make it work.
Good clear camera July 13, 2008
This is a great camera. The audio and the video are quite good and much better than you would get in a regular webcam. Setting up the camera required an obligatory phone call to Panasonic tech support but they were able to guide me through it in one phone call (I have DSL and a Linksys wireless router).
Great product and great support July 7, 2008

Works great. Had some issues connecting to a Macintosh but with the assistance from their technical support it was nailed down very quickly and I can now access from outside my home network. All features can be configured via. the Mac from the administration interface the only things you can't access w/out Boot Camp and/or Parallels is the zoom/audio features. If you have a newer Mac that can run Windows then your golden.
For configuration, I followed the steps provided in an earlier post and confirmed that they would work with the BL-C131A by emailing Panasonic. Panasonic's tech. support was great and very responsive to my needs.
With the motion detection feature I was able to obtain photos of a visiting black bear in our yard while also triggering email when FedEx/UPS delivers packages.
