if you want it to work with a smartphone, try something else August 8, 2007
it works with a smartphone, but only with still images...a key detail not mentioned in any of the marketing materials. if you want streaming video to your smartphone while on the road, this is not the product for you.
 Serves its purpose but could be better July 23, 2007

I purchased this unit to allow my wife and I to check up on our baby/nanny while we're away. When I purchased this unit I had some minor issues getting it to work with my wireless network but eventually I got it up and running. My major issues with this camera is its lack of wireless security (it only supports WEP). In addition to the lack of wireless security I'm also having an issue viewing streaming video from my camera remotely. In order to view images I have to setup the camera to have a three second refresh rate. The weird thing is I'm able to view streaming video once per PC but after that I get a white screen with an error like (Error 2000/13004). I though it was a browser issue but I've had this issue on IE6. IE7 and firefox. I even tried clearing my cache, cookies, etc. but nothing worked. I even bypassed my firewall but still no luck!
I've contacted Panasonic support and unfortunately they were unable to help resolve my issue. I did learn that this model utilizes motion JPEGS to stream video but the new model (131A) uses MPEG4 and has one way audio!
All in all the camera is okay if you could get it to work with streaming video over the Internet. It has some really nice features such as the ability to store images from motion detection internally or upload them to an FTP server or even email they to you. I wish the unit was a little cheaper but besides that it's an okay unit.

This Made in Malysia webcam is competely useless, it is very fregaile and whorth $67, not 267!!
Be careful, these rate five star may be work for Pana co
Be careful, you have spend 330 for retuer, and another 333 for DLS and about 100 for cables, totally cost about 1000!!!!, though it competely does not work well
 So far so good... July 3, 2007

Easy to set up under linux - I used wine for the first steps of the installation and then realized I could most of it from the camera's built-in web server. Nice...
Image quality is nice. The ability to change parameters such as image quality on the fly from the web interface is very convenient.
The heat sensing/live movement detection feature works like a charm. You can even configure it to take a series of stills when it's triggered.
The pan/tilt feature is great -- I find myself wishing it could pan a bit further to the left and right but... I also find myself wishing that it had infrared capability (night vision) and high quality optical zoom and...that it would make breakfast for me in the morning, etc... Frankly, it does the job quite well given the price.
Wireless range doesn't seem to be an issue - the camera is at one end of the house and the router at the other end -- haven't had any problems with them seeing each other. By the way, it retains its configuration when powered up and down - seems like an obvious feature a camera should have - but I figured it might be worth noting this one can be in the box for days on end and then plugged back in and it retains its settings...
In short, I recommend it - I haven't been let down thus far.
Excellent low cost IP camera choice June 27, 2007

Very easy to set up (took less than 30 minutes from opening the box to watching live the images).
Great value. Works exactly as promissed. If you need better image quality, consider cameras with price starting at USD1,000. IF not, this is the best you can get for under USD 500.
Viewnetcam site is easy to set up and is 100% free, different from Lynksys that charges you after one year...
Definetly will get the newer version with sound...
