 Great Camera for the price June 30, 2008
After reviewing the reviews on this camera I decided to give it a shot. Let me tell ya, this is a great camera for the price! I have mine looking out a window (not recommended but it works fine on clean windows!) on to my front porch to record motion. It does a great job capturing video and images and then sending that to where ever you like. I love the wireless capability! You might want to have a friend help you set it up for the internet if you are not tech savy but once you get it going it works great. You can control this camera from anywhere in the world with an internet connection and see what is going on at your home. The sound function is also nice but I did not feel the need to use it since I was monitoring outside. I could say more but there are plenty of other reviews out there. For what you get for your money, I would recommend this camera. Although it is "wireless", you still need to be close to an electrical outlet to power the camera but since it is suppose to be for indoors, that should not pose to big of a problem.
kdan's review June 24, 2008
Nice cam, I purchased two, movement is a little jerky and I never could get the zoom feature to operate correctly. but the cam as a whole does everything else I expected of it. cust. service is very good. As for recommendation I would recommend it.
Nice camera...Fairly easy to set up... June 24, 2008
Using camera for a pet cam and back porch cam. Camera lets me check on the dogs. Also my grandkids can check us out while we're on the back porch. BL-C131A has one-way audio so you can also listen.
Great Wireless Network Camera June 20, 2008

Excellent camera. I am going to buy a 2nd one. Being able to access the camera from anywhere in the world via a browser is amazing. And to be able to pan and tilt are great features. The wireless feature is flawless. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 stars is because they claim zooming, albeit digital, which is next to worthless. If they could implement optical zoom, even 3X, in this form factor would make it a fantastic product.
 Excellent Product for an Excellent Price June 4, 2008
I took a lot of time to research a good camera that I could monitor while I'm at work. This camera has exceeded my expectations so far. I had to hit and miss a couple of times to get the wireless up but it wasn't too bad if you follow the instructions online. If you're not very computer savvy, I recommend calling customer support. The camera works flawlessly. I love the programmability of the features such as panning to certain areas and timed activation or motion detection activation. Zoom is digital so don't expect perfection out of it. The delay from camera to my screen at work is only about 2 to 3 seconds which is about as good as you can get with an IP camera. My only complaint is that I wish it was a 2-way speaker but I'm happy with at least being able to hear noise in the house. The mic isn't fantastic but it does the job for what I need. The image is a little grainy but you can identify faces easily enough and the police can take your image and increase the detail if they need to.
All in all a great buy at 270 bucks. If you're buying more than one, be prepared to pay an extra 300 bucks for an IP camera router which is also sold here. I may upgrade to that soon. I also recommend at least 300k upload speed for one camera at 640x480 resolution. Initially my upload was at about 150k and the camera lagged badly at 640x480 and even lagged in 320x240 resolution. After I upgraded my connection, it worked fine in both modes. If you want a high resolution PTZ security camera, then you're going to pay big bucks and have problems uploading the data unless you have a speedy internet connection. If you want a good camera that gives you access to real-time video and audio of your personal space from any computer, then this is a good deal.
