 Easy set up September 7, 2010
Harold W. Skolnick (Belleair Bluffs, Florida USA)
Network Cameras can be tricky to set up. This one worked in 15 minutes.
 All Marketing Hype and No Remote Access September 7, 2010
John Q Public (San Antonio, TX)
I was very dissapointed in this product, especially after reading possitive reviews that it was easy to set up. This stupid camera installation was a total fiasco! The documentation is terrible and even two hours with Linksys support could not get the motion detection, email notification or TZO setup to work.
I have plenty of expereience with all kinds of computer and networking equipment and this level of failure on the part of Linksys was totally unexpected and extreemly frustrating.
Don't waste YOUR weekend trying to get half baked equipment to work. Save your receipt - you'll need it!
DON'T BUY THIS IF YOU ARE ON A MAC September 6, 2010
M. Yang (Playa Vista, CA United States)
The software CD that comes with the product does not have a camera utility for viewing on the mac only on Windows. So you have to view it in a small window on a web browser. Also the microphone does not work on a mac. Also unless you have a linksys router, the remote viewing with TZO does not work. The setup software doesn't even give you the option to try the free 90 day TZO subscription, it just says "Congratulations, your set up is complete" and doesn't give you ANY instructions on how to even view the camera.
The quality of the video was actually not bad, especially in low light. But I'm not paying close to $150 for a camera that is crippled and does not work as advertised and have all of the functions and is advertised as mac compatible.
 Not great with Macs September 5, 2010
Mac User
This camera loaded very well on my Mac, but I was not able to use the program that comes on the CD to setup the camera and it's features. I guess I am not tech savvy enough to do it by myself and needed the guidance of the camera setting program.
Almost great September 5, 2010
James May (Simi Valley, CA)
This camera works pretty well and for the most part was easy to set up. However I could not get the motion detect e-mail function to work. I spent hours on the phone with tech services and they finally decided the camera was bad and that I should have Amazon replace it (which Amazon did promptly and efficiently). That however did not help my problem. I spent another hour or so with tech services and they forwarded me to the secondary tech (a day or so later). This tech let me know that AT&T (my DSL provider) has port 25 blocked (for safety?). He said primary tech support should know about that but clearly they did not. I went to AT&T and got them to unblock port 25 and that sort of solved the problem. The test e-mail works but the motion detection only works occasionally.
Setting up remote viewing was extremely easy as was all the rest of the set up (except motion detect e-mail). The picture is decent. If the motion detect e-mail worked this would be a 5 star product in my mind. I use it along with a self installed security system that dials me when entry is detected for when I am out of town. I have the camera and my router/modem on a UPS so that they work even if the electricity is out. When I am home, I can easily set it up to monitor the front door (or the back yard). Theoretically you can set up more than one camera to monitor multiple locations in the house.
The camera that I got only works on 2.4 gig wireless N. I would have preferred it to work on the 5 gig wireless N but I guess you can't have everything.
