User Reviews about Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera Wireless 802.11

I really like it as I have been watching my home while I am away at work.
-- Wonderful!

I love my new little wireless toy! I found many uses and applications for it and it turned out to be both fun and useful. Here are some of the ways I use it... When I'm away from home I can check when my UPS delivery was done or when my assistants come or go from the office (I have a home office with two assistants) I also use it to check on kids when I'm not around, provided they don't unplug it (it happened once) :) When I'm too lazy to get out of bed, I check the weather or snow outside. I installed it in such an angle so I can move it left-right and can see both outside and inside the living room. I set a few preset points to be able to change position easily and quickly. I love the sound, I sometimes use it to communicate with my friends or my family in Europe. Next step is to get the controller and add more pieces to my wireless home - the wireless lock, the thermostat, light switches, etc. The camera will be programmed to record and save events during the day so I can review them at night. I wish the camera had a bigger range of motion left to right so it could cover more ground and I wish also it had zoom - but I guess these features come with a higher price. All in all I'm very happy with this new toy and with the possibilities it creates. -- Love this new little toy!

Having tried and regretted many IP camera purchases (esp. Linksys) in the past, I researched and compared other pan/tilt/zoom cameras before finally arriving at the BL-C131A. While the one I purchased was used, it still worked like a charm, and from what I can tell went through the same setup steps that a brand new device would.

Originally, I hooked it into my wired LAN so I could access-then-configure it via the software, and while it took a minute or two to find, once it was discovered the rest of the setup was a breeze. It's now wirelessly connected downstairs to my Linksys WRT300N upstairs, and has been going strong for days. I often log in from work just to check on things at home, and make sure nothing's amiss.

While cool, it also is hopefully going to help serve as a nannycam. The main challenge in doing that is that I cannot record video easily to my website (for review at end of day). This is a major downer for me, but the ease of use and fantastic pan/tilt/zoom features make up for the loss (while I'm looking for solutions).

All in all, it's a great cam which fits the needs I've got now, and hopefully will work for my future needs as well. If it does, I'll be getting a couple more to complete the kit. -- Great IP Camera - Nannycam Functions TBD

Ok. I am better than the average bear at computers, but having multiple ones in y house created a problem. It took forever to set these up and had to have a friend do it for us.

However, these cameras are great. The picture and sounds quality in nice. I bought these for home survelliance to watch my twins and my nanny and I am pleased.

I also own a Motorola Droid and am searcing for apps to let me stream the webcams to my phone. Right now I can only view stationary images, but hope to resolve this soon.

Overall, great cameras at a great price. I would buy them again. -- Hard to set up multiple cams, but great once you have
