Panasonic BL-C111A Network Camera Wired

Purchased three of these cameras. So far no luck getting them operational even with several calls to Panasonic Tech support and Lynksis. Not Plug & Play-at all. Still may get them going with paid help from computer person.

Once the camera was set up to work over the internet it worked great. It allows me to keep an eye on a vacation home. Unfortunately, set-up was difficult without significant understanding of network terminology. May have been easier if our DSL router had UPnP. E-mail customer service provided me with the info that got it working after trying on my own for 2 days.

I have multiple routers in my apartment. Took my loooong time to figure out that both my main desktop PC and the camera must be connected to the router facing the incoming Internet connection. All other mixed connections did not work. And the router must support UPnP...

The image quality is decent.
Sound quality is very good, but only when I get the sound to work, which is less than 25% of the time. Extremely annoying and no help from Panasonic. That is why only 2 stars.

This is a very nice camera.I made a box for it with a glass front and put it outside.Works great and is not bad in sunlight.Easily set up to view on the web.If other people can't see your camera on the web your IP service provider is probably blocking your ports.I had to call mine and asked them to unblock the port I put the camera on.They did and it works fine now.

This was a purchase I received new from Amazon. Shipping was quick and item was very nice. I was not able to get it to work with my windows Vista premium so I requested a return. Amazon accepted the return and refunded my full purchase price including shipping. I was very pleased with the quick and smooth transaction from receiving to returning. Product appears to be a quality product, but my expertise at working out the bugs is fair at best. I bought the camera to monitor my home while I was gone with my computer to another state.
