Be careful what you wish forAug 27, 2008
By Wilson Bilkovich If you are looking for a high-quality day/night camera with an IR illuminator, and you intend to plug it into an all-Windows environment, this may be the camera for you.
Pros:
Video quality is good, and the optics work as advertised.
Looks cool and feels very sturdy.
Attractive price for the feature set.
Cons:
Horrible setup process that must be run from Windows.
Mediocre documentation
An analog video output would be nice for troubleshooting.
I plugged this in expecting to be able to hit an HTTP interface by setting up a network interface on the same subnet as the default address from the manual.
Unfortunately, nothing is listening on port 80 until you run the setup program on the CD (Windows only) and wait for the camera to initialize.
Once you have done that, you are treated to a hodge-podge of ghastly user interfaces.
If you are intending to use this camera with an application that has known compatibility for it, then you can probably put those issues behind you and be happy with this device. Make sure you are in the above category before pulling the trigger, however.
I've returned mine and am looking at the Axis 214 PTZ and Sony SNC-RZ50N as replacements. I'll report back when I have one installed.
Edit: One week later.. I now have one of these:
Toshiba 22X Optical Zoom Ptz Netcam 30 Fps 2WAY Audio with Sd Card Slot
(which inexplicably has gone up in price almost $100 since I purchased mine..) and I am very happy. Even the quick install card suggests using ping to verify that the camera is online.
Cons: Irritating ActiveX web interface is something you will want to make sure you can avoid using before purchasing.
Pros: Everything else.
