Works as advertised; great camera for the money May 2, 2009 Andrew Arnold 14 out of 17 found this review helpful
I bought two of these cameras and set them up inside my home after several houses in my neighborhood were burglarized. I own mostly Macs and I am using the excellent EvoCam software by Evological to manage the cameras and allow me to view them via the web on a single web page. This software allows for more flexibility in responding to motion detection. For example, using an AppleScript I can queue intimidating music on my home stereo. One of the cameras is hardwired to my Time Capsule. The other is connected to an Airport Express (also used for AirTunes). These cameras do not offer good quality images in low-light conditions, however, motion detection still works very well, which is all that I need. One of the reviewers essentially complained that Trendnet was not able to help them configure their home network for them. You cannot expect a company that sold you a budget camera to then provide you with IT training. If you don't know the difference between a LAN and a WAN or what a port number is, then hire your son's techie friend to install these for you.
Easy to use January 7, 2009 Mark Lee Welton (Detroit Michigan) 3 out of 6 found this review helpful
This product was very easy to install. Not being an IT person this product scared me, but it was very easy to install and use for basic security use. I am purchasing three more of these cameras.
Works great but a bear to configure December 21, 2009 Darnell Wiley 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this camera to replace a Linksys WVC54GC that I had for 3 years. The Linksys never did work correctly. (I could only get the e-mail alerts if I said "no video". But it DID make the video. I ended up writing a batch file that sent me any videos it found once a minute. But the number of false alarms...JESUS!) But it did give me peace of mind after my break in.
The IP110 has WAY more features AND it cost less. But ooohhh you need almost a degree in networking to configure it. I exchanged a couple of e-mail with tech support before I got everything working. The manual needs work. I experienced the hanging and it losing the time when I was configuring it on my own. But once everything was configured correctly, it has been trouble-free.
Two notes for buyers:
1. This camera sends photos, not videos. Even the FTP just sends photos. It will MAKE motion detector-triggered videos, but it doesn't send them. I could use the batch file to send the videos like I use to, but the motion detector photos are fast and reliable. I can connect to the camera remotely from work in less than 10 seconds.
2. The manual talks about a Schedule Profile and a Motion Detector profile. The Motion Detector profile is self-explanatory. The Schedule Profile is used to have the camera e-mail photos constantly during a certain time period REGARDLESS of the motion detector. Not sure what the point of that is.
But overall I am very satisfied.
Good for the price March 25, 2009 Kristina L. Waters (Charlotte, NC United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I agree that the quality is not 'that' great, but i'm not sure what people are expecting at this price range. All I wanted was something to allow me to keep an eye on the inside of my house and my animals while I'm at work. This fits the bill fine at a very affordable price. I have one very long room that the camera works much better for, in the smaller room where i have one, it's tough to position the camera to get a good view of the room, so I can only get a portion. May want to consider something else if it's a fairly small space.
IP110 May 23, 2009 Harriram Oumadath 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this as my first venture into IP Security. I must admit, that at this price, it's a steal of a deal. Of course, low light visibility is no good as it is not a day/night. For home users, I would recommend the Trendnet line anytime. Excellent product for my needs. Next stop, Day/Night PTZ for outdoors.
