This is a remarkable device and well worth the money. It has a wide range of scan and tilt, good picture quality, especially within 100 feet of its objects, and outstanding sound pick-up. The documentation, as commented elsewhere, doesn't adequately cover port forwarding (necesssary if you want to view your picture from over the internet), so you will undoubtedly end up in long sessions with their telephone tech support people (who are not uniformly knowledgeable, so you'll probably end up calling ...

The camera meets the expectations drawn from the published literature. The documentation, however, is less than satisfactory. I am particularly displeased with the detail relating to the use over the internet. My camera ceased operation over the internet a week after I left home. Nothing in the literature explains the fault or offers a method of correction. Kudos for Amazon's posting of the Panasonic installation video.

I bought this camera through ebay and got a good deal ([...]refurbished but looks and works fine) to use for my home weather station. The setup was a bit difficult for my Mac (2007 imac) because the enclosed software is PC only. It is also strange that the only way to set it up is via an ethernet cable, even though it is a wireless camera. After a few calls to Panasonic (very minimal wait time and intelligent and helpful staff - WAY TO GO PANASONIC!!!) I am up and running with all of the features. ... Read More

I couldn't get it to work on the internet, but will try again... Because I could tell for sure the problem was me, and not the product. I can see no reason not to recommend this camera. It seems to be exactly as advertised.

I own 6 webcams from two different manufacturers (Toshiba, D-Link). This Panasonic blows them all away. Setup was a breeze, Image quality is great (although it doesn't do as well as my Toshiba in low light) and the performance of it's "streaming" video mode is 2-3x better (frame rate) than my other cams. I thought the motion-detect/store would be a "throw-away" feature, but it's turned out to be very effective. I'm planning on gradually replacing my other cams with more of the Panasonics! Very highly ... Read More
