I am so happy to be able to check on my cat while on vacation, at work, etc. I am very happy with this petcam. I recommend this to those people who, like me, are very protective of their pets. Picture is fine and I like how I can zoom in to see her closer. I did need help getting it all connected, but after that it works fine. If you're not really computer savvy I think you will need help.
Username PW etc. Another great camera is the Axis 207W and 207MW. I put in a one star review earlier but I was wrong. I had to get on the phone with panasonic support which I recommend. Again, if your not good with this I would recommend having Panasonic walk you through it. Then the light on the camera went solid green. Do the initial setup.
I need the WPA2 so I am returning this camera and getting the BL-C121A which is not out yet but will work for me. It only supports WEP.
I had to go into my network settings and manually set the IP: 192.168.0.3 - Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 - Router: 192.168.0.254. NOTE: this camera does not support WPA/WPA2 Personal.
This does work with mac but it takes some time to set up. Then you have to go and set the wireless settings first and then change the network settings back to 10.0.0.X When you restart the camera and switch it to wireless it should work.
Very easy to set up with macs but it is $400. I had to turn off my wireless airport and hook up the camera directly to my computer via ethernet.
Then I opened up Safari and put in the camera's IP 192.168.0.253.
Also, the camera works wirelessly only on WEP security and i use WPA. But i could not use the RECORDING software with my VISTA machine - i would have thought by now most companies would have their drivers compeleted for VISTA. So as advanced as this camera may seem, it still has some catching up to do to get full optimal functionality. The Panasonice BL-C20A is a smart product. Loved the easy setup and the quality of picture.
I am not recommending this item. I can not view it most of time when I am away. i think b131A is better. I am actually very disapointed in this item. As somebody already mentioned in their review, it is working well as long as it is connected, but unfortunately the connection is really not very reliable.
The video is pretty decent. It does work wirelessly, just not on Google Chrome. Happy with it overall now Amazon wont let me change the stars. I finally got through to tech support.
