- Great value for the price
This camera is a great value at it's price, sure it's not the best you can buy, but it has features and performs like a more expensive product. I only have great things to say about this cam. Give it a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed. One thing I especially like about this cam is the remote pan and tilt which works so well. The cam has been very reliable even though it's wireless. For the price you won't find a better quality product.

- Hard set-up. Call tech support before trying too hard!
I bought this camera after looking at the star rating. Seemed like it should be easy enough... Wrong!I am fairly computer savvy (at least compared to most I know) and I had a horrible time.I spent 6 hours messing with my router, my firewall, and the camera.I finally read the reviews further and realized that almost everyone had to call Tech.Do your self a favor... As soon as you have a problem call them. They speak real english and everything! 1-800-272-7033.

Rating: - Excellent camera
Having read some of the previous reviews I was expecting a difficult setup process involving multiple calls to Panasonic customer service but I was delighted to find out that it worked straight out of the box onto my wireless network. I think the reason why it was so easy for me is that my Dlink router supports uPnP which automatically configures many of the required settings including port forwarding.
Video works perfectly on both my PC and MAC and i'd thoroughly recommend this Network ... Read More
Rating: - Reliability King
Have a couple of these and one of them has been on for more than 6 month without the need of reboot or what so ever. The second one has been on for a month and appears to behave the same. The down side is that it is more difficult and expensive to get it now than 6 months ago.
