Rating: - GREAT, BUT IT TAKES SOME TIME TO SET IT UP
It takes a little time to set it up if you want to use it as a camera to stream video over the internet. (look below for detailed instructions).
The video is great. The nightvision is great. The audio is great.

Rating: - Does what it says it does
I bought this to basically serve as a baby monitor.It works great and is much better than the stand alone, purpose-built systems that you can buy.The camera does what it says it will, and works great in total darkness.

The other reviews that discuss the horrible documentation are right though.The manual that comes with it is scarce on specifics.It does take some time and finesse to set it up with your wireless system, but if you're computer literate or just willing to put in ... Read More
Rating: - A great Wireless Internet Camera
Although the instructions included with the camera are not very helpful, a little research on the internet was all it took to get it up and running.A little knowledge of computers is a must.Combined with the Trendnet TV-M7 Wireless Camera Monitor it makes a great baby monitor that can also be monitored remotely.
Rating: - For the Price, it's a decent IP camera with night day/night vision
I'd really give this camera 3.5 stars.If setup were easier, it would be a solid 4, if it didn't have manual focus 4.5, if all of above were true and the company's manual or website gave decent support, it would be 5 stars because of the low costs but high features.

My Trendnet IP312W is connected to a Mac (OS X Leopard) airport express network used for home and baby monitoring. Mac support from Trendnet's site and manual for this product is woefully low.

Rating: - Great Night mode.Poor Day Mode.Not so hard to setup.Frustrating Limitations.
You can't find a better device at this price point, but it does come with some annoyances and limitations.

Things I Like:
- Really great night mode via built-in infrared lights.
- Stable.No crashes or hiccups in the month I've had it.
- Solid construction.The camera and included mounting bracket are very sturdy.
- MPEG streaming video.Really nice quality, and a fraction of the bandwidth required by MJPEG standards, so there's less "internet lag."
