I can’t give this three stars – it does do everything it says it does – so four it is.
The dual camera function is interesting- the “Panoramic” view is no where near as wide as the area that the pan and tilt cover with the other camera – its actually not all that wide.
The pan and tilt camera is a nice “close” field of view but it would be better complimented if the wide view was wider – much wider.
The abiulity to position the movable camera by touching in the wide view is cool – and works well.
The camera can be set up as wired ethernet or wireless but seems to start over in the configuration when you switch- not a problem but was a little confusing at first – it does work both ways.
Unfortunately, this is not a POE camera – it requires a power line to the camera to operate.
The little camera is kind of cute and looks a bit like Eve from Wally –
The housing is all plastic and the extended lights on either side are somewhat vulnerable – – as are the two antennas – it all works fine but I think it would have trouble with strong winds(bounces the image around) and its not tough enough to be in a location that needs to be even slightly vandal resistant – this would be fairly easy to break.
Image performance is good but in a day of higher resolution cameras, the HD image doesn’t stand out as a cutting edge feature but more an expected minimum.
Day and night performance is good but the IR is very visible – not a more covert type like using 940nm illumination (which is invisible)
The WiFi connection seems a little troubled – more than half the time I connect it says that it can’t due to poor connection strength – but its 12′ from the router with no obstructions – so not sure what’s going on there – it does connect but may take 2-3 tries to do so.
App on iPhone works fine.
Overall, its an interesting idea and an interesting camera – image quality is ok and everything works – I wish it was a little tougher – I’ll be watching to see what a fat tree squirrel does when he sees it move –
