Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Beware of ATT 2wire router Comment: The unit was very easy to get working and configure but I could never get it to work with the 2Wire Router that comes standard on all ATT/ Yahoo DSL accounts. The 2Wire Router does not support UDP so you can not view the images on the internet through the free provided service. There was a supposed work around for the 2Wire but after a lot of time with tech I could never get it to work. It did work fine when viewed on the local network but some of the feature options seemed to lock up and I had to reboot it to be able to change them. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Little Camera Comment: The Panasonic BLC1A was easy to install in my Local Area Network and produces clear pictures even in dim lit (not dark) rooms. The motion on the video is of course, delayed a little but better than I expected. I especially like the option to email pictures at chosen intervals. The directions to view the camera output over the internet is confusing. I am network and Internet literate but still have not managed to view the output over the Internet. Customer Rating: Summary: A bit misleading Comment: The camera works as advertised, but I find the advertisement(s) to be a hint misleading. I wanted to set the camera up, have it buffer the images locally, and I would then plug it back into my router at the end of the day and review the images. 1. The camera requires a network connection to boot up/initialize. Since it's not wireless, that means a wired connection to a router must be present at all times in order for the camera to operate. 2. The onboard cache of the camera is tiny, so storing images locally is not a viable option anyway. So, again, the camera works as advertised and perhaps I simply purchased the wrong tool for the job. However, when they wrote that no local computer was necessary, I mistakenly assumed that (also) meant no constantly connected network. I'm off to buy a (much longer) Cat5/6 network cable. Customer Rating: Summary: My BLC1A review after 2+ years use... Comment: We use these in our retail store. We need motion detection for nighttime and snapshots during the open hours, the ability to push the images offsite quickly, and the ability to snag live snapshots from our web server via our blackberry phones, and connect directly via the internet. This camera does it all at a really good price, especially if you look at other commercial solutions. Not a single problem with the stability of the camera, after 2+ years!!! The power supplies last about 2 years it seems, I have 3 cameras and I've replaced 2 supplies in the past month (no big deal, they are $15 at Fryes.) They are small and not noticed by customers, since our walls are white. I have noticed other businesses are using them also (the local hooters!). I used the provided software on an XP machine to give them an initial IP address and password, from there on, it's all via their web interface. Getting live snapshots is simply a matter of finding the right URL to use, and with some digging on Panasonic's site, you'll find a CGI/Developer manual that spells it all out, technically, but very thorough. The FTP (outbound from camera) setup seemed a bit tough at first but a bit of playing and I got it working. Can't fault the camera or Panasonic. This is a really good value, and if youre a bit technical, you may really find this camera lets you do a lot of complex stuff like notification and web site integration for cheap! Panasonic dropped their web service I think. I dont use it anyhow. And the IE requirement is only for the ActiveX control, which allows a pseudo zoom/pan feature anyhow. Other browsers work fine. Get em before Panasonic decides to drop them for the next 'improved' model! It's about time for that to happen, they have been out on the market for a while. -=RB Customer Rating: Summary: Panasonic Pet CAm BLC1A Comment: I thought the camera worked great. The set up was not difficult but be aware you will need to purchase a router and a cat 5 cable if you do not have one.
