Ok while it works, lacks wireless encryption options Oct 19, 2008 I bought this camera a little over a year ago and it has worked fine until recently it became unresponsive. The only beef I had with it was that it only supported WEP for wireless encryption which is older and less secure than WPA/WPA2. I would recommend looking for a different network camera as this one wont last long.
Excellent value. Aug 08, 2008 very good picture quality and motion detection. very flexible configuration. i have it set up in the living room, and it sends me email, cell text and cell picture snapshot when motion is detected while i am gone. can be turned on/off and configured using configuration parameters within a URL via a browser (http://panasonic.co.jp/pcc/products/en/netwkcam/download/us/document/new_cam_cgi_v106a.pdf). will be ordering at least a couple more of these cameras.
Wonderful once you get past the setup Aug 08, 2008 I bought this camera so I could monitor my cat's eating. The setup was not easy for me--I am fairly tech savvy but the documentation is very poor. After two hours of trial and error I was able to get the wireless to function and the camera to send me e-mails. However I had to call Panasonic tech support to set up the remote viewing. Apparently my router (a Westell customized for Verizon) did not support the necessary protocol so I had to update some settings. Tech support was great--and you get to talk to someone in the U.S. They had me set up in about 15 minutes.
The camera functions as promised. Whenever my cats set off the motion detector I get an e-mail sent to me. I can also go to a web browser periodically and see what they are up to. I would buy this again.

Finally Set Up (Maybe) After Three Days and Many Calls to Tech Support Aug 07, 2008 It took forever to set this up. The instructions were not detailed. Any time that we were stuck setting it up, we had to call panasonic, linksys (router), and our ISP. We had to bridge our modem, change ports countless times, and do many other things I had never heard of. Also, trying to view the camera on our smartphones (Blackberry Curve and Pearl)was a challenge which involved calls to Blackberry, our cell phone service, panasonic, and ISP. It does finally work and the picture quality is good for the price. If you have time to spare and knowledge of computers, this is a good purchase.
P.S. to view the camera from your phone, type "/mobile" or "/mobilex" at the end of "http://domainname.viewnetcam.com"

Don't try it with a Mac Aug 06, 2008 I would imagine this is a great wireless cam in a windows environment; however, I was completely unable to get it set-up (as in just recognized as existing) on the network using a Intel chip Apple MacBook, even after trying it under Windows XP on the Macbook. I guess if I spent several days researching and calling support we could have eventually found out a way to get it set-up, but life is too short to waste time on that.
