4Easy to set up, flexible, poor low light performanceOct 21, 2004
I've been fairly happy with this one. It's very flexible - there are lots of configurable options, dynamic DNS support, external sensor input (contact open / closure types, or build your own interface circuit), in-memory buffer. Picture quality under good lighting is acceptable though not remarkable.

The camera accepts threaded 30.5mm lens attachments (usually used for camcorder). I have a UV filter on mine.

However performance under low light is quite bad. You can use the external I/O connectors to trigger turning on lights, but you'd need to build your own device to do it. Manual could be written better. Viewing live video (motion JPEG) requires you to download ActiveX control, which I haven't figured out if there's a workaround for Linux and Opera on Windows.

I rate this 4 stars because I got mine for considerably less than $200. At this price, I would probably rate it 3 stars.
