Panasonic BL-C1A - Network camera - color - 10/100

The Panasonic BL-C1A is a very feature rich camera with its simplicity of power and network setup and simple menu driven setup menus. The additional compatibility with internet capable cell phones to pull up and view whatever the camera is viewing at...

Found a workaround for the Subnet limitation. If I create another subnet for the camera and then create a NAT address for it in the router, the camera will accept traffic from outside subnets. Basically simulating a small network for the camera

It would be a lot eaier if they just allowed all traffic to the camera or at least had the option to turn off the firewall so other subnets could see the camera

Image quality is not bad

This camera will not work if you have multiple subnets, it only works if you have one router with one network. All I needed was a cheap network camera and due to the programming of the firmware, this camera will not work on my network. Very dissapointed

For a cheap IP camera, this is a pretty good deal. It does image and video capture and real-time streaming. If you have an Android phone you can use IP Can Viewer Lite to see what your camera is seeing. I found that very helpful last time I traveled...

Low light not the best, but it's a cheap camera. Instructions aren't too helpful (and the software that comes with it isn't the best - Google this camera for lots of helpful setup and capture info)

never work

I am a couple of years TCP/IP network programming. I thought I should be able to setup this network camera without any problem so I ignore other owner's message about never working issue but I am wrong ; I have tried a couple of time but still doesn't...

Probably the best camera you are going to find for this price. Night vision is not the best, but even with my porch lights it's fine. If you are looking to place this in total darkness or without any light at all, then pass on this camera

Not many. It's a $60 camera.... Hard to complain about a cheap camera, you get what you pay for

Works good for the price, notice is called a "pet cam ; Not too hard to set up IF you follow the instructions ; Have had 3 of these in my mothers house for 3 of 4 years, with very little proplems. see cons

Power cords go bad after a year or two. All 3 of mine have. Its ok, Radio Shack has generic ones for like $10 ; Like most wireless devices they have to be unpluged once or twice a year ; I cannot get them to work with my Andoid cell phone. Requires...

Cheap, decent looking

Does not record videos

Works great ; Easy to set up

Only reason I took an egg off is because it comes with trial software that has limited functionality, and the full version costs 300 bucks and is hard to get. you have to get it via 3rd party sites

Easy to set-up. Sharp image. Can be seen from the internet with auto-setup (Upnp) and user/password you set in the http server that the camera has

Can't see anything in the dark (I have a dark backyard, and at night I can see only the solar powered lights in it, no other details). If need night vision, don't get this one. Otherwise, with some light it works just fine
