I am still think this is a nice device but be carefull where do you buy it. I bought it on Amazon and it was defective. I saw somebody else’s review with the same problem and after I got a defective replacement I do not think this was just bad luck. It took me a long time to set them up wireless as I expected because I am not a IT guy but that this happened because the cameras were defective make me mad. Now (just a couple of months later since I got the camera from Amazon and hardly use of it) I will have to pay shipping again to get the manufacturer replace it due that the guarantee with Amazon is expired. Well, maybe I wouldn’t want to get another one from Amazon anyway.

I was so excited about this camara. I followed the set up instructions to a T. The camara worked while wired but not when I went wireless. Hmmm, I thought something was wrong with my router. I rebooted the router. Still didn’t work. I called in an IT pro. Then another. After 6+ hours and 2 professionals, concluded the camara was defective. It lost signal once unplugged so I was unable to move it from the initial set up spot.
I just sent it back to Amazon yesterday and am waiting my refund.
I went to Best Buy and bought the Panasonic wireless pan/tilt and set the whole thing up in 10 minutes, works like a charm.
This camara did seem cool when it worked while wired but it was not worth the headache it caused me trying to get it to work wirelessly.
Also, the pricing is whacked. When shopping for the camara it was around $275. When I went to finalize my purchase it was $312 but now it shows it is back to $275 – what’s up with that?

Since this was not my first camera setup was simple. Typical plug in the cable and setup the camera then downloaded and installed the latest firmware. That part was ok.
Once setup the camera picture did not contain true colors of what is being seen. There was also a constant clicking noise when listening.
Support informed me the color was because of the infared feature. The noise was explained as a sensitive microphone. No fix was forthcoming.
On the up side the infared and motion detection work well. If you hook up speakers for two way conversation place them well away from the camera.

Had a defective one at first and had to send it back to Amazon. Returned it for a replacement without any problems. Fast, efficient return system. The replacement unit is fine.
The product does as they claim but it can use a few upgrades such as;
1. Give the user the capability to turn off the IR lighting.
2. It’s nice that Trendnet gives the end user their SecurView software included in the box but there is no instructions on how to setup and use it. I’m still trying to learn it.
3. Could use a real zoom lens; not the digital zoom. Too pixelated when zooming in. Basically useless zoom feature.

The signal connection was never able to establish in my garage, for some reason. The Ipsetup could not detect the camera. Once, the camera was powered off for half an hour before regaining the signal. Other than sporaticcally slow regain of signal at some locations after reset, it works fine.
