All in all, the is a pretty good IP Camera. The images are clear and crisp enough to be usuable for identification purposes.

I have personally setup four of the these cameras to monitor a data
center and office location. Physical setup is relatively easy. If you expect to use the more robust features of email notification, and saving images to a FTP server, you should obviously be pretty technically sound.

In six months of use, they have been very reliable, and stable. Very rarely, they tend to lock up. A simple restart (from a remote computer) is a quick and easy process to set it straight again.

I am actually considering setting some up around my home for survelliance. There are cheaper cameras, but I really like the option to store pictures based off of motion detection to a separate location, or email them to me as they que off. Very slick.

I have used one of these for over one year without a hitch. I use it primarily to monitor my lake cottage when I am traveling on the road. The motion detection software built in is excellent - very configurable to eliminate 'false positives', and much better than a PC based full-blown security system I use for home security. I spent over 1K for the PC system and professional grade cameras, etc and the Axis works better, was eaiser to configure, and the picture quality is better.
I have it set up to automatically send me a daily snapshot via e-mail to know things are ok. Also, I have logged in - literally from around the world - via a web browser to see the live feed. You can also configure the camera via the web browser.

The Axis always works and picture quality is great. A well developed and mature product.

Excellent product. Had an earlier version which has been running 24/7 for the last couple of years without problems.
