5.0 out of 5 stars great security cameras, January 9, 2008

Just ordered another Axis 207 camera to add to our 25 camera security system. Have not had any issues with these cameras in the two years of service. These cameras are good in low light and offer a good wide angle picture.

I noticed they have updated the firmware on the last few we purchased. A few more picture settings and control over network functions (bandwidth, FTP, etc)

Much better than the couple Axis 206 cameras we have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Home Monitoring Device, February 17, 2009

I purhcased my Axis 207 camera about 2 years ago. I mainly got it as a home monitoring device and as a way to keep an eye on the dogs while I was gone during the day. This product has been amazing. It was a little tricky to install, but the Axis customer service people are wonderful and very helpful. When I had trouble registering with the DNS service, the customer service folks worked with me until the issue was completely resolve.

The installation of these devices is not for the faint of heart - installation is tricky and you have to be prepared with a bit of time and patience. That being said, I recently moved and re-installed the camera completely SOLO at my new residence (no customer service). There is a learning curve involved for those of us who know nothing about home networking.

But about the camera itself - the image is crystal clear and you can use different settings to pick up sound as well. The camera has been extremely reliable. Once you've gone through the basic set up, it only requires that you leave your internet on at all times (computer can be turned off). This is a basic stationary camera so it can't pan or do anything fancy. However, in my home, I've found that it provides a nice shot of our living room and front entrance, which is where I most want to be able to see things during the day.

I've had the camera for 2 years and it has held up very well. The best part of this device, by far, is the customer support you get when you make the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic network camera - best I've ever tested, May 2, 2008

The Axis 0235-004 Network Camera is the best camera I've ever tested. I can't say enough good things about this camera. I've tried other, less expensive cameras, and have always been disappointed with them, both operational-wise and software-wise.

Other cheap cameras (Gadspot comes to mind), lock up after a day or so, have a grainy quality to the image, and sometimes the colors and hue are off.

This Axis camera has NEVER locked up (probably due to the built-in Linux operating system), has a great quality picture, even in near-darkness. Some people complain that the focus ring on the camera breaks off. I have never had to touch the focus ring, so I haven't experienced that problem.

This is a small network camera that does amazing things, including encoding both JPEG video and MPEG4 video. You can even have it automatically upload a photo to an FTP server if it detects movement. It can also email you a photo attachment.

This camera is inside my garage window, between the mini-blinds and the glass, so you can see the mini-blind reflection in the picture, sorry. The camera isn't water-proof, so I didn't want to put it outside. But you can see the quality there.

It makes a great addition to a home alarm system.
