Product Description

The KARE N5402JV Wireless/Wired Network IP cameras features in free DDNS, MSN host, pan/tilt function, night vision ability, remote internet viewing, motion detect as well as email alert via email or upload image to ftp. This KARE N5402JV is compatible with Linux/Win98/Win7/Win2000/Win XP/Vista/MAC OS and all standard browsers (IE8,Firefox,Chrome,Safari etc.) to suffice your different preferences on operating systems and browsers( no sound under Firefox ). This device has very appropriate dimensions for indoor installation. It has all the main features that many other IP cameras have and also have the features many other cameras don't have (free DDNS, MSN host). Both the high-performance and decent price contribute to your wise purchase.

Main Features Introduction:

Free DDNS
Manufacturer has set up a server in local US and gave this benefit to buyers. Each camera comes with "DDNS" attached on a label at the bottom of camera. There is no need for you to register a new one, it especially gives much convenience for those people who don't know how to get a "DDNS". You can enter the "DDNS" to PC software or APP of Smartphones to convenient viewing.

MSN Host
This device can enable you log in multiple MSN accounts on it. Once you add an idle MSN in the camera (you are also supposed to add it to your own MSN list), just send a "request message" to the idle MSN, you will be responded with the view link. The purpose of this feature is mainly for you to easily get access to the camera without any thinking. It's also a great idea to share the idle MSN with your families who don't know much about network knowledge.

Motion Detect and Email Alert
It's impossible to view the camera all the time, let motion detect function help you. Whenever there is a move, it snapshots images and upload to your email or FTP, Record video on your local PC

Pros:
- Reasonably easy setup, took me less than one hour to have camera up and running on network
- Best value when compared to competition
- Camera resolution, even in low light is great

Cons:
- User guide mildly confusing (some broken english)

Overall - I was looking for an inexpensive camera to 'get my feet wet' in the IP Camera world. Reading reviews of the more popular brands (Cisco, Foscam and others) just led to more confusion. So in the end, since I was really just a price shopper I decided on the previously unreviewed KARE N5402JV. So far I am not disappointed... at all! Setup was reasonably easy (IF you consider yourself on the technical side and are familiar with IP architecture, configuring a router and generally configuring an IP based device). Although setup seemed fairly intuitive to me, I realize I have a great leg up on the average user.

Things could be a lot easier if KARE would have someone rewrite their installation manual, one with an understanding of how to guide the non-technical user through an install (I'd volunteer). Without it they *may* be limiting their sales of an otherwise fine product. After installing my first I ordered 2 more.

If I get a chance I'll add a more extensive review after I've used the camera a bit more and under varying circumstances.

June 7, 2011 - Just an additional comment for now. I've had my first camera up and running for 2 weeks now and still very happy. I set up the motion-sensed, picture taking, send me an email function and it hasn't skipped a beat. I opted for wireless rather that run a cable to the camera and have no problems with a good connection (router is on 2nd floor, camera on first). I get a couple of shots a day of my dog and cat when they decide to stir. The camera is hooked up to an X-10 Appliance module and that too is on a timer. That makes it easy to shut it off when needed (using a Palm Pad remote). So to avoid getting unnecessary self portraits I turn it off when in the room. If I forget to turn it back on, it's on an X-10 schedule to turn on every day, a couple of times to ensure it's up and running if I'm not there.

As I mentioned previously, I purchased 2 more cameras and will install soon. At that time I'll be taking notes on the rough spots in the manual. Will post again when I have finally installed the additional cams.

The manual wouldn't open in word, had to use open office.

With firmware update, works great with internet explorer, firefox, and with Safari.

Great gadget for the price! Also allows you to view multiple cameras through one forwarded port, without special software.

I have dlink, linksys, trendnet, hootoo, and others. This is my best camera. Also works with security spy ( without pan/tilt). Just say its a dlink 900.

But the manual is on one of those dang mini CDs that nothing modern will accept anymore...

Pros: Decent video for price, quiet pan and zoom, ethernet connection works well
Cons: Audio only works with IE browser, wireless connection does not work, no support online or via email

I've not been pleased with this camera. It's inexpensive and you get what you pay for :(. The pros and cons say most of it. The camera itself is OK as is the video and audio quality; it's not HD, but plenty good enough for what you're paying. It wasn't too hard to set up, as much as it could be, via the ethernet connection.

The issues though make it unusable for what I want. The wireless connection issue is the most frustrating because I bought this camera to use wirelessly. Scanning for wireless networks only works maybe one in 10 times. Wireless network information can be entered manually, but it will not connect to the wireless network.

I also intended to use this camera to stream the audio feed to IP audio devices, but the audio feed appears to depend upon DirectX and thus only works with IE browser.

Support is non-existent. I've read here that there is a firmware upgrade for the camera, but the manufacturer web site does not list this model and has no firmware updates on it. I emailed the seller via Amazon and have not heard back from them either.

Overall it's not a bad camera if you want an ethernet IP camera that works best with IE, but other than that avoid it.
