3.0 out of 5 stars Nice camera but limitations for use as a complete package baby monitor May 28, 2012

By Sofia Celic

We have been looking for a setup to use as a baby monitor. After finding limitations with all of the products sold specifically as baby monitors (with camera and parent units) we decided to broaden the scope and evaluate products like this one (Loftek Specter IP Wireless Wired Camera, remote pan/tilt rotate) since we have enough technology skills to give it a go.

This is a nice camera - it seems well constructed and sturdy. I love the range of rotation, pan and tilt; as well as the quality of video feed during the day and night. The camera has a built-in microphone and speaker that seem to work well enough. The camera is quiet enough when being rotated that my little one has not noticed it while awake and lying quietly in her crib.

The camera takes some technology knowledge to set up so this product is not for everyone. If you are comfortable with setting up devices to work through your router then you should be fine.

Provided device support is where this product disappoints for our purposes. All of the functions are available when using Internet Explorer (IE) browser with ActiveX or VLC plugin enabled. This is fine if I am sitting by my PC. However, I want to be able to use my other, more mobile, devices such as my Android smartphone and Kindle Fire. These devices are the ones that are on my bedside table during the night and my mobile phone is usually in my pocket or nearby no matter where in the house I am during my little one's daytime sleep. The camera functions are limited when using anything other than IE on a PC. I have found it difficult to control the camera's rotation/pan/tilt on my handheld devices - the clickable area is small and requires a series of taps to move the camera instead of "holding down" on the clickable area to move the camera faster in a particular direction - and features such as audio and talk are not available. There is no app by Loftek for this product. There are third-party apps on the market but the permissions they require give me pause. I would much prefer Loftek to provide apps for using their camera.

There are some bizarre items in the owner's manual. In particular, upgrading firmware is strongly cautioned: "Please don't upgrade the firmware freely. Sometimes, your camera may be damaged if wrong operation during upgrade. If your camera works well with the current firmware, we recommend you'd better not upgrade it."

I'm changing my rating from two stars to three because the quality of the camera has been good enough for us to keep and use with third-party apps. My major criticisms are the lack of apps by Loftek, the clicking sound it makes when cycling nightvision on and off at dawn and dusk, and the fact that it resets itself every now and again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent camera, but FYI. May 16, 2012

By Jumpin_jack

So I bought this, but not the 'baby camera' version. This really isn't a baby camera per se it's just a camera that could be used as a baby camera if you wanted.

Anyhow. This camera functions well and does everything it says it will. I just wanted to let those of you who are buying this know that this is a re-branded camera. The original camera is an Apexis APM-J803-WS. I don't know how or why but 'Loftek' just ripped off the apexis sticker from the bottom, put a new name plate on the front of the camera and put their own firmware in to call it their own.

I know all of this because (and I don't recommend you do this) I ripped the guts out of the camera so I could paint the housing to blend in as a security camera, looked at the PCB inside and found the Apexis model number APM-J803-WS.

As I said the camera seems to work as intended and is a decent product for the price, but you may not be able to use the official firmware from Apexis should you want to and I'm not sure what kind of customer support 'Loftek' will provide.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nightmare to use with Apple July 3, 2012

By nomdeplume

I'd guess this camera can work as described, BUT it was a nightmare to try to set up with my Apple products. It is clearly made for a Windows and IE environment, and the instruction booklet was useless for Apple. I was able to get the video working, but the interface is in no way user friendly and it does not support audio on my iPhone or iPad. I spent about 15 minutes trying to set up the WiFi before realizing this product wouldn't fit my baby monitor needs in an Apple environment.

Had the description been clear about what devices you can use with it easily and what functions they allow would have saved me from wasting my time and money on this. Furthermore, Amazon only gave us 2 days to return the product after we rec'd it (and we have prime) - glad we just squeaked by, and wish this had been noted at any point during our order - it was not.
