2.0 out of 5 stars Poor picture, Internet Explorer only, February 16, 2008

By

Even on IE the picture is tiny and grainy. We have to leave a light on in the room, even during the day to see anything, so apparently the lens requires a lot of light.

The Windows requirement is not just for the setup wizard like some other Linksys products; it requires Internet Explorer to view the picture, so don't plan on sharing the video with any Mac or Linux users.

Setup and connection are easy though and the motion sensor and alert features are helpful. I just think that there are cameras out for half the price, so I'll try another model next time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Linksys Wireless Color Nest Camera Project, December 9, 2007

By 

Bluebird Shepherd "Bluebird Shepherd" (Cary, NC USA) - See all my reviews

If you have access to a wireless broadband network, the Linksys WVC54GC wireless color camera works very well in nest camera applications up to a distance of approximately 100-150 feet from the router. By using a wireless network range extender(Linksys WRE54G), the distance between the camera and the network can be increased. The camera has an embedded web server that supports up to (4) concurrent Internet browser users. The web server enables nest activities to be shared on a real-time basis through the Internet. The camera's compact size and low profile make it ideal for nest camera applications.
