Camera works better than expected once installed but had to RMA it twice before I got one that worked.
We import the stills from the camera into a video software so we can watch a day of activity in just minutes.

I ran one cable back to network switch, POE (stands for power over ethernet) assigned an IP address then I could view the camera from any computer, great picture, no sound but they have models with sound, now all I need is 10 more.
A very simple solution if you need a surveillance camera.

The camera does what it states it will do. For a cheap dome PoE camera, you can't find anything better. Easy to setup and get going. Love the fact that it comes with an app for the Android and iPhone to monitor your cameras remotely. People cannot give this a bad review for manual PTZ...It states that before you bought it! If you don't need to control PTZ and just need a fixed camera, this is a great product.

I bought this and actually installed it outdoors but under a roof. Works great and the GPIO inputs also work great. I hooked it up to an ELK doorbell detector so it emails me 3 pictures of someone ringing my doorbell. I also have it continuously recording to a nas device and its held up for a year and a half with no issues. It has held up to 0 deg F to 100 deg F. The only issue I once had was that when it was disconnected for a few minutes and then plugged back in the camera itself didn't operate. I left it unplugged for a while and it started working. It uses about 4 watts of POE power.

I use it in the garace to take care the from of my house. Good disign, I use only this brand for routers and cameras, because they never have any problems.
I would like something like this, but wireless. They have wireless cameras, but domes cameras don't. I wait for it.
I sincronize this camera with my iphone and I can check my house everywhere.

But it would not work with my softwear. I have 3 Foscam cameras and this Trednet camera wouuld not play nice with the softwear I was using. Had to return it

The description of this product is very misleading. Look out for the word "manual" because that's the only indication on this product that you literally have to remove the screws from the housing and adjust the pan/tilt by hand. I don't understand how an IP camera doesn't have the option to control the camera via software. Stick with the Trendnetip422...that does everything as advertised including pan and tilt using software.

I havent had time to mess with it. But you want a review so the box looks real nice sitting in my closet.
