Most Helpful Customer Reviews 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for my needs, November 5, 2008 By  Okie Flyers (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews I am happy with this system. It performs as described and is perfect if you don't want to hack up your house running network cable. I have a full up 6 camera system, and it's has performed in excess of my expectations. Based on all of the negative reviews floating around about this setup, you'd think this system was a joke....from software, connection issues, performance issues, it doesn't do this, it doesn't do that. Whatever. I find that most negative reviews come from technically challenged individuals, or those that have unrealistic expectations. We haven't experienced the issues others have reported. We have the most current software (v2.5) and camera firmware, and have had no issues whatsoever. For the price, we're getting what we paid for. The specs on this system are clear. If it doesn't meet your needs, then don't buy. We find that it surpasses our expectations. It's great to have a record of all of the activity that goes on around our home while we are absent. Now that we have this system, we find that we cannot live without it. It's like going from dialup to high speed internet....you can never go back. We'll never be without a surveillance system again. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 stars Don't last long., May 26, 2009 By  Scott A. Serafin (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I use the wilife system in my business. I have indoor cameras inside and outdoor cameras in my drive-thru (which is still technically inside). The outdoor cameras only last me about 6 months. The indoor cameras have lasted 2 years and are still going strong. I recently purchased 2 additional indoor cameras to replace the 2 outdoor cameras that continue to fail. The system is great and the quality of the images are outstanding. I do however recommend avoiding the outdoor cameras. 14 of 16 people found the following review helpful: 1.0 out of 5 stars Great when it works, January 19, 2009 By  Russell W. Gallagher (Claymont, DE) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    I have a mixed review about this product. It is easy to install and works great. The problem I had was when the camera stopped working just after my one year warranty expired. I spoke to their customer service and they had me run a diagnostic report. This was sent to their diagnostic department and I received the following email "Thank you for reporting a problem to the WiLife Diagnostics Group! Your email is being reviewed and a company representative will contact you." I was never contacted by a company rep. I did however buy another camera. I just hope it last longer than a year, and I hope their customer service improves.
