All the necessary software is included and easy to setup so you can start recording in no time. You can even set different recording schedules so that the camera only records when motion is detected. Then you can review the video at any time on the computer you used to record. Setting the motion detection is easy since there are different levels of sensitivity to choose from.
Stay Notified with Email Alerts
This is an exciting new feature that lets you receive email alerts when certain events occur at home. The camera can be setup to automatically send you an email when movement is detected in your baby's crib or room, or when the camera loses power—it's your choice. You will always be aware of what is happening with your child and ensure that whoever is watching over them is doing it properly.
Monitor Day and Night
Built-in night vision allows you to see your baby at all times, even in complete darkness! Infrared LEDs on the baby camera provide a clear image that shows up on-screen but they do not disturb your child since they are undetectable to the human eye. Ensure your child is sleeping soundly without having to go into the nursery and risk waking them up. See clearly up to 10ft away.

Product works decently for a generie wireless monitoring. Just not as a baby monitoring device due to low sound volume. Being able to hear a soft cry of your baby cry (or possibly baby choking on milk spit up) on the monitor is mandatory and this did not fulfil it.
THis product IMHO should not be marketed as a baby monitor. It Would work well as a security camera/nanny cam however...
Details:
I will say that this product works well enough as a generic monitoring device. Just few quick positive comments first: 1) Basic connectivty(between PC and camera) was a snap. 2) software install was easy. 3) it took about 3 min to have the camera image viewable on my PC.
Image is pretty much what you expect ( I think). A decent VGA res. image. Very similar to what you would see on your typical low res. camera equipped on laptops. It's a bit grainy, you can see the expressions fine, but you wouldn't want to frame it. Night vision worked well enough as well. Except on mine, it kept turning itself off every 10 min. Not sure why it did that....
The real problem for me was the sound. THe sound on this device is much too low for me to use as a baby monitor. Most baby monitors will amplify the sound excessively. Most of them I've seen will allow you to hear a baby breathing in a quite room. This is not the case with this device. I understand that this is function of MY PC's speakers as well. But on the 2 laptops I had, I could not hear the baby cry (decently loud, not fullon screeming cry) unless if I was standing in front of the PC in a quite room, which defeats the whole purpose of the baby monitor. I'm sure that most parents will agree that being able to hear a soft cry of your baby(or possibly baby choking on milk spit up) on the monitor is mandatory and this did not fulfil it.
The software does try to offer some work around for the above problem. The software supports motion & sound detection with sound alarms. This allows you to set a threashold for each and it produces a alarm of your choosing, when it is exceeded. However, there is a critical error in this software. The setting you chose in this respect is erase every time you turn off the PC. Maybe this could have worked, maybe not, but I don't have time to re-configure this every time I want to use this monitor.
I can't speak to the Internet hosting capabilities of this product. I never tried. I've read other reviews and it indicated a high technical hurdle. Being an IT guy, I know that you have to muck around with forwarding on the home router and such to get it working. This is not so easy for normal non-IT folks. So, I think it's likely not the product that is hard to setup, it's just likely the way it is...Some times, things are complex and you really can't make it simple...
I haven't had any problem accessing with my blackberry, or laptop. I have family that access it all the time from around the country & they haven't had any problems either.
I use the record events feature. I had to play with the motion detection sensitivity a little bit so that it didn't record every time a piece of dust flew by the camera.
The only thing I would improve is there isn't sound on the web stream. I think that would improve the product, but it isn't that big of an issue.
I have recommended this product to people who don't live close to family, but want to give them access to their little one 24/7. If you just want to monitor your baby it works for that too. You don't have to stream it over the web. Not sure if there is a cheaper one out there just for that, but I wanted to stream it on the web & this seemed to be the easiest way to do it for me.
We called tech support that night and they informed us that the company knew there was a software issue, that they had resolved it and were waiting for the next shipment of corrected software to come in by early August and we would get a replacement then. We decided we could wait for the replacement since we liked all the other features of the camera. We called the end of July and were told they should now be in the end of August and to call back. We wanted a refund since the product was still not ready. They told us it was now too late for a refund even though there is a known product defect and we needed to call back. Now we cannot get in touch with anyone with information about this product or a time line. We have left several messages for weeks. There phone number sends you to an answering machine after 10 minutes on hold.
We cannot return this through Amazon for a full refund any more. This is unacceptable.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! It is defective, they know it, and are still selling them!
update: perhaps i should revise my statement above. i have sent it back to amazon because the customer representative said that mine was defective--the night-vision light keeps shutting off by itself, and who knows what else. i am considering getting a different model anyways, because the set-up for port forwarding (which allows you to monitor the baby wirelessly from other computers as long as you have an internet connection, one of the features for which we got the thing) was extremely complicated. so to be fair, perhaps someone else can give a more accurate description of a monitor that actually works. at the same time, i've noticed that a reviewer of the same model for twins had the exact same problem that i did--the exact same!

Since product is discontinued there is no way to set up mobile viewing and only can view on computer, which sucks if you only have a desktop..
