Summary: Top of the line network camera
Comment: This camera has exceeded my expectations. The wireless setup was easy and the image and the sound quality is absolutely excellent even when it's used wirelessly. The only minor complaint is when you initally set the camera up, it needs to be connected to a router. However Panasonic does not include the LAN cable in the package.

Summary: Excellent product, best in its class
Comment: I read the reviews and researched internet cams of this type extensively before purchase. Linksys, D-Link, all had numerous bad reviews with common complaints being image quality, setup, and reliability. This Panasonic cam is excellent. Setup was straightforward when you follow the instructions. Make sure that SSIDs match up after you've done everything else for setting up your FREE domain from Panasonic. The cam has a built-in SSID that is not going to match your network so change it. It took me a while to figure out why everything worked while hard wired to my network, but not wirelessly. So far, the cam has performed flawlessly with motion detection (including advanced detection features) and access from anywhere I can get internet access.

Summary: Works Great - Great Resolution
Comment: I bought this camera based on all of the other good reviews, and it works great. I had a little difficulty getting the wireless figured out, but after reading through the documentation and fiddling with my router I was able to get it working. The key was making sure my Netgear Router had a port opened up to the outside world.
Overall this is a solid product and has been good for me watching our new little puppy while we are away. It even works on the mobile phone!

Summary: Expensive but Great Technical Support
Comment: I purchased two of these cameras so my wife and I can view our baby's room from work. There are better optics from other web-cams out there but what makes this product stand out from the rest is that (a) it works and (b) it works because the Panasonic provides human beings to walk you through the set-up process. It's complicated (at least to me) because you have to make sure your router is set-up (port(s) open/forwarded) and that's not something non-techies understand. However, by the end of my third call to Panasonic over the course of two days (Weekend days by the way), the patient and helpful folks at Panasonic go both my cameras working. After a few awful technical support experiences at companies like Dell- it was a real surprise to get such support. I purchased a similar product (wired web-cam this time) from D-Link two years ago and wound up selling it on Ebay for 1/3 of what I paid for it after I couldn't that that webcam to work and the technical support at D-Link told me the issue was my router which was out of their jurisdiction. I'm going to look more seriously at other Panasonic products now that I have had such a good experience with their techincal support staff.

Summary: Great product
Comment: I'm still getting to know this product but of what I've experienced so far it's been great. I was surprised how easy it was to set up and easily moved around.
