Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera

Product Description:

The Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera sends live video with sound through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world! This compact, self-contained unit lets you keep track of your home, your kids, your workplace - whatever's important to you. Unlike standard "web cams" that require an attached PC, the Internet Video Camera contains its own web server, so it can connect directly to a network, either over Wireless-G (802.11g) networking, or over 10/100 Ethernet cable. The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-frame rate, up to 640x480 audio/video stream.The Internet Video Camera's unique form-factor and wireless connectivity allows you to mount it on a wall nearly anywhere, or slip it into its included stand for desktop use. Once it's connected to your home network, you can "see what it sees" from any PC in the house, while the audio/video stream is secured from the outside world, hidden behind your Router. If you want the video to be visible from outside your home network, you can open an appropriate port on the Router, and then create password protected accounts to manage access to the camera, or leave it wide open for the world to see. The SoloLink domain service (trial sign-up included) lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember "name", even if your home Internet connection uses a dynamic IP address.You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. The included Viewer & Recorder utility lets you record the audio/video stream to your local hard drive, "live" or on a predetermined schedule.Let the Linksys Wireless-G Internet Video Camera help you keep tabs on your world.

EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING2008-08-09
I purchased this thinking I could hook it up in less than an hour like most devices I have (and I have many) but nothing has gone right. I am now at MONTH TWO futzing with it - yes I tried support, yes I tried community forums, and still won't allow me to use the worthless subscription to Sololink.

RUN RUN FAST away from buying this product.
Excellent2008-05-04
I own two of these and they are easy to set up if you have some network knowledge and they work great; both video and audio. These deliver re much higher quality image than the Linksys Compact Internet Camera.
Great product!2007-05-25
I have a 5-months-old baby and I needed a webcam to keep an eye on him and his nanny while I was out working at the office.
This camera has good quality of video but to my surprise it also has great quality of sound, which was my priority since I wanted to hear the baby crying and what the nanny was doing or telling him.
I really recommend it, it was also easy to install!
Works very well, but can be difficult to set up2007-05-12
I have purchased and used several of these Internet cams both at home and at work. They work very well once set up, but they may require highly technical skills and knowledge to set up depending on your network environment. I like them because they have a window that shows the IP address they have picked up. This is a problem I encountered with the newer version. Without an IP address window on the device, I would have to search the network and hope the software is able to pick up the device. The software works well in very small networks, but on enterprise networks it can get confused and sometimes can not find the camera.
Good wireless camera under $1002007-04-27
Bought one recently. For less than $100, don't expect too much. Easy to set up. Video quality is not good. I guess it is the same as those over $200 because of the small lens. Customer support is easy to reach online, but not very helpful if you get a not-easy problem. Wired camera at that price has much much better video.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
Driving with a cell phone is a lot less dangerous than driving on prescription drugs
There's a lot of debate today about the safety of using cell phones while driving. Statistics show that those who use cell phones while driving cause a much greater percentage of accidents than those who avoid using their cell phones. And the studies have shown that it's not just the physical coordination required to punch numbers into the cell phone while you're trying to work the vehicle that causes accidents; it's actually the lack of attention resulting from driving and talking on the cell phone at the same time. It seems that when you're distracted, you're more likely to cause accidents. In terms of public safety, it's probably correct to say that banning cell phones would reduce the number of traffic accidents. But I think, more accurately, it depends on the person. Some people are operating on, shall we say, lower power CPUs in their heads to begin with. They might be zoned out on prescription drugs, and when you add a cell phone to the equation, they do become a danger to the ...
