 Good Camera November 30, 2008
Easy to setup I have setup a few wireless devices and by fare this was the easiest to setup
 What more can you ask for? November 26, 2008
This product is hands down great... I love it- I bought it to keep an eye at home, on the new born baby and on 2 cats, I love being able to go to my private website that panasonic offers, using [...] and see everything at home as if I'm there. The ability to move the camera and really look around makes me feel comfortable and with the record function, I know I don't have to watch every moment and I can review what went on at home later that night.
Great camera! In fact, I went back and bought a 2nd one so I can keep an eye on 2 rooms now.
Great product, is looking to purchase another one. November 24, 2008
I read tons of review before I purchased this camera. I even looked at the linksys and D-link. At last, thank you for all the wonderful review on Amazon, I decided on the Panasonic. I've had it for 8 weeks, and it's been working great. No problem, and technical support help me through the whole setup. I bought this mainly to watch my son and nanny while at work. I can pan, tilt, and take pictures. It's a wonderful product. The only negative I would have is the resolution when you zoom in. It's not as clear, yet, for my purpose, it does the job. I'm happy with the camera so far.
Outstanding Product, Poor Documentation, Uneven Support November 19, 2008
This is a remarkable device and well worth the money. It has a wide range of scan and tilt, good picture quality, especially within 100 feet of its objects, and outstanding sound pick-up. The documentation, as commented elsewhere, doesn't adequately cover port forwarding (necesssary if you want to view your picture from over the internet), so you will undoubtedly end up in long sessions with their telephone tech support people (who are not uniformly knowledgeable, so you'll probably end up calling back a few times till you get one who really understands the subject). In the end, however, it's worth the effort. The result is superb.
BL-C131A November 16, 2008
The camera meets the expectations drawn from the published literature. The documentation, however, is less than satisfactory. I am particularly displeased with the detail relating to the use over the internet. My camera ceased operation over the internet a week after I left home. Nothing in the literature explains the fault or offers a method of correction. Kudos for Amazon's posting of the Panasonic installation video.
