Summary: Great Camera
Comment: Bought 2 of these to watch over my house while I am at work. Setup is pretty easy, but be prepared to wait a minute after changed settings, many changes when you initial setup the camera require it to restart. Camera's work great together and the free use of [...] to access the cameras is nice. Setting up timers and sensor emails/ftp is pretty straight forward but will require a user to test and retest to get the settings just right.
Pros: Price is good for a ip camera with tilt/pan. viewnetcam.com feature is a great addition to the camera package. Works great with similar model panasonic cameras.
Cons: Multiple restarts while setting up or making changes(minor issue), limited online support/how-to's.

Summary: Great Security Monitoring Tool and Software
Comment: Having just purchased a Security Camera/DVR all-in-one system, I am now more impressed with this Panasonic. I wanted a system that would record when my PC was turned off, so I bought one of the "all-in-one" systems. The software on that system is abysmal, which gave me newfound appreciation for the tools bundled with this Panasonic. First is the built-in web server, which allows you to view and control (pan and tilt) the camera over the Internet, if you have your network configured correctly. Plus, there is an included utility, "Network Camera Recorder" which lets you schedule and review video recorded to a Windows PC. You can slow down and speed up while you are looking for the miserable yahoos attempting to steal something from your property.
The camera can also upload JPEGs to an FTP server, which can provide a backup source of data.
Finally, the clarity of the image on this camera is far superior to the cameras that came with my security system, although they are both advertised to be 640x480.
The only real drawback is that this camera cannot be installed outdoors.

Summary: Panasonic webcam is easy to use and cheap
Comment: You get a lot for the money. Easy setup, automatically negotiated with lynksys router, external website activation and monitoring worked first time. Still trying to figure out how to get it to send me an email of the picture when an event triggers. I may buy the wireless version next since this one was so easy to install. I routinely check my front walkway from the office. Great for checking on packages being delivered.

Summary: Excellent Basic Internet Camera
Comment: I have installed this camera in a control room to oversee the activities. The installation was a breeze and it works as well as expected. The setup and operation is completely intuitive.
This camera does not have a zoom, nor does it have a wireless connection. This is a *good thing* because it makes it completely simple. I like the lack of a zoom because you cannot zoom in on precisely what people are doing.
The internal web server is quite good. It has lots of easy-to-understand configurations and options.
The low-light performance is only "okay", It made beautiful images in my well-lit family room at home, but the heavily back-lit images in the control room are less than stellar.
Overall, if you don't need a zoom or wireless, this is an excellent choice for a stand-alone internet camera.

Summary: cabin watcher
Comment: After reading all the connection problems with wireless IP cameras , I decided to purchase the wired ver. (BL-C10A panasonic). I was very pleased with the easy setup and dns service included for the camera . I currently use this camera in a cabin , so I can look in and see the temp. inside and look around. This is simpe remote monitoring , as hookup took less than 1.hr to get up and running. I do not use the emailing feature presently .
Pros : simple to setup and get running over internet
price is reasonable
images are the best for a camera this cheap
using viewnet (dns service) very easy
Cons : wired to the router
no included light leds (but at this price)
must use timer to reset ip camera (cheap house timer every 24hrs)
