Linksys Wireless-G WVC54G Network Camera

Pros: Easy Setup (with a little networking know how), Reasonably priced
Cons: WiFi support is sketchy, Reliance on ActiveX controls

Home Monitoring used to be a costly venture not readily accessible by most consisting of bulky, ugly cameras and sophisticated closed applications. Linksys has now brought this convenience to the masses. Linksys, now owned by Cisco, is an industry ...

Pros: - low cost - WPA2 support for wireless security - fairly easy setup
Cons: lack of signal strength meter, so-so picture quality, no night vision

This review is being written for epinions.com on 7/22/2008 for the Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera. Overall, this product meets my expectations for a low cost (< $100) Internet security camera. This is only suitable for ...

Pros: Great image, has sound, can view over the internet
Cons: Extremely difficult to set up, poor instructions

I bought this just to check on my pets while I am away from. It was more of a "fun" purchase than a necessity to guard something expensive. So, that being said, I didn't want to spend a lot of time getting it up and running. It was supposed to be easy ...

Pros: Works as advertised - JUST BOUGHT MY 2nd ONE.
Cons: People that don't know how to set it up give it a bad rap.
