Disappointing purchase. Wireless was a problem from the beginning and it was very difficult to get a consistent noise-free reception, even just a few yards away. Turning off nearby TV's, computers, wireless phones, and audio equipment seemed to help, but we could not keep those devices off during everyday use. Wireless that works in a frequency range beyond that of these devices would be best. I also had issues installing the included software on my PC with Windows XP Service Pack 3. It took extra work & troubleshooting to get the computer to recognize the camera as a USB device and to properly load its drivers. The Wisecomm (manufacturer) website apparently no longer sells this camera-- it isn't even in their closeout list of products. There was no update available for the software, and they did not provide any support of technical support on their site. The included software itself had some nice features, and the manual was included on the software installation disc. The installation was a bit different than described in the manual though. The record scheduling features were quite extensive, but I did run into trouble again when trying to export the recorded timelapse movie out to an AVI thru the software. The resulting AVI movie file could not be opened in any player other than the Wisecomm software to view again (including Quicktime). Also, I found that recording timelapse-- even at the longest interval-- took a very long time to review in the Wisecomm software. Maximum playback speed was not fast enough. So next time, recording with motion detection turned on is probably the better option in that case. The camera itself is fairly heavy and does get quite hot. I did find that the quality of the image degraded over just a few uses. The quality of the color image during daylight and nighttime lit conditions turned into just a clouded , desaturated, almost greyscale image. The InfraRed nightvision capability worked surprisingly well under nearly zero light conditions, (at first) and the IR LED's lit up the room to a distance of about 10 feet. For detecting large object movement it was fine-- details were pretty much lost though. And again, it was difficult to get a clean, steady reception via wireless. Had this camera been strictly a wired device, it probably would have been more useable. The wireless base-station is quite small and light-weight plastic, though combined with the small stand it sits in it is actually quite flimsy. The connection between the external antenna and the base-station is also worrisome-- it just rotates freely making me think that perhaps the antenna connection is bad-- maybe the reason for the unreliable wireless reception. Unfortunately, I missed returning this item in 30 days-- and I certainly would have. Now since I'm stuck with it, I might send it back to the manufacturer (Wisecomm) and have them look at that antenna connection issue. Maybe that will fix it enough
