    The Panasonic Network Camera is easy to install, easy to operate and requires no additional software for viewing on your PC. A setup software CD-ROM is included, but this UPnP-compatible camera has an internal web server, so you don't need to keep a PC on the premises to view its images remotely. Just connect it to your local network (Ethernet cable sold separately), and you'll be able to access it from any Internet-connected PC by accessing the free web address you assign it through viewnetcam.com and entering your user name and password.

    This home security camera may be budget-friendly, but it has a host of features comparable to surveillance cameras double and triple its price. Enlarge images remotely for easier confirmation using the camera's 10X digital zoom. With its built-in motion detector, the Panasonic Network Camera can capture a still image and hold it temporarily in its internal memory, and it can even send you a copy via e-mail or FTP transfer.

    View images whether it's daytime or night. The Panasonic Network Camera offers a color night view mode with 4-Lux low-light capability. For viewing in total darkness, add an IR illuminator (sold separately). This camera is also available in a wireless version.

    Getting the camera to be viewed via internet was a chore as I had trouble following the instructions for internet access. Camera worked good.

    RUSS -- hood river, OR   12/7/2007
    Had to leave home. Two cameras still not able to be viewed on the internet. Not working for the purpose we want to use them for. 3 technicians have tried to get them up and running as per directions.

    CHRIS -- wautoma, WI   12/12/2006
    This is an easy to use product. We use it as a roaming camera for security. I can place it anywhere I have power and cat5 access. Playback controls are user friendly. I don't use the web access, so I can't comment on those features.
    DAVID -- north highlands, CA   11/30/2006
    My second one. I love them.
    JUAN -- merced, CA   11/22/2006
    It is a super deal: A standalone network camera with amazing pixel quality for a very attractive price. Other similar systems sale for several hundred dollars, and do not even come close to the Panasonic Network Camera. It is the ideal addition for your home security system. Great buy!
