Decent camera some settings limit a 5 star
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Like the camera it's durable and good quality but it has a weird quirk that drives me banana's. I log into the device via the IP and set the camera pan #'s so that it will go to 1 for the door, 2 for the couch and 3 for the love seat and I set it per what I can determine is the appropriate settings. I then go to pan to the #'s and 75-80% of the time 1 out of the 3 pans spin the camera in a weird spot I never set. It's frustrating as heck, but after a few too many sets it'll finally stick. Beyond that it's a great product and does what it says it should do.

Very Good Security Camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I initially purchased a different camera but was not able to get it to work properly. When I returned it I looked again and found this camera. It is a very easy process of setting it up, just follow the simple directions. Getting it to record only when motion is detected took a bit, but reading the manual actually helped and was useful. Being able to see what is happening in real time no matter where you are is very nice.

Pretty great camera
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this camera to watch my puppy while I'm at work - it's great! I love that there is two way communication so I can yell at him if he tries to eat the couch or something out of boredom. My only complaint is that compared to another dlink camera I have (that didn't have two way communication which is why I needed this one) it has a much more limited range of motion for going up and down. But horizontal pan is great.

Good but not great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The PTZ functionality is better with this version of the D-link than it was with its predecessor. However the video quality for viewing while away is very poor. Leaving it in night vision mode resulted in a better experience even during the day time. The motion detection was very finicky, sometimes it was too sensor other times it wasn't. It has difficulty catching the same person move after detecting them for the first time. It was responsive and it was OK, just not great.

Not a bad camera. A little pricey tho.

Unfortunatly it isn't as sratight forward as the company would have you believe. Do plenty of research before you buy this! Issues with different versions out there.

Product as described!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Pan and tilt option is a little awkward but it works. This is the best of this type of camera that we've tried, and two way audio works (many other brands that claim this feature dont actually work).

Not Bad, Not Amazing
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The quality of this camera is not too bad but not great, either. For the most part it works as advertised. It does "fall off" my network once a week or so. This requires me to unplug it and replug it in. This is fine if I'm actually at home. Otherwise it is a pain as I can't remotely check in. The color video quality is OK but can lack sharpness. The black and white IR night vision quality is pretty good actually. The basic setup is easy enough. Although much of the "real" settings are only accessible by logging directly to the camera via IP address. Real settings include length of event recording, time of day to allow event recording, use of the signal outs, etc. Not really much in the way of instructions for those features unless you search the web. Anyway, it works pretty well for the price point and doesn't require a cloud (= storage plan $$) to record or view like many of the other cameras out there. If you can deal with the occasional service drop outs it should work great for you.

Set up was somewhat confusing when searching
