Panasonic BL-C210A Network Camera purchased with Easy-G, this camera has one of the Amazon Gold Box coupons for $ 130 For the price, it's a great camera. This is my second Panasonic Network Camera. A few years ago I bought Panasonic BL-C1a Network Camera Model and PET Cam (BLC1A). BL-C210A is a much nicer camera. The picture is several times better, especially when movement is involved. You have the ability to pan and tilt, to look around. You can change the indicator on the camera you know the camera is turned off to allow. You can also disable or override privacy mode button on top of the camera. You can configure the camera so e-mail a picture when it detects movement in your home. Now how is this calm while you are away? And my favorite is that the camera via the network cable, eliminating the need for an outlet near the camera has power. The camera has a threaded hole for mounting on the back that can be used to mount the camera on a tripod a standard or optional wall mount design of the cube is good because it allows you to just put the camera on a shelf or table. The camera is light, then a tug on the cable network can bring it crashing down it is not safe. There are limitations with the camera. If you want to see an entire room, you will need to mount the camera in a corner. It can only pan 41 degrees left or right 10 degrees upward and 32 degrees down. The camera is connected via the cable network, but does not support the industry-standard PoE. Fortunately it comes with its own power injector. You need to buy two network cables to use this camera. A cable connects the camera to the power injector and the other connects the power injector to your router / switch. The cable between the camera and the power injector must be less than 98 feet. The box says you can only display static images from a cell phone. The website says you can't listen to audio with a cell phone I haven't tried either. The software works pretty good, although I have found a few minor bugs in it. You have the option of viewing multiple cameras on one screen, but the max resolution for multiple cameras is only 320x240 and not the 640x480 max camera resolution. You don't need a computer onsite to use the camera, but you'll need one to do the initial setup. Panasonic has nicer cameras than this model, but the prices also get outrageous. $185 (current Amazon price) is not bad for one camera. But after you buy one, you'll want more so you can monitor the rest of the house. That's when $185 per camera starts adding up. If the price drops again, I'll definitely buy another. Note: The zoom function is not obvious. There are buttons on the screen to do everything but zoom. I discovered you can right-click on the top half of the video to zoom in and right-click on the lower half to zoom out. You can also use the wheel on your mouse to zoom in and out Update (March 9, 2010): I did a little research on the camera model (BL-C111A) that the BL-C210A replaced. This camera has a larger CMOS sensor but the same resolution. The old model can pan 50 degrees to the left or right while this model can only pan 41 degrees. The old model can tilt down 40 degrees while this model can only tilt down 32 degrees. The old model had a 10x digital zoom while this model only has a 3x digital zoom. The digital zoom is not very good. If you have a need to zoom in on objects, you'll want a camera with an optical zoom. Some new features added are SSL data encryption for secure viewing over the Internet, power through the network cable, H.264 video compression, and the ability to operate the camera with some models of Panasonic flat screen TV's. I bought another camera from Amazon to monitor the back door and kitchen area. It comes with mounting holes on the back of the camera so you can slide it down on a couple of screw heads It frustrates me that you can't.
