Summary: Works great once you have it set up.
Review: Now that I have it up and running, I love it. I have grown to know the D-link tech support crew fairly well over the past week. Most of them are really good, but if one of them can't figure out your problem, don't send the camera back like they may suggest. Call back later and try it with someone else. Overall the camera works exactly as described, but there are a few caveats.
1) If you plan on logging on to the camera from work (i.e. to peek in on your new baby), be aware that the camera requires more than just port 80. It also requires three other open ports and many corporate networks are locked down tight with regards to open ports. Grandma and Grandpa will be able to log on just fine from their home computer though.
2) The camera gets fussy when I try to use it in wireless mode and view it with a wireless laptop on the network (the ultimate baby monitor). It works great in wireless mode when viewed from a wired computer.
3) Only the administrator can control the movement of the camera. Guest or other camera viewers have to view the current position of the camera. I think this is a bug and will likely be fixed with firmware.Overall it is a very good product and seems to be of high quality. The manual isn't too bad considering all of the different network configurations a user may have. I am happy with my purchase.

Summary: Good Camera, but need to know how to config.
Review: Pros: It is good camera, Sharp picture, remote control, digital zoom is average (need to download latest software 1.02)
Cons: Tech support of first two tiers won't be able to help you at all (they just read from the manual), unless you get someone at higher level, sometime your call get answer by foreign tech., it doesn't help either.
Bottom line: If you know well about networking, it should be no problem to config this cam to your existing net work and enjoy the cam, Need to know how to config between your DSL modem (IP forwarding) and Dlink wireless router (or other wireless router), and open the port. In order to access this cam remotely, must have static ip address. I actually gave up to call tech help and learn to config this cam by myself.

Summary: Finally a stand alone product APPROACHING an end user price
Review: This is the next generation of "webcams" - one that can be viewed AND controlled without leaving your computer on all of the time - and it includes an easy set up, audio, and wireless network connectivity. The setup was relatively easy - the only obstacle came in assigning passwords that apparently weren't acceptable to the camera's built in webserver - and the cam does deliver a decent picture and almost decent audio. It's great for setting up with a wireless network to allow for internet, password protected, monitoring and camera control. The motors are quiet, the features and software customizable, and the camera so far has been reliable.

Summary: Not ready yet
Review: This product may be the worse piece of technology I have ever gotten. It would routinely crash my networks (Tried it on 2 different ones). If used in wired mode, it can go from 1-3 days before bring down the network, if wireless 3-4 hours-I had to upgrade the firmware to make it this long on the wireless). Unit runs hot, and I doubt it will have a decent life expectancy anyways. Changing settings routinely lock up the system if doing so over the wireless connection. 802.11B is also lacking, but a telling indicator of Dlink's vision.
