Summary: problem solver
Review: I bought the fonecam to monitor my small business from my home. It does everything as advertised and I like not having to get another computer to get images from my office to home. Set up was straight forward but you do have to read over the instructions carefully to make sure the camera is set up right. Image quality is not great but satisfactory for my needs. Recommended.

Summary: Really bad product
Review: I got this product to watch a boat house. Beyond the fact the we had to replace it, it's resolution is poor and the software app is not flexible. I am ready to return it for refund. Was clearly a mistake. I will advise not getting this.

Summary: Works great for me
Review: I have a FoneCam camera and really like it. I set up the scheduler to grab pictures at our Tahoe cabin. I scan through them occasionally and it lets me know when I have to get the maintenance man to check something out. It was not practical to use a PC-web-camera setup because I did not want to buy a special PC and leave it at Tahoe. Also, I do not know of any software that was designed to do what FoneCam's does, which is just fetch and catalog pictures. (I had trouble with it at first, and then I had the phone company run a check on my phone line. They found it was really bad. It seems that squirrels had gotten into the box on the phone pole and nibbled on the line. The company fixed it for free.)

Summary: Useful and easy security in an inexpensive package
Review: I use the FoneCam to monitor my home and neighborhood when I am travelling for work. During the school year I program the software to capture images of my kids coming home from school safely. When I get back in the office I can check out the log to see them walk up the street and make it home. The system squeezes the most out of a dial up phone line. You won't get video over dial-up, all those products touting video conferencing over the Internet or dial up lines are unsatisfying and oversold. You really need big pipes to make it useful. This really is a product exploiting a great need. Cheap, easy, remote monitoring and security through image capture and management.

Summary: Not very good
Review: We got one copy of the FoneCam to watch the backyard of the summer house. It is extremely slow. When we dial in to get the picture, it appears to transmit the image forever. The quality of the picture is not very good either. For the price that it cost, we could have bought a small PC and couple of cameras.

Summary: Simple solution for remote viewing
Review: We now have two of them. One in the daughter's daycare and one at the lake watching a boat. The neat thing about fone cam is it is simple to setup and take picture with. We set it up at our daughter's daycare. We wanted it to check up on her from time to time. What has happend is that when there is a problem, our daycare calls us and asks us what to do. We just dial-in take a look around, and then let them know what to do next. With our boat, we just wanted a set of eyes to watch it during the week when we are away. What a relief to be able to check up on the boat when we are away! Pros - Good setup program, easy to understand, like the ability to chain fonecams together one one phone number. Cons - Would like an option for streaming video

Summary: OverRated Gadget
Review: We own a FoneCam. We were very enthustiastic when we got it, we were going to use to watch our house when we were gone. -- the Camera doesnt give you a clear picture and the built in modem is not realiable at all.... It's an over rated gadget

Summary: Perfect for site monitoring
Review: We use Fonecam for monitoring our inventory room to control personnel access. A very effective means of making sure only employees have access. While not the highest resolution, it serves a need with an effective reasonably priced solution which is easily moved as needed to other locations.
