Product DescriptionThe Linksys Wireless-G Pan/Tilt/Zoom Video Camera sends live video through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world!The advanced MPEG-4 video compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 640x480 video stream. MPEG-4 encoding facilitates good video quality in varying bandwidth environments. WVC200 also supports MJPEG compression for video, providing good video quality at high bandwidth rates.The comprehensive video features include an IR filter cut which allow you to see the images in low or no light environments when an IR lamp is used. Snapshots (in JPEG format) of the image can be taken and saved. Snapshots can also be scheduled and sent to an FTP server.If you want the video to be visible from a remote location or from the Internet, you can open an appropriate port on the Router, and then create password protected accounts to manage access to the camera, or leave it wide open for the world to see. Support for Dynamic DNS lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember ''name'', even while using a dynamic IP address. The Pan/Tilt and digital zoom function allows you to remotely control the camera movement and focus, giving you maximum flexibility remotely. Up to 10 simultaneous users can have access to the camera at any point in time. Software is included for multiple camera monitoring and recording to your hard drive with advanced search by time and date. Recording can be set up to record by motion trigger, manual or schedule recording and playback on Windows Media Player without the need for a proprietary player.You can also turn on Security Mode, which tells the camera to send a message with a short video attached to up to three email addresses whenever it detects motion in its field of view. You can then log onto the live video stream if the situation warrants. Wireless security features include WEP and WPA.
What Others Say

The Camera set up easy within my own network..... However it took some help to actually find my video over the internet. It looks really great once you find it over the internet. And you can log into this camera over the internet to make changes remotely to it. There is no need to use any of the paid modes to view it over the internet. Its just a matter of figuring out what the URL is for your own camera web page. This is not as easy at it would seem. But once you find and put it in your favorites its a really cool camera. I am planning on putting it on line when I am away from home. I have experimented with putting a digital read out thermometer in the view of camera so now I can read what the current temperature is in my house. The resolution ... Read More
Setup difficult
I bought a couple of these cameras to set up a home system and setup is a pain. Although overall nice cameras very buggy.
I use a Linksys WRT600N router with TKIP and was able to set up one camera wireless with no problem. The other 2 to no avail.
In the end the problem boiled down to shorten the security key to 8 spaces which was no problem with the first camera... Strange.
If you like to tinker this is for you.

Does the job, but does not look good--Only one way audio
It is a good product and does what is requested to do.
The wizard is a bit complicated compare to other Cisco models. however, i missed the following:
1- IT does not look good
2- It is not quiet. moving the lense cause some noise
3- Audio is only one way from Camera to end user. End user can not communicate back
Worth the price and performs as I would expect
For the price this is worth it. It works reasonably well and has allowed us to log in from work to see our living room and watch our child and childs sitter. It was reasonably easy to install and use. The video quality is not high res or anything, but is usable. The audio quality is average and slightly delayed behind the video image. The best feature is perhaps the ability to PTZ (move back and forth, up and down and zoom) The zoom is ok-- not an optical zoom- more of a digital zoom (with corresponding loss of video quality). Overall I would recommend Linksys Wireless Internet Camera with Audio and would consider buying another if we want to monitor another room.
