Design: 8.0 / 10
I'm not too of this recent large flat rectangle craze for package design, but really, its just personal preference.
Image Quality: 9.0 / 10
For this price range, I think this camera produces excellent picture quality. I can recognize peoples faces in the image, and video quality is similiar to most other IP cameras.
Easy of Use: 9.0 / 10
Took me a little while to set it up. The camera doesn't seem to let me give it a fixed IP at this point. But other than that one issue, if I actually read pdf manual in detail, I'm sure it would've been a breeze. Otherwise, I have to say, the firmware web interface is excellent! I had a dlink and linksys that I returned because I love this companies camera interface.
Connectivity: 9.9 / 10
Its intuitive. The double coloured LED signalling system for connection was clever. It connects easily, it took me under 30 seconds to get online with my network.
Other Features: 9.9 / 10
The main, and most DISTINCT feature of this camera that rates it way above its competitors in this class are that it provides STANDALONE FTP UPLOAD. In fact, it provides TWO ftp upload options. I love this feature, and its the only camera in this price range that I could find with this feature.
Strengths
FTP UPLOAD!
Quick setup
Camera resolution considering the price point
Weaknesses
shape of camera (big deal). Honestly, the price, this camera is excellent.
Summary
Overall, I'd say this camera performs well. Its priced slightly higher than others in its class, but with the added FTP upload feature in the firmware, and the intuitive web interface, and easy setup, this camera is excellent, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to secure their home.
