Design: 8.0 / 10
Nice, space-age look. Did not give higher rating due to flimsy stand.
Image Quality: 7.5 / 10
Image quality is decent. Colour representation is off due to the IR cut filter. Green appears purple. Night vision images are surprisingly good.
Easy of Use: 9.0 / 10
Had no issues with set up or software functionality. Reading the documentation helps.
Connectivity: 9.0 / 10
No issues with wired or wireless operation. Would be nice if the camera supported WPA2.
Other Features: 9.0 / 10
Would give rating of 10 if the camera included a built-in IR illuminator and optical zoom.
Strengths
Price, wireless connectivity, PTZ, recording software, capturing images in total darkness (requires 850nm IR light source).
Weaknesses
Flimsy stand, noisy motor when panning, requires external IR light for nightvision, no optical zoom.
Summary
Overall, I'm quite happy with this camera. I needed PTZ, wireless, motion detection and night vision capabilities and this camera fit the bill. The included recording software made the package complete. When you consider the price your pay for the included features, this is a great package. The only real negative is that the camera does not include a built-in infrared illuminator - that is, you don't really get low-light functionality without purchasing an additonal accessory.
