4XEM Corporation Reviews

IPCAMWL30	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.

IPCAMWL40	The seller for me was the free recording software. I found it easy to use and it connected seemlessly with my network. It has been working great and I can view it from work over the WWW. Customer support is very friendly and responed within a timely manner. I requested to have a FAQ added to their website and it was added within a couple days. Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWPTZ	This camera was a great purchase. The Pan/Tilt features are great but the added feature of optical zoom really makes the differnce. I have had other cameras that featured digital zoom but with the optical zoom I can now see the difference. Great camera! I hope they can make a wireless version available soon.

IPCAMWPTZ	A great camera! Connected to my network fast and is very easy to setup. I Like the controls and how you can control it from whatever PC you are at. Highly recommended! Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWPTZ	I was impressed with the initial set up of the cameras it was very easy. But later when i ran into trouble it was hard to get help. the camera instrutions were not very clear on a multi camera installation, that would be viewed from the web. And having to walk all of my customers through changing there internet options to download an ActiveX pluggin should be corrected with a downloadable script. I am not saticefied with these cameras or the support offered by the company. Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWPTZ	I have been running one of these cams for over 6 months and just added a second unit on the opposite side of the house where it's used to monitor an elderly shut-in. It has proven invaluable in monitoring and communicating with the patient. In the evening when lights are shut off, we have a few 4 watt photo cell night lights that give a great and clear image in the "low-Lux" mode. The TPZ feature allows us almost full coverage from one end of the house to the other...so far great reliability and Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWPTZ	Great general all around surveillence camera for indoor variable light conditions. Recommend NOT enclosing this camera, without ventilation, due to high heat output. Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWPTZ	I have been using these cameras for 2+ years now. Early days, it was pretty stable. But lately, it seems to be very unstable. I can't remotely connect to camera, ie, it is often off-line. We have to reboot the camera, to make it online. Click here to read the full review

W-2100	I wanted to buy an Axis Communications 2100 Network Camera but found out they are disco'd. After searching PC Connection I found the 4XEM W-2100. I guess this is a new camera they just released but it is comparable to the 2100 by Axis with a few added features. So far it is working great. I got it up and running fairly easy and got it working online so I can view it from wherever I am. I even figured out how to view snapshots on my cell phone, which I thought that was cool. Compared to the Click here to read the full review

IPCAMW50	Overall a good camera for most purposes. Easy to set up and use. Settings can be personalized with a little tweaking. Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWLPTZ	This is an excellent camera that is great for security and for fun. You can do all sorts of things with this camera. This camera and the Dlink 6620G are virtually identical. The accompanying software is identical. The big pluses of this camera are that it's cheaper and the tech support is great. The major negative is the issue with having to lower your security settings. 4XEM claims to have this remedied soon however. Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWLPTZ	This is a great camera I use at home, and I'll be installing 8 more at my business. I've talked to my employees, and they said they'll feel more secure with their cars in the parking lot late at night, and I feel like I have control of my own security system.

IPCAMWLPTZ	We installed the camera in a race car at the local stock car track. It performed quite well. We set up our WiFi AP in the middle of the track and used 802.11b for range, but we still had some dropout points. Considering the vibrations and motion of the car we were able to get some excellent video. We were even able to move the cammera in the car, but the odd time the pan gear would jam. This was easily fixed by removing the power from it once the car was stopped. We now have the camera installed Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWLPTG	I purchased one of these cameras so I could look in on my house while I am away on business trips. The camera worked fine right out of the box. The images could be a little clearer but it is adequate for what it is intended. Set up was a breeze; first you connect the camera via an Ethernet cable to enter your settings, then wireless to configure your router. I was up and running in 15 minutes, I have mine set to take a snapshot when motion is detected and email them back to my account. I liked i Click here to read the full review

IPCAMWPT	This is a wonderful 30FPS full motion MPEG4 ethernet (aka TCP/IP) camera with integrated webserver plus security features, bundled with the camera is software to allow recording on a single PC of up to 16 concurrent IP cameras. The streams are stored on hard drive, and can be viewed by a supplied viewer while recording continues, they may also recycle based either on file size or length of time. Thus you may record literally weeks or months of video on a server dedicated for this purpose. This r Click here to read the full review

207MW	I wouldn't buy this again and I'm going to try and get a refund on it. The motion detection / advertised low-light / wireless function were the primary reasons for buying it and it's outperformed by an eight year old webcam hooked up to webcamXP. If I wanted best-in-class live image viewing through a browser I might consider it (except for the browser hangs), but the security aspect is not reliable enough and neither is the basic connectivity. Click here to read the full review

207MW	So, I have been evaluating this camera for a week now and related Axis software. The only issue I have run into so far is this recovery problem over a wireless network. Unfortunately its a killer for the product. If you are planning to remotely manage these cameras, they must be reliable and never hang. In my case, no one is at the property to cycle power on a hung camera... so monitoring is dead until the next visit to the property. This is unacceptable in my opinion. Its very unfortunate, sinc Click here to read the full review

207W	I researched for atleast 2 weeks looking for an IP Networked Camera for surveillance that was under $300. I couldn't be happier with my choice of the Axis 207W Camera. It was an absolute snap to get it up and running right out of the box. Granted I've significant computer networking experience but the directions are clear and easy to follow for anyone, in my opinion. Again, for the price this is by far an outstanding IP Network Camera and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a simple Click here to read the full review

207W	We use this camera with our Interwatch Security system and this little camera is fantastic. Ok, the images at night aren;t too hot but when our security light kicks in the camera is fine.

2100	I bought the Axis 2100 webcam and it?s great! It has superb image quality and it was not complicated to use. I did have a couple problems initially setting it up but it was mostly user error. Either than that, the setup was quick and simple. I even got it working over the net. One great thing about the camera is the FTP feature. I have it set to FTP to a web server with the date and time in the filename so I can tell when people walked by the camera. It is working great for watching over my h Click here to read the full review

210A	So far, no problem for me. I hope it will last a while, and it is more stable than 4xEM cameras. I heard Axis cameras are based on Linux, so that helps make Axis cameras more stable. Will see, as this is the first time I start using Axis video products. I wish there is recording & playback software that comes with this camera. Axis are the most expensive cameras. The flip side is of course, they are well known for quality. Click here to read the full review

212	The new technology of this camera shows the cameras in the future. With image sensors increasing in amount of pixels and lenses becoming better we may one day be able to say goodbye to mechanical PTZ cameras. Click here to read the full review

2120	The Axis 2120 is a great mid-level camera that's been out for long enough that it can be had at 1/3rd of its original MSRP or less and places such as eBay. For the enterprising security buff, an individual needing to supplement their existing security solution, or even the casual gadget hacker, the Axis 2120 is a great and affordable place to start. Comparing the older 2100 makes it even more apparent that the 2120 was the star of its generation at Axis, and I heartily recommend it. Click here to read the full review

221	I use Axis cameras frequently and it is really hard to beat the quality of this camera. There is a big difference between interlaced and progressive. You can see the difference with any of the Axis camera line. All the camera settings are stored at the camera which is real nice. I have worked in the CCTV industry for 9 years now and by far I would recommend Axis to anyone who will listen to me. It is so easy to set up and use plus the POE feature eliminates a power wire for the camera if you Click here to read the full review

240Q	I actually have the Axis 241Q, which is probably the same as Axis 240Q. I use it to convert CCTV signal from my Q-See CCTV cameras (QSB520SR and QSB550SR, both 0lux cameras) to digital, so I can remotely view over the internet. So far, it works great and I am happy with it. I am testing right now (just let it runs for days, day and night) to see how stable it is. I would be surprised if it is not stable, as it is based on Linux. Stability is one of my concerns. BTW, Q-See cameras are reason Click here to read the full review

M1031-W	Despite the image quality issue, it is still a great camera for its price, I think that Axis should consider to replace the lens for adjustable one (like 207).

DCS-5300	Spend your money with a company that values the end user. Spent too much time D/Ling patches and upgrades to get the shipped software v1.40 (!!!) to work. No result.

DCS-5300G	Setup was easy..had this thing up and running in 20 minutes. I think the quality of the video is fair; considering the price of this camera I was hoping for a little better picture quality. However, it does allow me to keep on eye on my dog while I'am work...which is why I bought it. The included IP security software seems very impressive, but I have no plans of using it or the motion detection.

DCS-6620	I purchased the camera with an outdoor enclosure because it was usable with a web-browser. Well, I should have looked closer because it only works with Windows. Now I was stuck. I had to sit down to 'invent' something to make it work with our Linux environment.

From that vantage point, you get the full ability of the camera presented to you. With the 270 PTZ, you can zoom out a quarter mile almost, all the way to there back wall, and focus in on a single person.

Firmware seems buggy (v1.02), installation/setup software is needed and is also buggy (crashes). Would rather be able to use a different browser.

(Perhaps you can run it to a DVR and I just don't know that.) If I had one room to watch and had room on my hard drive to capture the video, I'd buy it. If I had several rooms to watch and wanted ongoing video capture on all of them, I'd go with a system that includes a DVR that overwrites itself when it gets full. Click here to read the full review

WVC200	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.

WVC54GC	The camera has been working reliably for several months. Under bright light (outdoors), the video looks good. With the included software, you can record video and have motion detection. You can also display up to 4 cameras, which I suspect have to be Linksys. Has poor low light capabilities. Limited to Internet Explorer or Linksys software for access. If you want DDNS capability, you have to suscribe to Linksys service. If you use a router and it has DDNS, this is not an issue. Due to the Click here to read the full review

I've worked on about 50 models of ip cameras and own an ip surveillance company and this is hands down the worst excuse for a camera I've ever seen.

Problems with outdoor monitoring.. clouds, change of light, swaying shrubbery, etc. Input from a external trigger would help that, old camera does that.

BB-HCM531A	I have three of these cameras at my house now for close to a year. For the money, I feel like I have gotten my money's worth. Using Panasonics recorder software with these cameras gives me stunning results that match what our installation at work with Axis IP cameras and Milestone software for much, much less money.

I bought it at $200 CDN from Tiger Direct at the end of July, 2006. I am returning it though at a sacrifice of 15% restocking fee because of its very grainy video in low light conditions.
