everything is very good on this security camera....especially if you need extra feature during the night time where there is no light on the surrounding area.
Fun camera to have, We got it for security reasons, but are enjoying watching the nightlife around here. seeing much more than we expected. Footage is very clear. If I could give 10 stars for customer service, I would, I'd never set up wireless anything, and was nervous about getting the new wireless router connected as well as the sharx camera. felt I was in over my head. The sharx customer service was exceptional. I ran into something I did not know early on in the process, Sharx sent me handout, pictures explaining the process and then called to walk me through the process, and continued to walk me through the rest of the setup. I am new to video taping and they have answered all me newbie questions with true help and patience, even on things not directly related to their camera. A real pleasure to work with. Highly recommend this company.
From a technical point of view the camera is so-so, the part I was unhappy the most is the support: on the manufacturer website you won't find any "support" section with FAQs, help or documentation. The only thing you can do is to send an inquiry from a very simplistic web form and wait to be called back, during the work days and when they are not in the filed, at a customer site. Which does not work well when you are in a different time zone. In the end, the support engineers will give some generic answers and will offer to connect remotely and configure the camera for you, black magic, without you knowing what happened.
Back to the technical side: the image quality is OK (not great), the camera works OK with Firefox, lacking only a few additional and little useful features present only in Internet Explorer. A problem for me was the camera work in wireless mode only then the LAN cable is disconnected, so you have to make the initial settings with a LAN connection and hope for the best when switching to wireless.
There are so many good things about this camera it's hard to sum up in a short review. First, the setup is straight forward...plug the camera into your router run the included software to discover the camera and you're off. If you know how to find out a device's IP address, all you really need is a web browser to configure the camera meaning it works on Linux, Mac and Windows. The wireless is stable and supports several encryption methods including WPA & WPA2. It has a built in web server so once you have it configured there is no need for a computer other than for viewing the streams. In terms of streaming, the camera has several options and can simultaneously stream 3 different signals (primary, secondary, and a mobile). The mobile stream is great if you want to view the camera using a mobile device such as an iPhone. The camera has a moonlight mode which is ideal when you have only minimal light and the infrared is great for total darkness viewing. The camera has a wide angle of view so it makes for a great nursery monitor, etc. The camera has a built-in feature which allows you to alarm on motion events and be notified either by e-mail, FTP, or HTTP. All-in-all this is a great camera and for all that you get the price is right. If you don't need night vision, then consider the SCNC2606 which offers everything the SCNC2607 does minus night vision. Check out my review on the SCNC2606...both are great cameras...you won't be disappointed with either one.
I wanted a "security" camera to access remotely, and this product is excellent. I, too needed some help finding my camera image on the Web. Sharx tech support called my landline phone after quickly answering my email query. This was a Sunday--how is that for service?
The issue I had was using a Web IP setting instead of the router's IP address; I would have eventually found the error, but tech support quickly had me up and running. The picture quality of my "bird feeder cam" is amazing. Even with the wide field of view and distance from the inside-behind-double-pane-glass window to the bird feeder, I could still identify a robin (yep), many sparrows and a cardinal.
I am going to security-lock the camera down, but remind anybody that allows open access to pay attention to the audio settings and the various low-light choices (you may see high-quality images reflecting from your window at night). With a few adjustments it did not take me long to eliminate my reflections.
I am looking forward to seeing what my cats really do when I am not home, but may put the camera to serious use watching the weather and my house, too. As a matter of fact, there may be another Sharx camera in my future.
This Wifi b/g wireless moonlight / IR night vision IP camera has its own built in web server. You can view the video from your own local area network or you can configure your router to view and control the camera from computers or cellphones on the internet, without dependence on any third party web sites or subscriptions. With the built-in microphone you can listen in. Excellent MPEG4 video quality at a full 640 x 480 resolution with up to 30 frames per second for fluid, natural motion color. For viewing or recording a single camera no software is required besides just your browser. For viewing or recording multiple Sharx IP cameras the included MultiView software supports up to 4 Sharx IP cameras simultaneously. Truly amazing to see the streaming video on your web enabled cell phone. For frequent use we recommend to upgrade your cellphone service to unlimited data, which costs just $15/mo extra on the ATT network. You can see motion even on non-3G phones like SonyEricsson w580i. If your phone does not support video you can see automatically refreshing JPEG images. At home, you can use this camera with your laptop or iPhone as a baby or pet monitor. The very high light sensitivity in "moonlight mode" allows you to view out from a window to see what's happening in the street as long as there is some background light available. For night vision in absolute, total darkness with no visible light, this camera also has powerful infrared LEDs. If you do not need the IR LEDs consider the SCNC2606. If you need bi-directional audio to talk back in addition to listening, consider the SCNC2601 and SCNC2602W models. Wireless operation supports WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption.
