FEATURES- Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera
Send live video to a web browser anywhere in the world!
The Linksys Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera sends live
video through the Internet to a web browser anywhere in the world!
This compact, self-contained unit lets you keep track of your home,
your kids, your workplace -- whatevers important to you.
Unlike standard "web cams" that require an attached PC, the Internet
Video Camera contains its own web server, so it can connect
directly to a network, either over Wireless-G (802.11g) networking,
or over 10/100 Ethernet cable. The advanced MPEG-4 video
compression produces a high-quality, high-framerate, up to 320x240
video stream.
The Compact Internet Video Camera's unique form-factor and wireless
connectivity allows you to mount it on a wall nearly anywhere, or
slip it into its included stand for desktop use. Once it is
connected to your home network, you can "see what it sees" from any
Windows-based PC in the house, while the video stream is secured
from the outside world, hidden behind your Router. If you want the
video to be visible from outside your home network, 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. The SoloLink domain service (trial sign-up
included) lets you access your camera using an easy-to-remember
"name", even if your home Internet connection uses a dynamic IP
address.
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. The included
Viewer & Recorder utility lets you record the audio/video stream to
your local hard drive, "live" or on a predetermined schedule.
Includes Compact Wireless-G Internet Video Camera, Camera Stand/
Wallmount, Power Adapter, Ethernet Network Cable, Setup CD-ROM with
User Guide, DDNS Installation Guide, SoloLink DDNS Free Trial Card,
Registration Card.

Easy setup, does what you expect it to do.

Comments about Linksys Linksys Wvc54gc Internet Ip Webcam Wireless:
This camera is what you would expect in this price range. It works, but not in low light. Setting it up is easy enough inside your own network, but try to get it to work outside your nextwork is nearly impossible unless you have a Linksys router. For this price if you need one, get one, otherwise wait for the technology to improve or spend lost more on a better camera.

Only in daylight or 150 watts of light will this camera work. Any other light it's useless. Other than that it works great.

I work for a children's museum and we are going to set this up in our butterfly garden so we can webcast the activity going on in the garden. We needed a quality camera that was small. This fit the bill perfectly.

Comments about Linksys Linksys Wvc54gc Internet Ip Webcam Wireless:
This is a great product for the price. Picture is pretty good when you adjust the settings for the environment. However, the DDNS service that linksys provides is useless. It will not keep the correct IP address at all times. It seems to hit & miss.
Overall, I will purchase several of these for home use.
