Panacosnic BLC1A Net Cam

Strengths: Great phisical size & and video definition. The 10x zoom capabilities are excellent. Easy configuration and deployment.

Weakness: None

I have been looking for and affordable net cam that will enable me to monitor my bussines remotely. The Panasonic BLC1A certainly fits the bill. It is a no frills simple to use device that is well worth its price. I would recommend it to anybody wanting to keep a close eye on their buss/property from a remote site.

Typical Panasonic Quality

Strengths: Good build quality Full featured Compact Several mounting options Free web site for remote access

Weakness: Not that user friendly ActiveX Control for live video can be finicky

Panasonic makes high quality equipment in general and this network cam is no exception. These don't cost much more than the D-Link/Linksys/Netgear crap which has a much more limited feature set and worse image quality. The unit itself is nice and small and is made from quality plastic. The handy mounting base is metal and swivels into several different positions for ease of mounting. Accessing...

Good Day Eyes

Strengths: Good video resolution in low light (not in darkness), compact size and inconspicuos, works well in temperatures below zero F. View anywhere on internet. Viewing angle is good. Long A/C adapter cord.

Weakness: A little tricky to set-up, no audio, resolution w/10X zoom is poor, must run a CAT-5 cable directly (wireless model was 2X more).

This camera was wired in my garage which exceeds temperature below zero F, and still it works well despite Panasonic indicating "Indoor Only"...lets hope it last. Capability to access these Network cameras from an IP site address is well worth the extra money versus on site only viewing.

BLC1A Home Network Camera

Strengths: Good basic wired web camera. Panasonic furnishes free web site where you can access the camera from any Internet connected computer.

Weakness: Would be nice if it had a microphone so you could listen also.

This is a good quality basic wired web camera, picture only, no sound. Panasonic furnishes a free web site where you can view for free. The directions are very detailed and make setting up the camera a breeze. If there is a problem, there is an 800 number for tech support. Camera is perfect if you need to "look in" on what's going on at home when you are at work. The website requires an Active X...

Panasonic Network Camera: Gets job done for the price

Strengths: Simple Internet explorer view - works everywhere. Passes several firewalls easily. Convenient. Performs what it says.

Weakness: No sound, average resolution

A sufficiently nice camera with average resolution. Panasonic provides a free web site for life to access the camera. There's an activeX plug-in that installs in Internet explorer, and then shows the video. Haven't figured out how to use with blackberry yet. Maybe it doesn't work in blackberry browser due to the plug-in problem. Overall, happy with the purchase.
