This is my third Foscam brand IP camera in the past three years. The video speed mostly depends on your wireless router bandwidth and signal strength. I use mine simply to have a snapshot recorded on a motion event (via third party software).On this camera, the focus is sharp and can be adjusted. The focus on 'IR only' is a little soft, with 'IR only', in pitch black, you can get about 10 feet of coverage. By varying the brightness and contrast settings, that will change. Also, any external light source (example: outdoor, night, with a nearby street lamp) will greatly increase the IR coverage. The lens angle is wide, meaning, you will be able to see a wide area with the sacrifice of resolution. Example: A car pulls into your drive, you may not be able to detect the license plate number of the car but you will be able to recognize the car type and peoples faces.This camera can also monitor audio. The audio is not perfect, you will generally hear a little 'buzz' that occurs at the current frame rate of your camera. I did not use the 'transmit audio' function.Foscam does have a support forum which is good.. Their technical people seem to respond with helpful advice.To be honest, I did not use the 9dbi antenna with the camera. My package arrived with the normal antenna that is about 4 inches long, and the 9dbi antenna that is about 14 inches long (big antenna!). I did use the 9dbi on a WLAN computer in my house. The signal strength indicator went from 63% (with a stock 5dbi antenna) to 89% with this 9dbi antenna. The antenna works.For the price this camera is a bargain. It is not perfect but the pan & tilt control adds a lot of value.:)

I got this camera set up in about four hours including registering a dynamic DNS record. I must admit that I spend some of that time modifying my wireless router and my VoIP configuration first. It was moderately tough to setup especially if the steps do not happen like the Instruction Booklet. I ran into problem with the default port. Later, I realize that it needs to be change to another port number if you want to configure it in the router. The picture quality is fair(6/10), features(8/10), & setup(6/10). Be sure to follow the configuration sequences as described in the Instruction Booklet. I have used an AXIS PTZ camera before, where it has a picture quality of 9/10.My camera is about 30-40 feet from my wireless router. It does NOT need the 9dbi antenna. It was also unnecessary to buy additional camera mount as the website so conveniently suggested.
