Just got this camera and it works fairly well, but if you're considering getting one you need to understand what you're getting into.First, I can't comment much about setup for most people; I had no problems setting it up for basic operation but I didn't use the installation program at all - I don't have Windows machines so the installation CD was no use to me. I was able to set it up using the web interface in the device, which works fine with the Firefox browser and probably other browsers as well. You WILL need to plug the unit in to an ethernet connection to start up (I believe this applies for "standard" installation as well as the approach I took), and if you don't do the standard installation you WILL need to be able to figure out what IP address the device gets from your network (you DO have your network set up with a DHCP server, right?) (my understanding is that the Windows installation program takes care of this stuff for you but I could be wrong). I had no problem doing this because I run my own home network and know how my DHCP and DNS and wifi servers are set up and how to modify them. You have been warned.If you want to be able to view the camera from outside your local network you'll have to set up port forwarding through your router (or you'll have to give the camera a routable IP address) - but see my comments about security below.Operation was as I expected. Field of view is good, switchover from normal light to IR is good, response to commands is good. The web server in the device is rough around the edges but handles all the basic stuff. I used "server push" mode because I'm not running IE on any of my devices. Not a lot of feedback when panning or tilting - that interface could use some work.I did find a nice app for my Android phone - tinyCam Monitor - which smooths out a lot of those rough edges. Theoretically the app allows you to do motion detection and two-way audio stuff with this model camera, but I haven't tried those yet.Make sure to change the administrator, operator, and visitor passwords!A minor annoyance is that any time you change network settings it reboots, and when it reboots it does a complete pan/tilt cycle which takes a while.The menu for setting up (or disabling!) DDNS is confusing, at best, and it's not clear to me if you can really turn it off. There's one item that can't be changed for "manufacturers domain", and then there is a fixed list of ddns services which includes a "none" option. I've seen some forum comments for a similar Foscam camera that apparently has the same confusing menu; support personnel for that camera swear up and down that setting it to "none" turns off all DDNS action but I'm suspicious that it might not.Security - there basically is none. There are three levels of login - administrator, operator, and visitor - that can do everything, operator the camera, or view the camera, respectively, but all traffic is unencrypted. This means that, for example, if you have set up port forwarding and log in as the administrator from your cell phone or from a computer outside your local network, your administrator user name and password will be sent in the clear and can theoretically be sniffed by anyone watching your data stream. Once that happens, someone could log in to your camera and load new software onto it to do whatever they wanted. Do you really want a camera controlled by anonymous outsiders panning around your house?My suggestion is that you turn off DDNS, don't do port forwarding, and watch the video stream on your cell phone only if you're hooked up to your local network via WiFi. Alternatively (if you know how to do it) you could set up some sort of SSH tunnel into your local network and use port forwarding. That way the video stream and password/username information is at least as secure as your SSH tunnel.I would have preferred at a minimum that the camera use https instead of http for all its traffic. I would also like some way of knowing that DDNS is _really_ turned off when I want it to be turned off.I'm giving it 3 stars instead of 4 mostly because of the security aspects. The camera has great potential but you really need to be aware of and think about the security and privacy issues that having one of these in your house will bring.

This camera has an IR Cut Filter and therefore colors are true. Quality is very good. Ebedded software seems more complete than Foscam software. Seems to work faster with less delay. Wireless is b/g (not N). Can manually focus. The auto iris seems to work. As with all IR comaeras, when the IR is on, you cannot see outside through a glass window. Get an outside camera if you want to see outside at night. The other choice is setup so you are not going through glass at night. Embedded software for notifications and alarms works. Instruction book is decent and somewhat improved over the Foscam instructions. Both Foscam and Agasio have forums which help with questions. In fact, I think they are actually the same company with different names or at least the forums are managed by the same folks. Because the camera connects you outside your network by cell phone, tablet, or PC its use in baby monitoring, baby sitter monitoring, home monitoring, etc... is a lot more versatile. A nice product that performs well.

The Foscam 8910 and the Agasio 502W are great IP camera's, easy to install and port forward. I use and agasio 622w outside as well. All great camera's and I would recommend then to anyone. Customer service is also pretty good if your patient.
