First-- Quality:I think the picture quality of this camera is awesome. We have been using it for about 3 months now. The picture is clear enough where we can see by looking at the monitor if our daughter is breathing while she's sleeping. We can also see if her eyes are open, or if she spit up. The night vision is incredible, just as clear as with daylight. Before my daughter was born we used this camera as a security camera and it was perfect for that as well. We plan on purchasing one or two more to use as security cameras.The biggest con of this camera, at least with ours, has been audio. We have never gotten clear audio from either our PC or our iPhones. We have an AngelCare Movement & Sound Monitor and we use that for audio to monitor our daughter.Second-- Configuration:I did not find this camera nearly as hard to configure as it seems some others have. I found the instructions to be satisfactory. I would say I've had some experience with computers, but never with network configuration or installing anything like this.The DNS service the instructions tell you to use is no longer free. You can find free sources, but it's not built into their software the way DynDNS is. So, I just paid the $20 for a year of service from DynDNS and followed the instructions and it worked.I then paid $4.99 for the Foscam Surveillance Pro app on the iPhone. The app rocks. I can take screenshots or video, pan/tilt the camera, and there's a talk button as well so I can use the 2-way talk from my iPhone.In total it cost me about $110 and about 20 minutes to get this camera working. The average video baby monitor costs between $150 - $300 these days and are not viewable from your computer at work or on your smart phone. The downside to this would be that it will only work as long as your internet is working. Comcast screwed up royally over and over again when we moved and it took about 10 days for us to have internet, and therefore, no monitor during that time.Overall, if you're not computer illiterate, and you don't mind paying the $20 a year for DynDNS's services (or taking the time to figure out how to use a free service similar to it), I would recommend this camera for you.If you only plan on using this camera locally via WiFi (no web access) then you don't even need to worry about DynDNS or similar service. My husband and I will be buying more of these low-priced, high-quality cameras!UPDATE: It's now October 31st (happy halloween) and we've been using this camera for several months now. With our set-up I still have no complaints. In fact, the reason I'm back here is because we're ordering another one to put in another room in our house.It may be complicated to set-up in the beginning, but once it's ready, you're rewarded with clear picture, amazing night vision and the convenience of using this on my smart phone.I did bump it down from 5 stars to 4 stars because the audio feature is not really usable, although we've used it before if our other monitor is not within reach. There's a lag and lots of static. Still, I plan on ordering at least 2 more!

I bought several cameras over 14 months ago to monitor my vacation home. Installation went well and they have not failed me except one which refused to go wireless. Fortunately, I was able to wire it to the router and it works fine. I use foscam surveillance pro application for my iPad and works flawlessly. On my wish list, I would like see these cameras to alert me by email when the ip address is changed by the service provider. Final point they are robust as I have been using them for the last 14 months.

I bought one of these cameras to keep an eye on my house when I'm not home. The setup was quite easy and the remote access is very nice. I can even access the live video feed from my house on my iPhone. I'm quite pleased with this purchase. The camera also works well with Blue Iris software and multiple cameras.Update: After 6 months of use I am still very happy with this camera. I access it directly (using Firefox is better than IE with this) and I also use it with Blue Iris which can control up to 10 cameras (works great with this model) and do DVR. I also use a free iPhone app called Cam Viewer which controls this camera very nicely and works well with the iPhone and iPad. If you want to access through the intrenet you will need to have internet service with a public IP address and configure the port forwarding on your router to point at the camera's internal IP address. I guess I should buy another one - I am a fan.
