D-Link DCS-6620G Wireless PTZ Dual Codec 0.05 Lux Optical Zoom Internet Camera Review

I installed this device to monitor my baby in his crib, especially for me to hear when I'm in the room and he needs my help.
Installation is very easy – only took me 10 minutes. The web-based interface is not as decorated, but very easy to use. After installing a small ActiveX control, works immediately with my Internet Explorer 6.5. I was also able to create multiple user accounts so that my son is not as tech-savvy parents and grandparentsuncles / aunts can see I live in Taiwan and the West Coast. It was operational for several weeks and no previously reported bugs have been found. Imagine that updated firmware / software.
My overall comment:
Pro
– Very easy to configure
– Supports two-way audio communication – I can hear my son and talk
– Chamber of rotation, zoom, white balance (Iris), also the LED can be controlled easily by web interface
– Ability to createmultiple user accounts with diff. Privileges
– Built-in Web-Based Streaming Server – very easy to set up a web-cast
– A self-focus and auto-white balance
Weaknesses:
– Does not support Firefox (reason for 4 stars)
– Autofocus may not focus entirely

Rock Solid Camera – Joni –
If this camera for over two years and worked rock solid. I have no problem with it the connection and installation only took about 15 minutes. I have the camera sitting in a window and can read a license plate a block away. I have the camera set up to cover my car in my driveway at night and low lux capability allows you to see very well with a street light as illumination. The price is a bit "stiff D, but the lowest price-Link units are a drop in the generalquality and characteristics. I am not sure if the problems were with the unit initially, but I have no problem with the camera (other than price).
Excellent Wireless Camera – Suwanee AC – Suwanee, GA United States
Device is now in operation for two months. Setup was easy (LAN) is installed and running in 15 minutes, then broadcast router port. I hesitated to buy this product because of the many negative feedback, but I had to try because of the function of 0.05 lux. So far, there are no problems of lock-up and I'm happy with it, with the latest firmware in 2008. Web Interface only works with Internet Explorer 6 / 7 (I do not know if it works with IE8), but you must turn off Microsoft's Silverlight orthe video is not displayed. Not supported browsers: Firefox, Safari, Opera and Chrome is the ActiveX component of the camera is not installed. ActiveX component is responsible for displaying video.
Its pretty good depending on how you use it – Anne Kathleen Bernier – Jupiter, FL
I own my business, but I have a client that needs people who knew how to work security cameras. I do not think it would be so difficult. Security cameras needed for a national card game has 3 years in different places all the time. They wanted us to see or catch cheaters or exclude a possible hoax. I started with 4 cameras.It was amazing. He said how far can zoom and image quality. I could see people in their tracksuits paper of 100 meters.But when I updated to 8 cameras, started the program to become a problem.Using dview CAM, 8 cameras began to freeze or reduce Out was also using a router DLINK DIR 450 and had Air card sprint connected (since it is recommended that you use with these cameras), but what I failed to mention is that the more cameras you have, the more you have problems too . The card sprint air (and any other AirCard of you buy) provides only limited bandwidth. And the divide to 8 camerasactually decrease a lot, which will then give a means connection.The unstable for me with this problem is to have a solid connection to the Internet as Comcast internet.But because I always travels with this system, I can not do that. wish I knew that I passed 4 other cameras.Now I buy another router and card air and laptop 8 cameras to split into 2. His support will take hours. When you first call will be assisted by a novice and if you can not help, it willTransfer to a higher level of technical support, and if you can not help transfer technology Wil to another level. They are ready to say that a product is defective, even if it is not. So you want to be sure you've done everything you can. I know more about these cameras that I want to know. I had to change the settings for the cameras, routers, ports, static IP and everything technical. Also, make sure the computer used is a 32-bit operating system, because it is NOT compatible with 64 bits.More than 3 GB of RAM, of any nature will be 64 bits.
