 Great Security Camera system March 18, 2009

I was expecting delivery in 7 days and was surprised to receive it in 3 days. That was astounding. It took about a good 15 minutes to install the software. After that I was up and running in a few minutes. The clock camera replay gives excellent quality for such a small camera and the motion detector is excellent. Replay is easy as 1,2,3. Dont forget to turn your camera sound off if any of your cameras are inside.
Monitoring my camera from work is so simple I couldnt believe it. I took advantage of a special discount to save selected recordings to the WiLife website.
For the money is one of the best buys I have ever taken advantage of.

We bought this product to monitor our nanny, and it works great. The interface is very easy to use and easy to set up and it records with great quality. The only things that I don't like are that it doesn't record sound and when I tried using the internet feature it kept crashing my cable modem, but that may be a problem with my internet connection.

I purchased the WiLife Digital Video Security system to nab "Goldilocks." The system was extremely easy to set up and install. I've attempted to activate the mobile alerts, but have not been successful. I need to read the directions in more detail. The video saves to an external hard drive that is hidden.
The color and clarity of the video is excellent. The sensitivity to movement is amazing. The camera starts recording when faint shadows or reflective light passes through the recording area or when someone is standing at the door (behind the curtain).
The system has other benefits as well. The kids don't know we have it. It has come in handy resolving sibling rivalries and who started what and how... ;o) also captured some interesting dance moves by the five year old when he was supposed to be eating his lunch.
It's a great system that I highly recommend for any home or small office.

I was skeptical about this camera system living up to it's easy installation claim - but it does. I am truely amazed.
I am running Windows XP Media Center over a wireless 802.11g network. My antivirus and firewall is Trend Micro Internet Security. The security settings are high because I connect wirelessly. My DSL connection is through a 2Wire router using DHCP for addressing. My power to the PC and the camera is through an APC battery backup. I figured that between the firewall filtering and the battery backup conditioning the power this system would at least need some tweeking.
All I needed to do was install the software, plug it all in, and follow a few on screen directions. It was that easy. The system uses the electrical lines to communicate so installation is as simple as plugging one adapter into an outlet near the PC and linking it to the PC via the included USB cable and then plugging another adapter near the camera and connecting the two with the included cable (I think it is a standard RJ45 cable). The system worked flawlessly right off the bat - even though the adapter that connects to the PC is plugged directly into my UPS. The PC interface to manage the system is straight forward and intuitive. I didn't even need to access the help menu to fine tune my preferences.
The system I was shipped has the indoor camera rather than the clock camera pictured here. As mounting options, the indoor camera comes with a swivel mount that must be screwed onto a surface, a suction cup mount and a desk stand. This camera is easily to focus and position. The biggest drawback for this camera it the excessive status LEDs. In a business the one red and three green flashing lights could be a plus but at home it is annoying. Fortunately, you can turn them off in the computer interface but it took two tries and unplugging the camera once for the setting to stick.
Lastly, I went to the WiLife internet site and created an account in a few short minutes (maybe 5 tops). Shortly thereafter, I was watching the camera feed via the internet. How cool is that. And this service is free with the camera. One of my dogs is going to be so busted as I am now able to watch and see which one is tearing up the bed while I'm at work.
This really works!! October 26, 2009

This system is amazingly simple to set up and use. Was skeptical that viewing remotely would work that easily, but it worked right off the bat! I can look in my business anytime, anywhere and see captured video or live footage. Caught a thief in the act in a couple days. Also use it to keep an eye on what's going on while I'm at work. Can't wait to add more cameras.
