These cameras do a great job. I have 3 cameras set up in my office - I can now monitor the activity in my surroundings while I am working.
Our neighborhood was having crime problems so we got 4 cameras and hooked them up to an old dell. Also bought another system to remotely monitor the caregivers for my 90 year old mother.
They aren't as good as new ones. Don't buy refurbished cameras.
The best all around product for home security surveillance we found. Police came and viewed some of what we captured and eventually they caught the burglars.
GREAT product. Most folks have an old computer that they haven't gotten around to throwing away or recycling and this product makes perfect use of that old computer.
Had to upgrade the video card but they are cheap and easy to install.
Night vision is adequate if you have bright outdoor lights. Works well. If you shut down your hard drive, WiLife is also shut down. 2 problems I encountered were, the need to delete recorded images atleast every 24 hrs {you can save segments} to keep your computer hard drive from being strained and WiLife system only works when computer is on. I have indoor cameras looking outdoors through my windows, keeping an eye on my entry ways. I have motion detection recording enabled.
I LOVE them. I can look into the living room to make sure the TV is off when its suppose to be.
The cameras were very easy to install - which is a plus for me since I'm not particularly techno literate. I feel much more connected to them during the day and more secure knowing that I can see them and can "supervise" just a bit even though I can't be there all the time.
I am a working mom with two small children that are with a nanny for three days a week. I can check my son's nursery to see if he is sleeping when its suppose to be nap time.
Would recommend these to anyone. I bought these cameras to be able to see what was happening in my house during the day while I was away.
I can log in from my computer at work and see what is happening in four different rooms.
There is now a fan on the power unit of the camera which makes a noticible noise. I ordered this as an additional camera and the design has been changed. This may not be a problem if the camera is placed out of the way somewhere but would be heard if it is in a public/ open area. These cameras work very well as security devices and are reliable and easy to set up. I have two in place.
