A Good wifi camera solution : D-Link DCS920 Wireless-G Internet Camera
This article was reviewed by user:
Over the last 4 years, this is my fourth D-Link wireless Camera. I started with the DCS-900W which was a 802.11b camera.
I use the cameras to watch my three dogs while I’m away.
The Pros:
1. The price is right, generally less than $100.
2. The picture quality during daylight is good (not V.Good, nor Excellent)
3. The speed this camera transmitts to my router is far faster than my other camera, a DCS-G900. (The DCS-920 position replced my G900 a 802.11g)
4. I use the D-ViewCam and like it a lot. Rather useless unless you have at least 2 cameras or you want to record.
The Cons:
1. Digital Zoom on the DCS-920 is near useless; it gets so blurry the added digital magnification is near useless.
2. The setup with a linksys router can be trickey and requires some serious understanding. When I got my first one, several years ago, I called D-Link Tech Support and they were fantastic!!! They guided me through every step. (It was an American Tech support guy in the USA) I have used the knowledge I gained from that setup over the years as I bought new cameras. Have never used a D-Link router.
3. The unit is in no way moisture proof, let alone weather proof. It is solely for indoor use.
