Linksys Wireless-G WVC54GC Network Camera Review
Review created: 12/08/09(updated 12/08/09)

I bought this camera because I want to monitor my baby activities at home, especially my baby is staying with nany and granny during work day. There are standard rules I set, which I expect they will comply to keep my baby safe and healthy. I was doing a lot of research and it was hard to find a web camera that is movable from location to another. I tried two usb web camera, they work ok, but only work by my computer and the cyberlink youcam is great. But for not being able to change location of the camera or lying along cable around the house, it is not a good solution. This camera is perfect moving from place to place without cabling. That's why I love it. I used this camera with Linksys Wireless Router WRT120n. It was the first time for me to set up wireless router and this wireless camera by myself. The setup is complicated for a non-skillful person to do by himself. The first setup may be easy when the camera is within the range. But when it is out of range or power off, this is the time that make me frustrated at first. But after playing around with the setup and configuration and resetting function, I am able to manage it without further problem. I know where the problem lies. This is a refurbished product, but it works great for me. The camera comes with an excellent monitoring and record software (Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera Utility), which I can install more than one cameras. The video quality is reasonable, but not very good enough. If there would be a newer improved version (improve in video quality and installation) i would definitely buy it. I am planing to buy a few to put around the house. I am thinking of also changing my wireless router to a newer version of WRT in order to get a long range of network connection. I have not tried the function to view it from internet. I'm still doing research on that. Hope this give some tips for new users. Feel free to write me if you have any questions. Thanks alot.
