Summary: Great in daylight
Comment: Camera works great in daylight, but poorly at night. The ftp setup was a little tricky. For the price it is a very good wireless web cam for adding
pictures to a website.

Summary: Works ok for me
Comment: This camera is working great for me. I've got it set up inside as a turtle cam. I had to change the default IP address in the setup and then setup went smoothly. The only problem I'm having so far is that I have to now reboot my wireless router after every power outage. I don't know why...

Summary: Great camera for the price
Comment: Given the price, my expectations were not very high but this camera has really surprised me. Form factor is good - about the size of a 'real' camera. Construction is plastic but fairly well put together. The picture quality is decent. Configuration was relatively simple. It took very little time getting it onto the wireless network and configuring it to upload pictures periodically to an ftp server (sorry, no SFTP or SCP). Documentation is the biggest weak spot. The camera has definitely worked well for my needs.

Summary: Pretty good starter camera
Comment: I recently bought this camera based on the price and reasonable reviews. After finally getting it working, I can see the reviews pretty much reflect the user experience: either the end user is relatively knowledgeable about routers and/or their configuration is straightforward, in which case the rating is high, or they get frustrated and give up because they can't get the configuration to work, for any variety of reasons, in which case the rating is low. Truth be told, just like PCs, there are so many possible combinations of network/router/ISP that it would be pretty challenging to make the setup bulletproof.
In any case, let me briefly describe my setup experience, and then I'll explain my overall rating of good (3 stars). I am no network expert by any means, but I love experimenting (that is, until I tried setting this thing up). I plugged the camera into my Linksys WRT54GS router with an ethernet cable (as recommended) in order to configure the camera. The camera comes configured with a static IP of 192.168.0.20; for this to work properly, the camera and router have to be on the same subnet, so I went into my router configuration utility and changed its IP from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 -- this turned out to be a big mistake. Over the course of the next hour or so, it appeared as though everything was working -- I could see the camera functioning, and was able to set various camera parameters (FTP & email server, upload schedule, etc.) but nothing worked -- the camera would not upload any pictures. I then tried calling Trendnet tech support; they answered within 2 minutes (this was around 10 PM at night) but despite being friendly, they essentially read me the info out of the manual, which was of no use. Frustrated, I did some Googling, and came across an epinions review, which led me to the solution: the router does not like to be on the x.x.0.x subnet. Thus, I changed the camera's IP to 192.168.1.20, and returned the WRT54GS to 192.168.1.1, and the FTP and email started working! Of course, there were a few other router and camera parameters I had set meantime, which probably needed also to be done, namely to port forward the FTP port (21), email (25) and alternate http (I set it to 1024, but I think the default 81 would be fine too), all these are under Applications & Gaming | Port Range Forward. On the camera, I had to put in the DNS IPs (copied from the Linksys status page, which are assigned by your ISP), the wireless security information (WEP key from the router), and FTP and email information (also provided by your ISP).
Once the setup was complete, I successfully tested the upload by FTP and email, both worked fine. The view and image quality of the camera is exactly as others have described: limited (narrow angle) view, pretty good in daylight, poor in low light conditions. However for the price, I feel this is a fair trade-off, and rate it good, especially at the $100 price point. If I could figure out how to make it stream, that would make it a real winner.

Summary: Easy to setup and MAC friendly
Comment: I love how easy the TRENDnet Wireless Internet Camera Server ( TV-IP100W Version C1) was to setup! I had it up and running in minutes. I mounted it on the front of my house in a Security Labs SLH-320 Weatherproof Camera Housing and monitor it using SecuritySpy Software (http://www.securityspy.com/) from my Macintosh. It even allows me to view it remotely from any browser, even from my iPhone! I even hooked it up using EvoCam (http://www.evological.com) with no problems.
