PLANEX CS-W04G Wired/Wireless Network Camera Review

Because of the little product details offered on this page, I was initially hesitant, but the low price of $52 for a wireless IP camera was too irresistable. I'm glad I purchased it. My review would be based on comparison with a few other brands of IP cams that I have used in the past few years.
1. Wireless - it is much stronger than all my other brands. It reaches my router which is about 60 ft at the other end of the house, and it has to go thru 6 walls. It provides wireless security WEP and WPA2. When replugged into the power outlet, give it about a minute, and it will automatically connect with the router.
2. It was a breeze to set this cam up by using the included CD, much easier than the Panasonic or Asante Voyager.
3. Very simple to set it to send you snapshots by email when triggered by motion.Also can send video clips triggered by motion by FTP to your website or by email, but I haven't tried configuring to send video as I don't need it. You can record videos at the console while watching live action at the cam.
4. Motion Sensor page - very simplistic compared with the more expensive brands that give two or three zones for you to set up different degree of sensitivity. This Planex cam provides only one zone, but this is sufficient for my need.
5. It allows you to set to "outdoor" mode, which avoids the wash-out look when facing a sunny street. Indoors at 60Hz or night at 50Hz which brightens up when using indoors. Pointing this cam outdoors at night will be just a black screen unless you have street lights, or headlights of vehicles rolling past your screen. This cam is good only for indoors with daylight or some dim light, but not for outside night view without street lighting. Perfect for a nanny cam. However, if you run more than one cam simultaneously, you will need to subscribe for a stronger broadband.
6. The cam gets warmer than my other brands, but the top and bottom have vents. The casing is slightly bigger than all my other brands.
7. My only complaint is that the stand should be a quarter inch higher as the power plugs into the slot under the cam, and the plug makes it hard for the cam to face horizontal, but if you tilt the cam slightly upwards, then the plug would not jut into the surface.
8. I have made a demo clip with this cam for this review, showing a park on a very windy sunny day. You will notice the dramatic change in brightness on the grass as the clouds move quickly. This video was made in "outdoor" mode.
