It appears to have a CMOS sensor, so video quality might not the
the best.

This looks like it's really a Trend camera. If so, it's been around for a
long time.

DLink sells the same thing, repackaged slightly, as the DCS-1000W. Not the
worst camera out there, but as another poster has mentioned, the sensor is
CMOS, which isn't nearly as good in low-light conditions as the newer CCD
sensors.

YMMV.

So CCD is the way to go? I've had no idea. Now I wonder what the Linksys
WVC54G is using.
