Well I went ahead and got the Toshiba IK-WB11A Network Camera. The thing
works great! Right out of the box! Unlike other products which had me
messing with the router, ports, IP addresses, etc., this thing came alive
as soon as I plugged it in. And once I figured out which of its 2 MAC
addresses (it gives 2, one for Lan, one for WLan) to use, I was able to use
it wireless. No problems there either. Some of the web pages built inside
of it are rough around the edges. I was especially interested in having
the camera detect motion and throw images up to my ftp sight. And while it
does that, the admin pages to set that all up are somewhat confusing. And
the page on how the images are to be recorded and sent to an ftp site seems
undocumented, even after downloading and reading the advanced user guide.
Pre-recording frames? Post-recording frames? # of frames per second?
Can't find an explanation anywhere. Overall though, a good product, GREAT
image, not terribly difficult to set up, works right away. Don't see the
reason for having an SD card slot, since if the camera is ripped off, there
goes all the snapshots. That's why I like its ability to send to an ftp
server. Even sends email notifcation when alarms go off. I like it!
