Belkin NetCam HD Wireless IP Camera for Tablet and Smartphone with Night Vision and Digital Audio (F7D7602)

So far so good! The set up was a bit frustrating. It took 2-3 tries to set it up, but once I got past that phase, I was happy! I'm actually impressed with this camera. I have to work out the audio part and speaking into the microphone; only tried it once. The movement is a little choppy, but not really a big deal. And for the price, it works great and does the job. The email alerts detecting movements also came quickly. I'm getting another one for a different part of the house. I was a good distance from home, tested it out and it worked perfectly. It's comforting to be able to see exactly what's going on at home whenever I want. Initially, I wondered if this would be a waste of money, but it turns out it was worth it. I'll be going from the east to the west coast and I'm hoping I'm not disappointed when I test it out then.OCT. 2014 UPDATE: So when I left home on the east coast and traveled to the west coast, I was able to test out the Belkin NetCam. I was very pleased to know that it worked; that I could get a CLEAR shot of the inside of my home. I live in a quiet neighborhood, that's not prone to home invasion or anything like that, but it was still reassuring to be able to look inside my home and know that everything was safe and as I left. I would purchase this again.

The product is neat, clean, well designed - it looks as if it was made by a top quality manufacturer. Trouble started for me when I tried to follow the accompanying instructions (which, by the way, were among the clearest and best prepared instructions I have seen with any product in some time.) Already one of the first steps failed: download the Belkin camera app on your mobile device. First, I tried my one year old Ipad. The App store advised: no app for Belkin camera available. OK, so I tried on my 4 year old Ipad - one of the originals. It found the Belkin camera App - hurrah. The cheers did not last long as it required me to sign in to my Belkin account. My Belkin account?? I had never heard of Belkin before, certainly had no account with them. Not ready to give up, I found the Belkin site with Safari on my MacBook Pro. After a little hunting around, I found a place that offered opening an account for free. Success at last? Not for long. The Ipad Belkin App "failed to recognize username or password". So, I changed the password and tried again: Same result. I gave up for day one. On day 2, I changed the password and username a few times, went in and out of this and that Belkin web site on this and that Ipad and MacBook Pro, but the Belkin camera app simply would not load on my Ipad - which seemed to have gathered my username and password in some other, strange universe - so a password entered with MacBook Pro would not work on any of the Ipads. Most annoyingly: all this occurred within the first few lines of the Belkin camera instructions - which said only to download the app on the mobile device but said absolutely nothing about an account with Belkin or about usernames or passwords or how they worked only on one type of device and not on another. The instructions also boldly proclaimed that one needed no computer - only the mobile device to activate the uit. Rubbish!! So, sadly, the very nice unit went back in the box and is now on its way back to Amazon - which, thank God, takes stuff back and gives full credit for it. Wish someone had tried to actually use one before marketing it! Certainly, Belkin's name is dirt around my place.

The camera is easy to set up and you have ability to snap a picture into your camera role. A major plus for the camera.The definition is not great quality. At 20 feet from camera a face is nor recognizable.,At night you need a lot of light for the camera to work in color mode. I has three lights as well as a HD TV on in a 15X22ft room and it was in black & white mode.All in all it is a good product if you just want to view an area such as confirming an intruder when an alarm goes off.It is also good for viewing activity such as a nanny, maid or the children..I purchased a second camera that is not HD. When it arrivesI will report on it..The App. Works well in both WiFi & 4G mode. Log in is very fast in both modes.For the price, quality of the device and ease of setup as well as tech support which I rate a 10 I recommend this camera..
