Techko Glass Break Sensor Alarm (S086N) (Telko S086) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)[...]
When we tested the sound of the glass break, the sound only lasted for 10-15 seconds. The first 5 seconds were pretty loud, then the sound faded away. If you are in another room with the door closed, you are not going to hear the alarm. Also, the product sticks to the window.
Early one morning about 2 am, apparently the glue decided to stop working, so the device fell and the alarm (5 seconds) loud woke me up. I only had the product for 1 week. Eventually all 3 of the devices fell of my windows.

Lorex Wireless Easy Connect Pan / Tilt Network IP Remote Surveillance Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This granny couldn't. Perhaps yours is more tech savvy.
The product description for the Lorex Wireless Easy Connect Pan/Tilt Network IP Remote Surveillance Camera reads: "Lorex's new Pan Tilt Wireless Easy Connect Network Camera allows users to remotely monitor their business or home through a secure, password protected connection that requires no networking knowledge." I must take issue with the 'easy' in the name of the product and the 'no networking knowledge.'
Once I found and paid someone who does this kind of thing for a living, I discovered that the camera system itself is quite good. The images are clear and illumination a welcome bonus. But there is no way I could have installed it myself.
However, even my professional installer found the Lorex directions to be useless.
So if you're looking for an easy-to-install system, look elsewhere. But if you're willing to pay for help installing a rather pricey system, then you might want to give it a go. And keep in mind that it's wireless - you need a router.
Note to Lorex: You have a fine product with shoddy installation instructions, and you need to be clearer about system/set up requirements. That should be an easy enough problem for a good tech writer to solve.

Lorex LNE1001 Easy Connect Network IP Remote Surveillance Camera (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This was my first camera for home surveillance. This product is very east to setup. Viewing while connected to the local network provides fairly smooth motion and sound quality. The web based application for remote viewing is more jumpy but still serves the purpose.

Panasonic Wireless Network Camera and Pet Cam (BL-C20A) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Compact, very easy to set up and the image is sharp and clear. Free DDNS service makes this the best buy. I have another camera, Linksys, and I had to pay for this service. I defitely will drop it when it comes up for renewal. No more Linksys camera for me!
After a few days of use..I still love it! I just found out that I can access the camera with my Mac via Firefox browser. This alone beats all other cameras in the market! Set up the motion detector to email pictures is a breeze. You can also set the camera to periodically send a picture, motion or not. The only thing that you could say it is less than the Linksys is it could not send a video. Linksys video only lasts 30 seconds anyway. Highly recommended.
8/21/08: I have 2 of these cameras and the first one (3 yrs old) just failed. It is just not powered up doesn't matter how many times I tried. I guess it is expected. It has been reliably in service for 3 yrs. I will buy it again, when Amazon has a good deal.
The camera's software works flawlessly in Mac OS. I regularly access my camera via Safari web browser. This alone beats most other camera out there. You can get to it from either Windows or Mac. I set it up to email the jpeg to my Blackberry and view the picture there. Could not figure out how to do this on an iPod though.
3/20/09: When the 2nd camera failed, I thought the power supply was the culprit. I bought a $15 power supply from W**T and guess what? It works again. So I now both of my cameras work again! If your camera failed, likely it is the power supply!
Also, I can access my cameras from my iPod touch (live) using the supplied Safari browser when I have a wifi connection. COOL!!

Cnet Wireless IP Surveillance Camera CIC-930W Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product does not work with MAC OSX at all. I contacted their product support site & they said they didn't offer any software to configure the camera on a Mac. I tried using an older Mac as well with Virtual PC to configure the camera, but it would not recognize the camera on the network. Don't waste your time or money on this junk.

Liftmaster 66LM Billion Wireless Keyless Entry - 390MHz Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although I have had my Liftmaster Garage Door Opener for 15 years, I just found out about this keypad opener - I wish I knew about the gizmo years ago.
I live alone, so when I travel away from home for any length of time I'm always fearful that I may lose or misplace my house key while away and then be locked out of my home when I return. Yes, I could hide a spare key on the property somewhere, but this device eliminates having to do so. Now, with the keypad installed, I might not even carry my house key when I travel. I'll just leave my house key hidden in the garage, and use the 4 digit code on the keypad to open the garage door when I return home. Also, now when I leave my home to go road biking, there is no longer any need to bring along my key or garage remote control.
I decided to mount the keypad on the side of my home where all the of connector boxes for my home's utilities are mounted rather than next to the garage door as suggested in the instructions. The keypad is made of durable plastic that can easily be painted to match the color of your home. It takes only a few seconds to get the keypad to learn the opener's RF code.

D-Link Securicam Network DCS-950G Wireless Internet Camera Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Great camera but it is a bit slow to set-up.
My main issue was that I use Firefox, but the camera will only log in using the Inernet Explorer window. They don't tell you this on the instructions and it still gives you the login panel - but it just says done and won't connect you to the camera.
When you iron out these problems its a great camera a little tricky to focus and the view angle is quite small but it is easy to move to any location and you get a great image.

D-Link D-Life Internet Surveillance Camera Starter Kit (DHA-390) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I can't fathom why anybody would actually buy this product. Across the board, everything about it is just plain wrong.
Powerline networking is a relatively good idea, but it looks like the marketing department at D-Link got together one day to see what kind of products they could cram it in to. With this surveillance camera, the implementation is sloppy and unnecessary.
Keep in mind too, that Powerline networking isn't always as straightforward as plugging in a "wall wort" and connecting ethernet to it. If you're using any multi-outlet adapters, or if your home's wiring isn't nearly pristine, the experience can be almost as painful as just running CAT5 cable through your house.
The camera itself is massive compared to any web cam made in the past decade, and assembling it to the base is needlessly complicated for what it is. On the plus side, the base is quite heavy, so it isn't going to be knocked down easily. On the other hand, you absolutely must use wall anchors if you plan to mount the camera on a wall. And given the size of this camera, it's so large and obvious that your baby and pets are the only ones who aren't going to notice it.
Perhaps the most mind boggling issue I have with this kit, is that you can't host it yourself. To see what's on the camera, you have to go to D-Link's site (which is simply not possible if you aren't using Windows and Internet Explorer) and create an account. Once you've done that, you can only see the camera through D-Link's site.
I'm not typically a paranoid person, but that really raised an "Are you serious?" from me. Why the heck would you have a camera in your home broadcasting to D-Link's site? What stops D-Link from peeking in? And perhaps more importantly, what happens if D-Link goes under, or decides that they're just not interested in offering the service anymore? More likely than not, you'll be left with expensive, useless junk.
Don't get me wrong, I can see the value in offering a camera that "just works", but not having the option to host it yourself, and being locked in to Internet Explorer are ridiculous barriers.

VideoSecu 1/3" Sony CCD CCTV day night security camera 420TVL 3.5-8mm varifocal lens 0.01Lux with free camera bracket W60 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After my sister's house was burglarized, I got her three of these fake security cameras and I ordered 2 for myself. They look just like the real ones on the house next door to me. A friend of my sister's asked me if it had a red LED (to look "more real.") I said No and that's why I chose them. I see VERY few red operating lights on home security cameras these days. Besides, you don't want the criminals seeing you up on a ladder replacing the batteries on your fake cameras, do you? I also purchased a sign from a local sign shop reading, "WARNING! Property under video surveillance." The cherry on top of our charade...
The only downside is the small black wire coming out the back. There is nowhere to put the other end. You could tuck it under the base when you install the camera, but I thought that looked pretty amateur, so I just cut the little wire off at the rear of the camera. This is really just a psychological ploy, anyway. If the average burglar sees mounted cameras and warning stickers on your windows, his first, easiest course is to find an easier house to break into. Sure, a determined thief will break in anyway, but this is a great, first line of defense against the more common lower level, crime-of-opportunity type thieves.
If you can't afford a full-on, real video monitoring system, this is a great alternative. I see home security system cameras on MANY homes and you will blend right in with these. It's the cheapest insurance you will ever get!
