Strengths: Nice picture, good sound
Weakness: Range is really weak. The software is annoying
I bought the wireless internet camera to be able to watch my kids downstairs from my PC while I was working in my home office. It works for that purpose pretty well, however, its somewhat tough to get it installed and working. Also, sometimes when I reboot, the software can't recognize the camera, so I have to add it manually. For the price I paid though, overall I'm pretty happy, just a warning...
Strengths: Decent quality, fairly easy setup, wireless connectivity.
Weakness: Sound either really bad or doesn't work at all.
The video quality of this camera is quite decent in daylight. It has a few video formats so there are several ways to watch the video. It even has a static snapshot URL that I was able to hack together to embed the image in my own private website. The viewer software for Windows is decent and has an option of monitoring up to 9 cameras. This is actually making me consider getting more of these to...
Strengths: Excellent distant access and motion detection emails are great.
Weakness: Hard to set up - took awhile
I had a Linksys wireless router so thought this would be a snap to setup. Wrong. First, after four hours with tech support we figured out that the camera had an intermittent power supply. Took it back and exchanged for a new camera. Still had problems setting up but not as bad because I'd done so much with the first one. Took about 40 minutes with their tech support and then it worked like a hot...
Weakness: Hard to configure
Am using version 2.07 of the firmware and motion detection simply does not work. It refuses to send an email when there is motion in frame. This is one of the main reasons I bought it for. Also, you must use Linksys software to view the streaming video. It would be much nicer if it streamed MPEG.
Strengths: good size, easy to adjust
Weakness: Hard to setup
HARD TO SET UP. called tech support and of course got another person in another country. I tried helping and i got no where. I was then told to call the company that makes my router.......I can not believe that I am the only one that has a problem with this. This camera is no where near an easy 1-2-3 setup...... I still can't get it to work..... the Instructions are some of the wouse that I have...
This is a very good Linksys brand wireless-G Internet Video Camera that can be used as a security camera without the mess of wires. With wireless routers prevalent, this is the way to go for cameras. The camera can be setup for viewing from any internet-enabled computer. Its a little expensive but worth the money for someone who needs it.
Strengths: Local network cam
Weakness: Internet camera? My a*s!
Good for local network access only. Does not send email. Does not do motion detection. Cannot be configured. This and other Linksys products are products from Hell! Do not buy Linksys products. I bought also Linksys router and I trashed it. I bought Linksys Wifi card and it needs software configuration. Hard to configure all of them. the router was router from hell. Needed configuration by...
Strengths: NA
Weakness: Not working with our PC!!
This unit is not able to work with our PC completly. We Have been trying to connect it but there is no image show up. We also call their TECH support to resolve the problem but it was end up not working. Return the product and shop for the better one!!

Linksys WVC54GCA Review, this wireless cam is...
Strengths: Mobile video using a cell phone via RTSP Wireless, streams audio with IE browser Snapshot mode so you can fetch just a single JPG for use on a web page, etc. Includes 1 free year of TZO.COM DDNS
Weakness: Motion detection can trigger with light, clouds, wind, but if you have it indoors and no natural lighting "tricks" hit the camera, it will work perfectly.
This camera is great for watching over your home or business from anywhere. You can use a browser (IE or Firefox) and for those of you with mobile devices and certain cell phones, you can use RTSP to connect and watch mobile video with these cameras. Each camera comes with a free year of the TZO.COM DDNS service, so you can reach your camera by using a domain name, even if your IP changes...
