Strengths: Wireless, pan, tilt, zoom, ez to set up local & internet

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very easy setup, lots of customization, motion detection, works well wirelessly

Weaknesses: fixed lens, digital zoom with no optical zoom, mic is sporatic at best.

Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent camera that does everything D-link says it will, but some things better than others... the mic is a waste of time, and with no optical zoom, distances over 10-15 feet loose alot of detail. However, this PTZ camera can be easily controlled via the internet, recorded by schedule or movement with lots of customization. for an inexpensive PTZ, this is a terrific camera.
