I have four BL-C30A cameras and have been totally satisfied. They are stable, never need a reboot, recover from power and severe interference themselves, get good Wi-Fi range, and have pretty good low noise imaging in low light. The nearly-180-degree motorized left-right pan and amazing up-down movement is very impressive and useful. The "favor movement" mode does a darn good job of keeping reasonable clarity yet near-real-time video over modest speed links. The "favor clarity" mode takes some bandwidth but is very good, solid VGA. It can be switched between modes and pan/tilt remotely.
I have had a series of D-Link Wi-Fi cameras, now several years old, and they all had stability problems, primarily with the link, that required frequent rebooting. From my experience, I wouldn't leave one unattended and expect it to be always-on. At dusk or later, the image is strictly colored confetti. They are all in a bag on my shelf. I also have http://www.iqeye.com/ products. They are multi-megapixel cameras with amazing quality and an optional 2nd auto-switch mode for B&W night use. I'm getting older but my eyes are still pretty good yet these cameras produce images at night that I couldn't see directly. The options are astounding for triggering and auto-capturing. In daylight, the images look like they were "snapped" with a modern digital pocket camera and with the enormous resolution you can digitally zoom in and read a license plate, for example, after the fact. It has been perfectly stable and never off line for a year now although I use it with a Buffalo bridge for wireless connectivity. The Web-based software and multi-image support is superb. . . .

Just looking for suggestions. Would like to offer a simple indoor webcam we can sell preconfigured to new wireless customers. This is a new reason for those with second homes to buy our year round service for them. Any camera suggestions? we're looking at panasonic BL-C30A for this use. Any cautions or encouragements for adding this to our menu of offerings? Appreciate your feedback!
