Linksys Wireless Reviews

rated 4 out of 5 Typical Cisco wireless cam
by James Kauczka from NJ, 2010-05-16


Cam came exactly when they said. I like the range of motion. I'm not sure how good the wireless range is: I've seen people have issues with the range but, I have the antenna horizontal (hidden from view) and it's 30'+ from the router (G) through 2 walls and it works just fine. The zoom is actually only a 2x and I'm pretty sure it's digital so not really a zoom. That's ok, with a 640x480 picture it's not bad at all. If you know how to open a port in your router things are fine viewing from the web. Worth the money.



rated 3 out of 5 Active X issues
by H. Ngai , 2010-02-10


Good solid build, the pan/tilt motor is really loud. I had to return it due to it's incompatibility with my Macs as it will only work with Internet Explorer. PC setup had problems too,I was only able to log in once or twice to the IP that was assigned. there was a problem with the active X plugin that was failing to install, tried on 4 PCs. I see it on my network, but image would not show, the pan and tilt functions would work, so I know it's connected, but there was just an "x" where the image should be.

Motor is annoyingly loud so forget about being discrete. I returned it with a 15% "restocking fee" plus I had to pay for the shipping back. bought a wireless Panasonic NetCam instead since I already had two in the house and know that it would work flawlessly. Some people had a better setup experience than myself. Maybe you'll luck out.



rated 2 out of 5 Cisco WVC200 Wireless Internet Camera
by Gary C. Buntenbach , 2010-01-31


This is an older model of the product. Many improvements have been made to the newest model WVC210. If money is an issue go with the WVC200 the improvements are not that significant. Both models have an email notification which is NON functional. When Cicso support was contacted, their help was non existant on the problem. Their solution was, "it is your ISP problem," with NO troubleshooting effort on their part whatsoever. This is uncommon for Cicso, MOST of their support is acceptable. Must be all these cost cutting efforts that we end users get to suffer with. These cameras are classified as Small Business equipment as opposed to Consumer end users. If you purchase one of these cameras, make sure you are buying the model you want.



rated 3 out of 5 It's OK
by D. Engel from Maryland, 2010-01-29


The camera was pretty easy to set up and get working on my network. It does make it easy to pull the feed directly from the camera rather than rely on a browser to view. I also set RTSP up and can view the feed via my cell phone. All that is great. The downsides are that I was only getting about 10fps at 320x240, at best. Tight now, it is down to about 3fps and I need to investigate. The PTZ is extremely noisy. It is somewhat cheaply made for a $250 camera. The wireless range is pathetic. It is directly under my Linksys WRT54G router, one floor down, and I had to tweak the position and antennas to get signal. I think this is common with anything Linksys. I have a Linksys WVC54GCA which I cannot even use in my living room unless I wire it. I also have to power cycle it about every 2 weeks, or it gets buggy.

I have no opinion on the included software, since it has yet to be opened.

Overall, I like it better than the WVC54GCA, but I should, at 2 1/2 times the price.



rated 4 out of 5 great camera, few problems common to most
by Gene from hartford,ct., 2009-03-22


I had the earlier version of the linksys video camera, the one that had a fixed lens. That one you could never get to work wirelessly period. The PTZ at least is doable - you can get it to work wirelessly with considerable effort setting up your router and the occasional reboot but bottomline these cameras at best are flaky when used wirelessly. And even if you can get them to work wirelessly it will be only after getting them to work wired for an extended period of time first. That said this camera when used wired is very reliable and I have been very happy - especially with the ability to remotely aim the lens which is something you will definitely want if you happened to work with the old fixed lens type.
