Good – apart from when it disconnects. . I purchased this to use as a home security camera – to watch the front of our house where the cars are parked. It does a fairly adequate job overall but i have had to go through quite a bit to get to the stage of being fairly satisfied with it. My choice of cameras was dictated by the fact that i want to use it with a synology server that i already have, the surveillance station software makes it easy to add and configure the camera as well as storing and reviewing the footage from it. Picture attached of the synology software. One of the attractions was that it can be used on a wifi network. Well, that’s the theory anyway. I have found it to be very unreliable when connected wirelessly and i’ve given it the very best opportunity to excel. For context, and for those who will ask, i have downloaded the latest firmware for the camera, i initially connected it via ethernet to configure it, i have given it a static ip address. I have used an ip address that is outside the (dhcp) range that can be automatically assigned by my router.
