Product Description

The camera's built-in sensor is a pyroelectric infrared sensor, which means it uses infrared rays to detect temperature differences within its range that are emitted naturally by people, animals, etc. The sensor can be used to trigger the camera to buffer (i.e., temporarily store) camera images in its memory. You can view these images later as desired. The sensor can also be used to trigger the camera to transfer images to someone or somewhere, by FTP, E-mail, or HTTP. Privacy mode allows you to protect your privacy by hiding the lens inside the camera, preventing camera images from being seen. If users are accessing the camera when privacy mode is turned on, the camera image area displayed in their web browsers turns gray. No camera pages can be accessed by users while privacy mode is turned on. Once privacy mode is turned off, users can press the refresh button in their web browsers to view images again.

Summary: great camera as long as you don't activate privacy mode
Comment: I just wanted to add one bit of information that folks may find useful with regard to this network camera (and the wireless version BL-C131A). I agree with the majority of other reviews here that for the price, this is a great network camera, and the Panasonic customer service is terrific! Once set up, the camera has stayed reliably up and running *as long as you do NOT activate the privacy mode*. This may be an issue with my particular router/ISP (I am on AT&T DSL with a 2Wire brand router), but I find that whenever I activate privacy mode for more than a few minutes, it seems to cause my network to hang up and I can only clear it by resetting the router. This is the only reason I give the product 4 stars instead of 5, otherwise I love this camera for the price. Hopefully Panasonic will fix the lock-up problem in a future firmware update.

Summary: works fabulously most of the time - may be a router issue
Comment: I love having these cameras. They were easy to set up and work well almost all of the time. I believe the problem may be my router and not the cameras but I have had to reset the cameras and reset them up a few times over the last several months. Not a huge deal as it is easy but I would prefer that everything work perfectly all the time!

Summary: Disappointed ***AMENDED**- please read
Comment: I bought this camera for one reason only; to allow my family back home in Canada to view my wedding here in Texas. After setting it up and testing it a few days before, I was a little worried because it froze up quite often. Sure enough, when the big moment rolled around, the camera locked up and my family was unable to view the wedding. Thanks, Panasonic. $160 down the drain.

**************************** AMENDED ***********************************
Ok, not so disappointed now... I feel compelled to amend my previous review/comment about this camera and apologize to Panasonic. After some more research into my problem, I discovered the fault was not with the camera but with my Linksys wireless router. I have since purchased another router and the camera works perfectly. It has been running for many days straight and I have no problems to report.

Summary: very cool - kind of expensive
Comment: I would recommend this camera. It has been very reliable and even works when I view it with my smart cell phone.

The only problem is it is a little expensive.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great product, great support for DIY hackers
Comment: Panasonic has done a great job with their products. I've got 3 BL-C1A cameras and recently added my first BL-C111A camera for some remote monitoring. The BL-C111A camera seems to be based on a new controller platform that's noticeably quicker than the older cameras and support MPEG video encoding. They've got a complete documentation available to completely control the camera for your own applications if you want something fancier than just their capable web interface. This is great for integrating into home automation and security applications, especially since the camera can detect motion and signal a bunch of different ways.

I'm so pleased with this camera, I just got a couple more!

The only thing lacking here that I'd like to have is the ability to deliver power over the ethernet cable to make cabling a bit neater for some installs.
