Product Review Summary: Does what I need

I am only using the DCS910 to upload stills to a web site for monitoring our dogs while at work. Does the job very well with no issues. Using Dynamic DNS I can log in and see real time video which is a bonus. Have never used the software so I can't speak to that but the camera is solid. Adding this review after I came back and ordered a second DCS910.

Product Review Summary: Camera okay - software & setup sucks

It took over 5 hours with "tech support" to get it working on my LAN. Many more hours and still cannot access it from a remote site.
Biggest problem is that the "techs" all have English as a 2nd language. I thought I was talking to someone in a 3rd world country until
I was told they were in Fountain Valley, CA.
I am very dissatisfied but ya know you get what ya pay for. I'm now shopping for one that will not be such a pain.

Product Review Summary: What they fail to tel you.

Thae camera works fine. the picture is decent and its ability to upload to an FTP site is excellent for keeping security pictures off site. The setup software, while nothing to brag about, does what it is supposed to.

Now, for the "gotcha". D-Link fails to mention that its D-ViewCam administrator software which is needed to store the live output to a hard drive, will not work on either XP or Vista 64 bit operating systems. It weill only work on 32 bit operating systems. I'd have given this product 5 stars if it hadn't been for their failure to provide that piece of necessary information.

Product Review Summary: Ok camera but HORRIBLE software

I spent hours trying to get this camera to work reliably with the included software, and it is simply too buggy. This is beta-grade software. I installed it on a dell pc with a fresh install of XP Pro. The computer is well above the minimum standards required. There is not one bit of other software installed on this PC, including antivirus. I can get to the camera through a web browser just fine, and the picture is pretty good for this price point. However, when trying to add the camera to the Dlink viewer application (where you can supposedly manage up to 32 cameras), I give this software an epic FAIL. At first, it would not discover the camera at all, even though the other software setup wizard that came with it found it just fine. I found out through digging through the forums that you cannot set a password on the camera, even though the instructions say you can. I then got the viewer software to pick up the camera, but not reliably. It frequently "lost video". All in all, it was a giant waste of time. The hardware is pretty good for the price point, but the software ruins it completely. My advice is to look elsewhere, unless you just want to view live video in a web browser, which works fine. I am returning the 3 I bought.

Product Review Summary: Not the clearest picture but it works

I got this camera. It does not have the clearest picture.

The camera looks like it is about to tilt over because of the design. Especially when you have two cables on the back.

It work for me. Never a disconnect. Maybe its because I have a router with 3rd party software.
