Customer Review :
beautiful photograph on Internet Explorer - Difficult to set up on a Mac. Horrible Low light. : Panasonic BL-C210A Internet Security Camera
A year or so ago, we installed an Ademco burglar alarm which we found we could not hook up to a monitoring assistance because we had dropped our landline. There are services that will monitor your alarm theory through the cell phone network but they are expensive. So I decided to make a project out of this. I would find a way to monitor the alarm theory with zero net monthly cash outlays. I spent idle hours wondering how I might cobble together some homemade piece of equipment that can capture the alarm signal off the Ademco and fire a programmable event on one of our computers through a Usb port or something like that. Tricky stuff. Iffy.
Then I discovered the fact that this ip camera (as well as many others) have e-mailing functionality. After a exiguous study I bought a couple and they are now in service. I connected the bell circuit on my Ademco, through a relay switch, to one of the two open alarm circuits on the Panasonic and now whenever the Ademco sends an alarm, we receive an e-mail with an alarm message plus, as a bonus, a photo of what the camera is finding at the time. When we get the e-mail, we can go online either with a computer or our cell phone and see what is going on in the house. If the situation merits, we can then call the police or we can ask the neighbor to peek over. This is intelligent alarm monitoring as opposed to the automated kind you get when your alarm theory sends a signal to the monitoring middle point every time the theory is tripped for anything fancy (I read that practically all reports sent to the police by these systems are false and are placed on low priority). I am going to document this theory and send it to my insurance agent asking for a superior reduction in line with the approved reduction you get with automated monitoring. We have achieved our goal of a no-cost alarm proclamation system.
Two very good features of this unit are that you do not have to have a running computer to make it work and it receives its power over the ethernet cable. As long as your run is less than 98 feet, you can snake cable through your walls to your heart's content without worrying about how you will power the camera.
Since this camera has, in increasing to its potential to take a signal from your burglar alarm, its own internal motion-heat-sound detectors, you could also use it as a sort of burglar alarm all by itself. But it does not have the potential to act as a perimeter alarm as would be the case if you have an alarm theory with door and/or window sensors. And it does not turn on sirens to 1.) wake you up, 2.) scare the intruders away or 3.) if they are not scared away, heighten the level of insanity that is already going on in their minds.
Like the others, I find that the camera does not achieve well in low light. But I have several lamps in our home that are hooked up to X-10 switches. These X-10s are programmed through the burglar alarm to turn on when the alarm goes off. I have not tested them with the camera yet but I am hoping that they will supply enough light to let us see what is going on in the event of an alarm.
There is one glaring vulnerability in all of this: your camera gives you proclamation and optical entrance through the internet; your house connects to the internet through a wire; burglars know how to snip a wire with a wire cutters and the more experienced burglars are going to do this before they effort to break in. I circumvented this problem by changing my Isp. My new Isp connects the internet to my house wirelessly and that fixes that. If you do not have the wireless option, however, this issue needs to be addressed. Many alarm systems now can be fitted with an auxiliary backup gismo that calls you and/or the police through the cell phone network if your wire is cut. They cost extra both for the equipment and the ongoing use of the cell phone network.
We got a lot of value for our money here. It proved to be an elegant explication to our problem and added many more features to boot. I love gadgets and my heart sings whenever I see it up in the corner of my living room ceiling with its lights blinking down on me. What other people might think is 'beyond the scope of this review'.
On Panasonic Support: I'm not going to lower the rating on this camera because I think it is a fine product. But I will say that Panasonic reserve falls far short of the mark. In trying to get the camera viewable over the internet, I talked to 4 separate representatives each of whom offered a separate explication all of which were wrong. I wrote them a letter a week ago with no reply so far. So I did what I should have initially done which is to learn a exiguous networking, specifically port forwarding. After my study and armed with some actual knowledge, I set up the cameras properly and they are now humming along. I can reputation the reviewer who praised Panasonic support. However, that was not my experience. All these people had to do was to ask the right questions and then tell me what to do to configure the theory properly. It took me, an amateur, a couple of hours to shape it out on my own and yet all four of these professionals failed to come up with the precise solution. And yes, I am fully aware that this is partly a supervene of a lack of committment on the part of management and not entirely the fault of the private on the other end of the phone. 1-14-2011 Update: Yesterday, I came over a puzzling issue having to do with sending sensor messages from the camera to our Panasonic Viera Tv. Since I already know how good they are at fielding reserve requests over the telephone and through the postal service, I view it might be intelligent to send them an e-mail message via their website. The model of the camera was stated in the e-mail by way of the e-mail setup fields and I gave the model of the Tv in the body of the e-mail. Later that day, I received this reply which I quote in full: 'Thank you for your inquiry. What is the model # to your cameras? If you have any additonal questions or concerns, please taste our technical reserve hotline at [...]. Thank you for choosing Panasonic.' supplementary questions indeed.
Setup Note: If your network sits behind two in-line routers (one connected directly to the internet through the phone or cable Tv wires, the 'outside' router; the other sitting between the covering router and the Lan: the 'inside' router) and you are having a hard time of it, identify both the communal and hidden Ip address of the inside router. Do a exiguous googling to get yourself squared away on what the communal and hidden Ip addresses of a router are. Then, when you are setting up port forwarding on the covering router, you need to forward requests to the communal not the hidden Ip address of the inside router. Then use the hidden Ip address of the inside router as the Default Gateway in your camera settings. There are other pitfalls but this singular one was my mine.
