Hardware potential 5 star, LAN / WLAN integration 4 stars, instructions BLACK HOLE!

I had it to me so beautifully presented: I sit at home on your PC, type and click a few commands and already I can see how it looks in our house. Based on previous experience, but this will be a long way, if he succeeds Ã'berhaupt. Sequentially:

Scope of supply: ++, well packed, good camera with LAN cable, power supply with adapter plug, good arresting wall / ceiling mounting and even DÃ'bel and screws dafÃ'r. Then the search for a manual - nil. It is only when a mini-CD. And here is the first look at the black hole Installation: I have a computer unglÃ'cklicherweise with vertical CD / DVD drive. In there practicing a mini-CD requires a good pair of tweezers and nerves of steel in order to picking out again from the inside. Regardless, eventually succeeded and the contents were so visible only times viewed User Manual. The first shock: Red marked hörten the unterstÃ'tzten operating systems Windows 7 (32 bit!) On. This does not seem to be wrong, even with 64bit programs provided the results. So brave installed to tollkÃ'hn without any information in the order suggested that what was on the mini-CD: OPlayer ran through - probably any codecs installed. Then dutifully installed "IPCam ActiveX" and Grosser Schreck: all-captions of window elements, Knöpfen and the lyrics consist of cryptic characters. Bravely clicked the highlighted Knöpfe and continue to "P2P ID Finder" - here then dipped in fact a window in which you have to try to get the network parameters of computer and camera somehow compatible. This will not make it any easier, in that decisive Bedienungsknöpfe are not labeled, but provided with double question marks and different options (Auto, inner Access) are not exactly selbsterklÃ'rend. Only after much trial and error (in which neither the manual nor the FAQ a big help are) and no longer be reconstructed it happened that really on the video preview the camera image including BedienungsoberflÃ'che appeared when clicking. Wen's all set, you do not need special programs more, the normal ranges browser (Firefox under Linux): Type IP, see picture, and control camera.
And from here then makes it fun for a while. The camera provides a really good image (640 * 480) and moves almost silently via browser control in a 360 ° swivel horizontally and Ã'ber 90 ° from the zenith to below the horizon line. VerblÃ'ffend well the NachtsichtfÃ'higkeiten: Thanks IR LEDs there is also a clear picture in the dark - just in Grautönen. But these IR LEDs can be switched on by some BedienungsoberflÃ'chen from, for example, the Android tablet out. EVER the whole system works very differently well, depending on whether the camera and computer are connected by LAN, camera and computer through Wi-Fi or camera and tablet through WLAN. and switching between these modes work very unintuitive. An error analysis is difficult, since usually only something does not work and the FAQ are formulated some very missverstÃ'ndlich in bad English. Außerdem is very hidden noted that passwords not contain special characters dÃ'rfen - what dÃ'rfte be hÃ'ufig in integrating into existing wireless network a source of error. My suspicion is the fact that this also applies fÃ'r the network name, at least I have the camera Ã'ber WLAN only got it to work, as I have removed special characters from the name. In addition, since I have a special constellation (Linux system once directly an in-house LAN and also still at a coupled thereto Fi, tethering außerdem Ã'ber phone) I can not really contribute besides the installation guide instructions to spend a lot of patience, a appropriating sufficient basic knowledge and to follow the principle that controlling computer / tablet möglichst many parameters (Name, Gateway, IP range should have shared). And rather hÃ'ufiger unplug the AC adapter of the camera and plug it in again - also have no Reboot button found in the controller. Initialization but takes every good minute and only in the last 10 seconds, the camera starts moving. Takes some getting everything set up, the camera works very satisfactorily, there are no problems within the LAN, within the WLAN it hooks during parallel access by multiple GerÃ'te on the camera. And try the Internet, I mute my given the recent frustrations only times not - even if this is actually the core task.
