I have more than 2 years of service to the heater in the basement (USB has) to monitor via's network. Trouble-free operation under Windows XP, 7, 8, no failures or faults so far. When connecting to the external device although there is an indication that the unit may not work, but the connection works flawlessly and continued operation as well. If you wanted to complain about, then possibly in setting up the network interface; My server came with a pre-set fixed IP address, of course, not suitable for my LAN configuration. So you have, for example. short set up another computer so that you can connect to the server, then you can there via the web front end DHCP or an appropriate fixed address set, and then you're already through. So nothing for bloody layman, but the Oberfuzzi one must also not be. Have now even a second in use, with a simple USB Cam. Resolution 800 * 600 is, more not tried it yet.
