INSTAR IN-3011 wireless network camera for indoor use (10 LED infrared night vision, Integrated microphone and speaker) black (Camera)

Customer Review

Since a few days now I have the camera in use and am quite happy on the whole. However, the device has some reserves and could be one or the other still improve. For example is the Firefox not the full range of functions available. With ActivX needed for recording and transmitting audio for the IE. That's my opinion, a minus value, since you can not install anywhere ActivX (at work for example).
The image quality is mediocre and quite actually upgradeable for the price. The camera offers innately no video compression. For additional software from the manufacturer is required, which is chargeable. This is another drawback.

Another positive note is supplied with the camera. It is next to the power supply and the CD also a wall bracket and a LAN cable.
Also positive is the fixed Internet address of the action. This is the camera without Dyndns anytime anywhere and they are just saves the account with a provider such as DynDNS. Furthermore, the night vision function for an IP camera is quite good. By IR LEDs can be seen all very well in the dark.

Negative points:
- The mediocre image quality in daylight
- Full functionality only in the IE
- Lack of video compression when shooting via the web interface
- Control of the camera via the Internet in places a bit sluggish

+ For a fixed Internet address (it should be in all devices, saves a lot of effort)
+ Good night vision function
+ Delivery (wall mount, LAN cable)
+ There are a manufacturers own forum, where all the open questions can be clarified. In addition, you can make suggestions and discuss with other users
+ MultiView, there may be several instar cameras are controlled by the interface a camera
+ Alarm function via e-mail is very reliable (pictures are hung on the mail)
+ WLAN very stable and reliable - reach as far as I was able to test quite well

All in all, the camera well. There are still some reserves that the manufacturer perhaps even ausreizt accordingly by updates. Who wants to see from the road, out of the office, which the pets so exaggerating when they are alone, is well served with this camera. The manufacturer also makes a service-oriented impression. The employees of the Hotline are friendly and strive to in case of problems, just as open questions in the forum by the moderator will be answered very quickly.
There are certainly cheaper alternatives to the Instar Cam with the same or similar technical facilities, but who sets great store by service and help in case of problems, should remain at the Instar camera.
