*** Image Quality ***
With 640x480 Cam for me and for the intended use dissolves high enough. Due to the night vision functionality, the colors during the day, however, be shown distorted. A black sweater looks in the pictures purple. The one could counteract with a correspondingly different lens. The manufacturer offers here at various alternatives, which I find truly amazing in this price range. A liquid image should not be expected.
*** Facilities ***
The device on the network was relatively problem-free. The first time the cam must be sprichen via power cord, after the award of a fixed internal IP address along with port forwarding on the router, the device is accessible on the network. Toll also that you can appeal to the Cam vonm externally without having to involve a third party service. Setting up email notification devoured unfortunately a lot of time. Although I am technically quite well versed and try to solve everything himself, but in the end only the call to the support brought a solution.
*** The email alert ***
For me, the key feature of the action. In alarm 6 small photos via email will be sent, have an impact on how many images are sent, you can not take. An e-mail has the 6 photos size of approximately 180kb, according to fall out of the images. Adequate the imagery is all and one should just are abroad, you should not let the roaming charges completely ignored.
*** The iPhone app (version 1.3.3) ***
Basically, the app already works, but unfortunately I have to report here on numerous and reproducible crashes that occur more frequently when you switch from the multi-view on the cam itself. The remote settings that you can make about the APP, are not just self-explanatory and only after reading the help comprehensible. In addition, there is no possibility of completely hide certain functions as the relay circuit, which just is not any need. There is still much room for improvement but the rudimentary functions are available. Should everything not help, you can turn even without APP with the Safari Browser on the Cam, but I would put in due time the appropriate link on the home screen.
*** Support ***
As described entering into, has helped me with my problem exemplary. Currently the shipment via the GMX SMTP e-mail server causes problems, so I had to use my Gmail address for the alarm function. This notice I got a few hours of my email that I sent to the support. Since the still not led to the goal, an employee from the support turned on my computer and found the cause of the default DNS server stored in the camera's configuration. My router was apparently the setting can not cope, which is why the e-mail delivery failed each time. Having also had solved this problem, everything went like clockwork. So seen a very nice support that you do not get anywhere in the IT landscape.
*** CONCLUSION ***
I would buy the Cam again. For the future, there will hopefully be a more stable app. With the firmware update in the past can be seen that the manufacturer (like AVM) has further bolstered the functionality and configuration options in retrospect and not only error correction operates, which I think is very positive.
