See There When You Can't Be There™ - These cameras can be viewed and controlled from a standard Web browser, video display, or even a compatible cell phone or PDA1. Place them in your home, office, vacation home or almost anywhere else that you'd like to keep an eye on things, with no PC required on location!. They are easy to install and operate and require no additional software for the PC that you're viewing them on. Each camera also comes with a free Web address, which can track the camera automatically. All you need is a regular Web browser to view them on your PC, as all of the other required software, including control software (TCP/UDP) and e-mail software (SMTP), is already inside the camera.

Just Plug It In and Play - This network camera is truly easy to install and use in most cases. With industry standard automatic configuration (UPnP), the camera and your router or PC will automatically decide the best settings allowing you to access your camera without any complicated setup. Once connected, using a simple Web browser, just enter in your free, permanent Web address which comes with the camera and you can see and move the camera! It's that simple.

5 of 5 Can't beat it for the Price Thursday, April 12, 2007
A Customer from Fairfax, VA  
The Panasonic BL-C1A is much better than I expected, especially for the price. Set up took about 10 minutes out of the box. The picture is good enough for home use. Motion can be a little jumpy, but overall I am very happy. So much so I bought three for around the house. Easy access from any computer with internet access which is great. If you need super clarity and absolute real-time motion, this is not for you. But, if you just want to keep an eye on your house or business while away, this is a great camera for the price.

5 of 5 Very easy IP camera to use - and setup to access v Saturday, February 10, 2007
A Customer from NYC, NY  
I installed 4 of these cameras in a home and they all work very well and were very easy to setup. Pros: Affordable price (~$100), easy to install and setup, camera image is good, each camera has its own software embedded in the device so all you need to do is point a web browser to the camera's IP address and you can setup the camera to show all other Panasonic IP cameras on the same network, very easy and simple to setup to access via the internet! Cons: The cameras are not wide angle so you may need multiple cameras to get the full 'picture' of the room/area of coverage, the recording software that ships with the camera is limited to only 1 camera (I bought 4 and in order to use the Panasonic software, I had to pay $300 for the software...not really a fault of the camera...more with the way Panasonic priced its software).
