D-Link DCS-1000W review

Value for money


I now have 2 of the Wi-Fi versions -- at only £160 from Dabs, you can't beat it.

There are drawbacks though: the image quality could be better, and bright sunlight does swamp the image, so I will have to investigate the iris option mentioned.

The included Ipview software with motion detection works great. I use a standard PC to record these too, and as such has now become part of my home security.

If you're using this outside, then night time imaging requires a lot of light as the 2.5 lux sensitivity is on the low side, then I think you would end up paying 10 times this for any other camera.
