Panasonic BL-C210A Internet Security Camera

Review: Does playing with this network camera for 3 days and here is my opinion: 1 Setup is simple. As long as your router supports DHCP, it’s only a matter of popping the setup CD and click on ‘Camera discovery “.2. Well-integrated software. I have a Panasonic BL-C111A network camera and both of them can separately in the same Page.3. need two Ethernet cables: one goes to your switch and it goes to the camera. Both combine a proprietary PoE Injektor.4. tons of features: motion trigger, time-trigger, upload pictures, to ftp, send images by e-mail, Remote Access, etc.Let ‘s talk about the image quality, since it is probably what most people are interested in learning. In short, if you have a camera for monitoring mission (location, to identify a thief, etc) need is probably not the camera. The sensor of the camera is only 1 / 4 “CMOS, which means it will be bad implementation in low-light situations. If you are looking for a camera for your business, then get a camera, sensor size of at least 1 / 3 have “, the cameras cost at least $ 400 or more. But then, for the basic monitoring, or use it as a gadget, think I should be ok sein.Vergleicht my older BL-C111A and this camera, I came to the conclusion they lead almost identical, ie suck in low light, decent in bright light conditions. For the BL-C210A but the entire image is sharper, but there are a lot of “mosquito” noise. My older BL-C111A has a softer image, but with much less noise. It really depends on your preferences, I find the “mosquito” noise disturbing, although the picture sharper maintained.A Another thing is, they apply this camera capable of 30fps at 640×480. This is another one of those advertising gimmicks. The camera image looks best when they are 320×240. In 640×480 mode, they simply extrapolate to enlarge them or by 320×240, so the noise even more in 640×480 mode. They are no more details in 640×480 mode, as in 320×240. But once again, to a $ 130 (or $ 180) camera, this is expected. If you have more details in your images, then a 1 / 3 “sensor Kamera.Zusammenfassend I think (only my IMHO) not the picture quality of camera is better or worse than generic Chinese IP camera may have to get on ebay (they use all 1 / 4 “CMOS sensor). However, gains in terms of support to Panasonic and the software features / quality. I would be a 3rd this camera 5 stars for the picture quality and a 4 stars for the value. Rating: 4 / 5
