 Best Home Security/Pet Watching Camera for your money April 28, 2007

Was looking for a camera to monitor my puppy at home, while I was at work. I was looking for a wireless network camera, so that I can use the camera for other reasons if needed around the house. I was told that the wireless versions were a bit more expensive, and with network cameras quality improves with higher priced cameras. After looking around, I initially tried the Panasonic BCL30 for about 3 weeks. I was initially impressed, but never got that crystal clear quality. I could see my puppy, and what she was doing, but it was never clear. Therefore I decided to return it and try the Axis brand. After all they have a reputation of being used in homes, stores, malls, hotels. But they also range from low end to very high end. The Axis 207MW is about $75 more than the panasonic, but the difference is breathtaking. The images are crisp, clear, and extremely detailed. Though it does not have the Pan/Scan feature of the panasonic, this camera was far an away better in terms of image quality. Setup was also easy. It does require a PC for initial setup. I have a Mac but was able to set it up using Parallels (mac users know this). I am planning to buy more of these cameras to set it around my house, for home security purposes. The quality is amazingly clear, and if someone does break in, then I will have a chance get a detailed shot of the intruder. The camera does have motion setup which can be setup to email snap shots of motion, or upload motion video to a server. The web interface is also a breeze. My family also watch my dog over the internet and also have made comments on how surprisingly clear the picture was. All in all, though a bit overpriced a great product, and I plan on buying a few more. To sum it up, the difference between this camera and the Panasonic BL C-30 is like AM Radio to CD.

The Axis 207MW is a very fine device: the optical quality is good, and the unusually high resolution gives a clear, broad field of view. The camera performs well in low light. It may have problems when the lighting contrast (exposure latitude) is too great; but I have encountered that only when trying to view outdoors scenes at certain times of day. This camera can be used through a window, but it is really meant for indoor use. The instructions say that direct sunlight will damage the sensor, so for outdoor scenes, one should arrange for a window with a north view.
The Axis cameras are the most suitable ones for Mac users. The 207 series is compatible with Bonjour, which means that the camera will instantly work on your LAN. Following directions, hook up with Cat5/6 cable, go to Safari, and open Bonjour. From there you can make all the necessary set-up adjustments, including for wireless local and Internet use. I have both my Axis 207AWs programmed to be accessible remotely over the Internet. That requires access to the router for port-forwarding, but the Axis side of the set-up is easy, the directions are good, and the tech support is excellent. Use is comfortable, and the set-up options very clear yet versatile, when compared with other cameras I have used.
I regard the Axis 207MW as a high quality product, outclassing its competition.
 Wireless camera did not work June 29, 2008

I purchased this camera because of its supposed wireless capabilities. The camera worked okay when the RJ45 Ethernet wire was connected to the camera, but when I disconnected the wire and tried to use the camera wirelessly, it never worked. I corresponded with tech support at Axis for two weeks. After about 12 emails back and forth attempting to get the thing to work, I gave up and returned the camera.
All of my wireless computers worked perfectly. My Tivo wireless adapter worked. My iPhone works wirelessly. I have six wireless devices connected to my home LAN, and they all work perfectly. Not so for this Axis wireless camera.
If you are looking for a wireless camera that works, look somewhere else. This one doesn't work.
An absolutely amazing little camera... March 1, 2008
Gary T. Duvall (Chicago, IL)
The Axis 207MW is well worth the price, in my opinion. While it may lack the PTZ options of higher-end options such as the Axis 213 and offerings from Panasonic, the crisp resolution, size, and MPEG-4/audio support make it the perfect wireless network camera for those looking at a home and small business solution. Take into account its easy setup and plentiful viewing options, and you'll find it very hard to beat for the quality and money.
If you're looking for a megapixel outdoor camera--especially one featuring two-way audio and interchangeable C-mount lenses, without care about wireless capability--you might want to look at the Axis 211M. It's the only non-dome camera offered by Axis that comes close to the 207MW.
For everyone else, however, this camera will serve you quite well.
Works as described, read the reviews before purchasing. July 14, 2008
Steven R. Hatfield (Charlotte, NC)
Works as described, very easy to set up and use. Great full light picture, terrible low light picture, but that was written in several of the reviews when I purchased the product, so I expected it. It would have been great if it had pan/tilt/zoom, but it doesn't, and the only cameras that I could find that have those features are much more expensive. It is what it is, I guess.
All in all, it's a great security camera for the money. I plan on putting up several of them around my house.
Here is a suggestion to purchasers of this camera: Get a 7 lb 3M removable hook that has the "sticky tape", and use the tape to mount the camera. That way you don't have to put holes in your walls, and you can move the camera to a different location at any time.
