 Rock solid camera, questionable software December 9, 2007
Hardware: 5 stars for the price
The 5300W works great. Installed a week ago and have had no problems. Was easy to configure (even on with some custom network settings I have) and connect to network without problems. Has been working as expected (I wasn't expecting much, just a good picture with basic pan/tilt).
Cons: Wish the patrol would continue to cycle - it does not. Stops after one cycle.. and sometimes at different positions.
Software: 1 star for the price (because it installed and I was able to run it)
But my God! Who designed, and wrote this crud? Modifies video settings, takes over full screen, cannot minimize, looks like junk, non-intuitive interface, crashes system 1 out of 5 times -- yada yada. I can go on but will spare you. (I usually don't expect much from bundled software ever, but this one ranks with the worst.)
Summary: If you want a basic IP camera that is easy to install and works well, then go for it. Just ignore the bundled software and go with a third-party package (like ReCam or the like).
Cheers
 1 Year + 2 days: R.I.P. August 4, 2005

After spending considerable time configuring, updating firmware, and deciphering manuals, I thought I was in the clear. Although the "wireless option" was, shall we say, "disappointing", the wired configuration was providing a great view of Lake Winnipesaukee from my office window (for MSIE users, that is; Firefox/Opera browsers are not supported) until 1 year and 2 days from date of purchase. The camera sensed the warranty expiration and is now completely dead (well, pan and tilt still work, but what's the point?). D-Link support suggested I buy a new one. I will. I found a nifty Panasonic camera that looks very promising. The 5300W goes in the bin with my previously-failed D-Link Router and D-link switch.
Good features. Poor quality for price July 6, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The features are great: emailing, pan and tilt, wireless, zooming, etc.
However, the image quality is probably one of the poorest image qualities i have ever seen with a camera that cost well over $400. Luckily, this was bought with company money and not my own. If i bought it personally, i would be pissed off.
 The Best Surveillance Camera on the Market May 18, 2005
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This camera has to be the best available option for office/home surveillance system on the market. I have 4 camera's at home and recommended them in the office, and now using 2. With my networking background, set up was less than 15 minutes. Loaded with features, this camera hasn't yet failed my needs. I able to watch the neighboors peak around my place and even look into windows. I highly recommend this camera. Price is high but once you get it running the product out weighs the price.
An Awesome Camera with Ro-Bitchen Features! April 29, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This thing is like a little robot eye. I can pan and tilt and digital zoom all from a web browser on my networked PC. The image quality is good, the wireless range is good, the features are quite robust, and it even looks good.
You can mount it upside down and have it flip the image it sees, thus still showing everything "right side up". The digital zoom was added with a firmware upgrade. The price is a little daunting, but if you are going to put it to good use I think you would enjoy this camera.
