TRENDnet Wireless PTZ IP Camera Old Version TV-IP662WI

The night vision works pretty well but where have it mounted is shady and anything it captures in the daytime is too dark to get any details. I bought this because I was robbed while at a Dr. appt in the afternoon. This would not have been at all helpful because I would not have been able to make out the features of the robbers. Also, I'm having trouble figuring out how to access it from the internet if I'm away from home and haven't been able to get it to work. I called tech support and the agent's english was so bad I couldn't understand him. And before he even had a grasp of what i wanted he said they were having high call volume and someone would call me back and hung up. 4 hours later I got a call from someone who was even harder to understand than the first dude. I told him I'd get it on my own and this time I hung up on them. Furthermore, I could not get it to connect to the wireless from 20 feet away with a brand new TrendNet router that is one of the best routers I've owned so far. It does have to go through 1 interior wall and a brick exterior wall but my phones and tablets don't have any problem connecting in the same area. Would not buy another or recommend to anybody else.

Reasonable functions for the price. BUT: I automatically recycle my remote router and modem daily. Randomly my camera stops functioning after the router recycles "off" then "on". This camera has a direct line-of-sight to the router. They are about 15 feet apart. Other models further from the router (not in line-of-sight) are not affected. "Workaround" to my problem: In different locations I use the TP-LINK "HS100" to remotely turn the power supply off/on to different devices. The "app" that remotely communicates with my "HS100's" is "Kasa". When the camera unexpectedly shuts-down, I successfully restart it using "Kasa" and a "HS100".NOTE however: this is NOT-NOT an inexpensive solution !

I've been trying to get this camera set up for a little over 4 weeks. The initial install of both the camera software and the server software went fine. The instructions included were absolutely awful but full instructions for both were available online. The real issue is that sitting in my own living room with the camera running so that I can look into my kitchen is not really the reason I bought the camera. The primary reason I bought it was to keep an eye on my house when I'm away and so far I have been unsuccessful in accomplishing this task. Lest you think this is the post of a nontechnical person. I am a programmer for a living, which of course does not make me a networking expert, nor do I claim to be. However I work with several network engineers and also others who are broadcast professionals and yet I have still come up short after involving these very knowledgeable resources. This is truly disappointing as this camera had me very excited when I first purchased.

I have a Mac. I followed the instructions, which seem to be straight forward. The camera would work OK in the initial setup mode while connected directly to the router with RJ 45 cable. But when the setup program said to disconnect the cable and place the camera where I wanted it (Didn't want it on a six foot Ethernet cable tied to my computer. This camera is supposed to work on WiFi. Mine would not.Tried all sorts of WiFi by using IP address of the camera coup[led with the IP address of the router, etc. Always the same result. Refusal to work on WiFi unless on a cable, which of course is not WiFi. Used the Trendnet Utility for Mac and dug into the innards with passwords etc. Still no WiFi connection. Returned camera to Amazon. Also was online with a diligent tech support rep, but a after two hours not WiFi results.Maybe this camera as good as it performs as a dongle to your computer needs some revised programing.

BEWARE!!!!!Recieved this product and imediately attempted to set up using the install software provided. The software would not allow me to proceed with set up process past a location 2-3 steps from the beginning. iIcalled their tech support # and spoke to a lady with a VERY pronouced accent. She was very difficult to understand and directed me thru 3 attempts to install the camera- 45 minutes . No luck and I ran out of time. After a week or so I had an hour of time on my hands so I attempted a second time to get tech support - same accent, same results. I am of average technical knowlege and ability- can install software and run my home computor.This is either junk or way to technical for the average person. The software did not work! The tech support person speaks little english. In my opioion- not worth the trouble. Unfortunatley i waited too long to return trusting the tech support people could get me thru--I 'm stuck with this 125.00 junk.

This camera does what it is supposed to do. Images are of low quality, just like the low price. You get what you pay for, although in 2016 it should be better. For my purpose, it works fine. Lots of room for improvement, though, both for the camera itself and the software pieces you use with it (not all of which are necessarily TrendNet).

All I can say is WOW! I have been using Trendnet cameras for awhile and this camera is a big improvement. Great picture and the night vision has been greatly improved. Only thing I would mention is the night vision lights can be seen when turned up to full intensity, but with full intensity you get a great picture at night. Installation was easy, but I'm a computer expert and I've been using the Trendnet products. Works great on my Android phone, using aftermarket and Trendnet viewing apps.

TRENDnet no longer supports Linux in addition to the previous post that it no longer supports Mac. Horrible business decision. This was my 5th TRENDnet camera and will be my last. Someone posted in the Q&A section they got it to work by installing ie tab in Chrome but that does not work either. ie tab clearly states it only runs in the Windows version of Chrome so not sure what that guy was thinking.

Pour répondre à certains commentaires, oui, a priori l'appli téléphone ne marche qu'en wifi si on s'en tient aux instructions d'installation. Il faut s'y connaitre pour dévier la connexion de la box vers le téléphoneidem si on n'est pas chez Fr**, pas d'ip fixe donc rebidouille pour en obtenir une... sinon on est bon pour se demander chaque matin si notre adresse ip n'aurait pas changé (et si c'est le cas, et qu'on ne l'a pas répercutée sur le téléphone, on n'arrive à nouveau plus à se connecter)une belle galère pour tout installer et paramétrer, mais au final, avec l'aide de qn qui s'y connait en réseau, on y arriveles alertes email fonctionnentIl me reste encore à paramétrer la patrouille pour que la caméra balaie la maison et savoir désactiver les alertes simplement qd je suis rentrée chez moi sinon je me spamme :-) en attendant je l'éteins... au risque d'oublier de la rallumer comme c'est le cas ce matin!et pour bouger la caméra à distance, c'est tout de même plus agréable d'avoir la 4G sinon, faut être patient...A savoir aussi que la carte SD n'est pas vraiment utile si on ne compte pas filmer en continu et si on demande au téléphone de prendre une photo, ça arrive sur la mémoire du téléphone, donc achat inutile pour ma part.

Achetée essentiellement pour surveiller ma maison durant mes absences, elle fonctionne à merveille.Installer en 15 minutes, reconnue en natif par mon NAS synology, elle se met à enregistrer sur mon NAS dès qu'on mouvement apparait.J'ai aussi utiliser l'appli sur Android donné par Synology et celle offerte par Trendnet, les deux fonctionnent très bien, le moteur s'active, la sensibilité est bonne, le mode nuit est nickel aussi, bref aucun soucis.Je recommande.

El hardware cumple con creces.Para que me funcione en Windows 10 he tenido que actualizar el firmware de la cámara, ya que el certificado que trae está revocado.Al estar el certificado revocado da muchos problemas para que funcione bien al servidor web integrado.Además actualmente (febrero 2016) sólo funciona bien con Internet Explorer 11. No funciona bien con chrome y otros navegadores.Una vez actualizado el firmware y usando IE 11 funciona muy bien.

Quasiment inutilisable tant la qualité de l'image est mauvaise, que ce soit via un NAS Synology ou en utilisant le soft Trendnet.La seule question que je me pose après 3 ans est "pourquoi est-ce que je ne l'ai pas renvoyée pendant qu'il était encore temps"
