What GadgetsBoy liked about it
It was easy to install and configure, all I had to do was insert disc and follow simple step by step instructions. Once configured I also found it easy to go through the options and set up some more options like turning the LED light off to prevent anyone noticing when the can is functional. In the settings area I also switched on the wireless mode. Inside the box you also get a mounting kit, so you don’t have to worry about spending any extras. I also downloaded the Edimax IP cam viewer app for my iPad 2 and it was brilliant to be able to watch live from handheld device.
What GadgetsBoy did’t like about it
The quality of the live display was lacking but still good enough to see what’s happening since the whole point is so that you could see what’s going on live. I was hoping they could possibly design so that there’s a switch to flick between wireless mode and wired mode. The Edimax IP camera software does not support MAC, however once configured using a Windows system, you can still enter the IP address on your MAC in order to view image or configure your IP Camera.
