jmendes Said: Did not work. ( Aug. 10th 2010 )
All I can say is that it took me several hours to get this camera working and, then, once it started to work, it kept dropping its the wireless connection, requiring a re-boot. Needless to say, I returned it and purchased a Foscam IP camera that works fine.
fabz Said: Stay away from the Trendnet TV-IP121W ( May. 27th 2010 )
I bought this camera about a month ago. I faced the same problem than another user wrote in his review. I just couldn't configure the camera and it gets really really hot, so I first opened a service ticket with Trendnet and the only thing they kept saying was to set up an static IP to setup the camera , so i did, but the camera wouldn't appear in my browser to continue the configuration. So I returned the camera to the shop where I bought it, but I couldn't get a refund, so I got... ANOTHER CAMERA! So tried to give it a second try, and a faced the same problem, it gets very hot, wouldn't work wirelessly and now it doesn't work wired.
Save yourself the 150 USD the Trendnet TV-IP121W costs and find a better option.
czqsbp Said: Poor software and hardware. ( Apr. 16th 2010 )
The software did not down load correctly after several attempts and the chip in the wireless camera unit got very hot and did not work after about an hour of trying to set up the computer/camera wireless connection. Eventually a combination of poor software and poorly engineered hardware crashed my computer. I returned the item, it was totally useless.
N. Heath Said: Setup was easy, camera works great, no real complaints! ( Apr. 12th 2010 )
Here is the short review:
PROS: Night mode works great, setup was easy, wall mount included, LEDs can be disabled
CONS: Only IE supported (officially), the infrared LEDs can be seen in a dark room
I bought this camera for use as a baby monitor for my daughter. I mounted it on the wall next to her crib, although I didn't use the permanent anchors included - rather used 3M stickys which I can remove easily. The setup was pretty painless; some have reported issues in this department with Trendnet cameras but I did not experience anything out of the ordinary. Even the wireless setup went as planned (please people, follow the directions and set it up with the wired port first!). The camera works great as we can view my daughter via a PC in the bedroom hooked up to the TV. I especially like the feature that allows you to disable the power and network LEDs. This is nice for a dark bedroom. But, I was disappointed to discover that the infrared LEDs still throw a little visible red light in the dark. You can easily see the semi-circle of LEDs with the lights out and although its not bright, it does provide something for the baby to see and be aware of. Occasionally when she wakes up I swear she looks straight into that red circle! Maybe not an issue but I would have preferred for those to be invisible. The other minor issue I have is only supported IE, but I knew this ahead of time so won't spend any more time discussing (see update II).
Update: When I wrote my initial review I complained about having to reboot the camera every day. But, I haven't had to reboot the camera to get it working lately. I can't explain this, perhaps there were wireless issues when I was having difficulties. Either way, the camera made a liar out of me :). So far so good.
Update II: I decided to remove the CON regarding having to reboot daily since the camera has been working fine without reboot for many weeks. The best thing I can think of is that perhaps I was just having network issues. I can't blame the camera so I'm clearing its name :-). I also wanted to add something I discovered tonight, that the camera actually does work in FireFox! It uses a java plugin apparently. I double checked the specs and this is not listed as being supported so perhaps its not supported. I have done very little with it and Firefox so maybe i'll find something negative later but was happy/surprised to see the support there!
Marshall D. Hinsley Said: Nice little camera ( Dec. 7th 2009 )
This IP camera was easy to set up and takes a decent shot, both in bright light and in the dark. The user interface via a web browser is also easy to set up to send images to a server via email and/or ftp. I especially appreciate Trend Net's support manual and CD -- all easy to read and follow step by step.
Mac users must note that setting up the motion detector requires Active X in Internet Explorer - in any other browser, users will get this message: "This function is only avaiable [sic] in Windows Internet Explorer." Yes, Trend Net did not proof read its own error messages!
