| fireax's Full Review: Toshiba IK-WB11A Webcam |
I have a collection of wired and wireless web cameras hanging from various parts of my house. This camera has the clearest, sharpest picture PERIOD! It sees in the dark! With the slow shutter mode engaged it only updates the frame once a minute or so, but it's full color 1280x960! If you want to see in the dark at 15fps, then turn the slow shutter mode off and you get grainy black & white, but you can see everything.
As others have mentioned, the user interface stinks out loud. Only the administrator and use presets and the email alarm mode doesn't seem to work at all. I don't know if Toshiba intends to improve the software, but if they support this camera they can own the market. It beats the snot out of the more expensive Panasonic PSTV02J (which I'll sell to anyone who wants a couple still in the box).
While this is a wireless B camera, the only way to utilize it to is fullest is to hardwire it to your network. 11mbps doesn't provide the bandwidth for a 1280x960 stream.
