I got this to monitor my hallway in an apartment building for extra security(I don't live in the greatest neighborhood). It's is sitting quite a ways from my router, and the signal has to penetrate a total of three walls in the process. The pic returned to my computer is decent, clear and with a wide enough angle to allow me to see whats going on outside my door pretty well.Getting that signal requires a bit of knowledge about router settings and how to access them, though, so keep that in mind when buying this. All of these IP cameras require you have some experience with that, not just this one, so I'm not going to hold anything against this for that. The included software is basic at best, but it does allow you to capture and record video with little fuss, so at least it's good enough for what I bought it for.The only real problem I'm seeing is the signal does drop a lot, causing a lot of skipping in my recordings, it does reset itself each time it does this, so at least it's still usable. All told, for the price, I got exactly what I paid for, nothing more, nothing less, and that makes me recommend this one.  Read Less
