I just got my camera up and running, temporarily until the weather clears (read snow melts). Using a fixed IP address for the camera from the factory just seems a little dumb to me. Why DHCP couldn't be the default to make things easier to configure beats the heck out of me. Yeah, I know how to access and change it, but why have to jump through an unnecessary hoop?
The config tool, version 4, didn't work at all. I had to access the camera through the web interface to set the IP address to match my network scheme. I get a message from Norton that the plugin needed to view the live stream has malware in it. Not very impressed, so far with the software.
I added it to BI and it works fine. The video quality and color rendering are superb. Zoom works very nicely both from the console and from UI3. The build of the camera is quite good, all metal, and I love the use of a TORX screw rather than a typical hex. Overall, I'm quite happy other than the software problems.
Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to mount it outside and get an idea of real world performance.
@betacohesion - I've had BI running for over five years and have never experienced a crash of the software or machine that runs it.
