I wonder the quality too. I know one thing is that I am tired of the damn popups for them. :angry:


I did get the firecracker set from them. That is the wireless pack. One controler, one lamp module and one appliance module. This product is pretty nice. I use it on a regular basis.

Word is that their other stuff is cool, but the cameras SUCK. I'd still try to find a review on one, but I mean, anything that small can't be that great...can it?

I have heard they suck and the demo at Fry's wasn't all that impressive. Besides they use pop-up adds, you shouldn't buy from them.

you guys gotta make sure the capture aperature is CCD and not the slow CMOS type........CCD is 10x better than CMOS...

Just ordered the 4 cam set up for the house.

It comes with a 30 day moneyback guarantee.

I'll keep you all posted.

Ok got the set up.

Installed 2 of the 4 cams. Not bad for the size and the money.

As with any cam the lighting is the key.

I have to play with the positions and see how good I can get them.

Nice thing is I got the webview software with it and I can watch the house from work.

A major plus is the firecracker set up, it lets you control X10 switches over the web. I'm driving my wife nuts right now she can't figure out why the light keeps going on and off. I should have set up a cam in the living room so I could see the look on her face. :)
