why buy this? and pay for service... estarling will pull from flicker etc.. http://www.thinkgeek.com/electronics/cameras/7edc/

Because the estarling has horrible resolution and pictures looks like crap on it. You don't have to pay for the service if you don't want it, the frame works without it.

Too bad the eStarling 7" resolution is only 480x270. My Timex Ironman watch has a better resolution than that.Also, the frame only seems to support .JPGs and the widescreen format doesn't seem to be 4x6.Why can't Philips make a frame that has wireless, or even wired, network support? I'd love to have a Flickr stream, but the DPFs with the good LCD panels don't have wireless, and the ones with wireless (eStarling, and others) have terrible LCDs.

FYI -- estarling makes a much better 8" screen with 800x600 nowadays. The wireless setup is still sub-par, but it seems they all still are. The online service is free, and is pretty decent. I have zero complaints. The new version really does have one of the best screens I've seen, and I saw the old 7" one, which was amazingly horrible.

I don't have the same camera. My camera was purchased for HD night recording only and has to have an infrared light in order to use in the dark. The camera works with it in any setting it has. If your camera has a night vision mode that is what would probably work the best. I wish I could be more help to you.

I am having the same problem...in fact, I just went back and reread some of the reviews, because I can't believe I am the only one who is experiencing this. Everyone raves about this camera! I, too, would like to know what I am doing wrong.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

I have had these for years and to be honest they are bottom of the line cameras. I'd suggest going to E-Bay and just put security cams in for a search and see if you cant find some better camera's for the same money. Walmart sells a 4 pack with a digital recorder that works on motion and I think it is made by Swann which I feel is a step up form the Astak cameras. But look around on the net, read the reviews and go form there. Arkansawhillbilly2002 in yahoooey!

Just got D- Lux5 used, from Leica blog it is considered better camera. Better pic quality etc. Considered a magic camera by some. Don't upgrade firmware to version 2. Many feel the version 1 is better. Google to read threads.

Funny thing, I didn't use BlueIris...at all. Was able to install all (3) F18910W cameras, 1 at a time. Perhaps you need BlueIris if you want to blow $40 like the others here. Otherwise watch the instructional video that is included with the cam. Then install the cams with the SOFTWARE it was SHIPPED WITH. Done. $40 in your pocket. Download the prefered app on your phone and transfer the HTTP, Port, username & password. (Or just spend $40 and watch your money go down the drain...your call)

worked fine for me ,,, be sure you have power to both moniter and camera ,, ALSO please note the color quality is horrid , no green at all black and white would be better , , thay sent me another camera , same problem ,, ,, If power OK try video cable to monitor could be low signal strenth.

I've found the WASCAM to be quite reliable. I actually bought 3 , the night vision didn't work on one so I returned it but since then I've had no issues.

Hi Joel, i re-read what other people say about this cam..pls read Vance Marshall's comments too, it sums up what poorly it does. the touch screen is not as responsive. it doesn't function in indoor low lighting..its program robot kept focusing in low light, in fact won't do the job afterall. i didnt return this cuz the hassle of returning + it's only a hundred bux..i tried it in well lit indoor, the resulting photo was grainy. i know what im talking about cuz i also own a D-90..this is only CUTE AND TINY..is all..not for a real photographer..i bought another coolpix before = S3000 cuz of Ashton Kutcher commercial..that sucked too! i gave it away..the only reason i kept buying Nikon is bc the big dslr's are good..aside from D90 i have a d5100.. this sounds ridiculous telling i have cameras..i am just comparing the cool pix to dslrs..hope this helps!

I am having the same experience. I guess I'd better return this camera. I mean, if it won't even turn on, what good is it? What a waste of time. My husband bought me a Vivitar pocket camcorder for Christmas, it works. I guess I'll just stick with that. After all...it works...kind of a basic requirement.

I have had nothing but problems with these particular cameras. I have purchased six of them and only one works at this time. I think flashing florescence or lighting at a distance burns them out.I would not recommend to purchase these types of cameras even though they look really cool.

I have this Bell and Howell and it goes in and out of focus almost constantly so I replaced it with a 1080p HD Infrared night vision/full spectrum camera and I am much happier with that camera. Go for the Full Spectrum. The one I bought does not have it's own IR light but I bought a good IR flood light and a light bar and they both work great together. Do not get the cheap IR light though unless you only want to see about 3 feet in front of you for only about 15 minutes as the battery dies quickly and a recharge takes 4 hours. Buy the one that takes a 9 volt battery it lasts much longer and if it dies you can easily just replace the battery.

I am no electrician.. so take this with a grain of salt. I took a small voltage adapter/ transformer to plug things into in 1993 (and the plug shapes are different in Europe compared to the US) So, it is not the camera as much as the plug/transformer. The camera would be great for a European trip. I would look on travel websites to ask the question.. which is good one... ?AAA or Rick Steve,

I really don't now, but if this comment helps you, listen, now I'm buying Foscam cameras, they are cheaper than Trendnet and definitely yhey have better resolution. Think about it. I have one foscam cam and it works great. I bought two more now.
