Great device, I'm able to run my IP cameras remotely. The cameras plugged into the PoE switch, a single cat5 cable to the NVR. Eliminating all those cables behind the recorder.

I have some web cams in a remote location served by DSL.  Being able to keep an eye on my property there while I am gone is very reassuring - until the connection drops for some reason.  The location is quite remote, thus I can't get to it very easily, and it's not practical to have someone else go there to reset the connection.  In the past, my cams have thus just gone dark until I can get out there to address the problem, which has always been fixed by simply rebooting the DSL modem.

I had looked and looked for (and purchased) several different types of items in an attempt to address this problem, and was delighted to find this simple device which is *perfect* for my needs.

During the installation process (which was very simple), I thoroughly tested the device by going through a number of scenarios repeatedly, to ensure that this device really was going to do what it is supposed to, which is to drop the power on each of the 2 outlets for a short time when it detects a lack of internet connectivity.  With the DSL modem plugged into one of the outlets, this recycles the modem and restores the connection.  It has a configurable list of popular web sites that it pings periodically to determine if it is still connected to the internet.  During my testing, I found that the device was not very quick to jump to any conclusions, which is exactly what I wanted, to prevent false alerts.

Now several months after I set it up, my cams are all still online.  Fingers crossed that they stay that way.

All I wanted to be able to do is turn an air conditioner on remotely so that the place would be cooled down when I got there.  The IP Power 9258T does EXACTLY THAT and I am one happy camper!  I used a relay to handle the extra current of an air conditioner.  It even works perfectly with my HTC Incredible smartphone.  For the uninitiated you will need to do basic study on how to set up ip addresses and how to use a dynamic hosting site such as [...] to insure your device is always reachable.  Not any big deal really.  The IP Power 9258T appears to be a very well made unit  The best  set-up guide is availabe on a .pdf file available on the Internet.  I found it better than the included literature.  Computer Geeks delivered my 9258T very quickly.

I have three of these supporting my file servers, router, access points, IP phone and Ring security camera.  The other night when I had a power failure they kept everthing up and running while I turned on the generator.

I was looking for a device to backup my PC and provide cloud access.  I had it up and running in about 30 minutes with no problems.  I have an AT&T Uverse router, so I did have to make some port forwarding settings because the router doesn't allow for the UPNP.

Functionality has been solid.  I have easy access to my files anywhere I have an internet connect.  I went ahead and snagged an open source program called Create Synchronicity off of source forge to have better control over backups.

The device cannot be set up to access IP cameras as advertised.  On the setup page for the cameras there is no place to enter the username and password for the camera so it cannot be accessed.  It does interface with the Vista 20P Alarm panel well.  I have not tried any ZWave devices yet.  I can find to information on setting up cameras on this device on the web.

Arrived faster than Prime 2 day shipping so Love that! Also works as advertised, powered my IP Camera as expected. There's a very bright green LED power indicator that can be used as a night light or just turn it over and all is good. Very happy with the product and the RJ-45 ports are labeled clearly one side POE the other LAN so you know where each side goes. I use this mid-span to power an IP camera and LAN side on a Gigabit network switch and there are no issues at all. Very pleased and would order again from the same vendor.

I was skeptical of this device because it was quite a low price and there wasn't a whole lot on it on the internet as it seems the device category is kind of being flooded at the moment, however I don't regret buying it at all: everything you can do with your phone you can do with this thing*, just better.  It's very stable (been running for a couple weeks without a single reboot), very powerful and it gets warm under heavy stress but nothing more.  The remote is okay; better than nothing but it could stand to have better reception (the IR receiver is in a vent hole, so at extreme angles even if you're pointing it at the device it won't respond).  You can do a lot more than you think with this thing, since it's powered by USB and is so tiny:
Media Center (They have XBMC running on these things and will be improving support in the future)
Low footprint PC (Seriously, you could tape this to the back of the TV and get an outstanding Android-based PC)
Security Camera (What I'm using it for): IP Webcam, combined with the linux program motion on another PC, makes it for a great security camera.  I'm sure most cameras work, but I'm using a Logitech C260 if it helps.  It doesn't detect all of the resolutions though, only up to about 800x600 if I remember correctly.

Some additional thoughts:

1. It's rootable and it's quite easy to do.  There aren't any custom ROMs that I've found so far for it though.
2. OpenVPN won't work on it currently.  It has something to do with the TUN module, apparently.  Which is a bummer because I'd love to get this thing on my VPN.

All in all I'm very happy with the device.

Great IP Camera for the money - I have them mounted Indoors and Out and for the money they work great ,  a pleasant surprise . I also found them very easy to activate and I can now view them from where ever I'm at.

This was my first ever wireless IP cam purchase and I decided to purchase since one can be had for under 70 bucks.  I purchased the Lonestar model.  First of all, configuration does require some basic networking skills but I didn't really have any issues.

Overall, I'm extremely impressed with the cam.  I installed it outside (under a covered breeze way) facing my backdoor and setup the motion detector alarm to dump to a hard drive for now which will be changed to an off-site FTP server soon.  Motion detection recording works flawlessly.  The nightvision is fantastic.  Optical quality is perfectly acceptable for the price but set your expectations realistically.  The color and contrast are a bit off but the resolution makes up for that.  Remote operation from work and my smart phone work flawlessly.  I haven't setup or tested the audio portion.  It includes a free DDNS address.

Here was my installation method, this may help those who find the instructions a bit lacking:

1) I assigned a static private IP to the cam.  If you do this ensure the IP is outside of your DHCP server scope but within your existing LAN subnet and of course, is not it use.  Since you will need to setup a port forward rule in your router I would recommend using a static vs dynamic private IP...your mileage may vary.
2) I changed the HTTP port assignment to 81 in order to not conflict with remote access of my router
3) I setup port forwarding in my router for source/destination port 81 to LAN IP of IP cam (only change I had to make in my router: Linksys 320N running DD-WRT fw)
4) Configured motion detection/alarm settings; recording path; PAN settings (changed to 1 which is actually the fastest with 10 being the slowest); etc

PROS:
- Inexpensive
- Loaded with an impressive list of features
- Relatively easy to configure
- Everything works except SMTP authentication (see below)
CONS:
- Cheap constuction but I didn't expect better considering the price
- Problem with SMTP authentication for email...doesn't appear to work with gmail or Hotmail. I'll figure it out and post an update to this review

Just got it set up and it's working wonderfully. I had a bit of trouble setting it up via Wi-Fi but once I used Ethernet it was up and running seamlessly. The software app is very useful as well. Let's see how long the camera lasts.

Works great, using w existing analog cameras, glad I can add 2 IP cameras, powerful but some
features not intuitive, thats ok.  Called support twice, very helpful.

Finally an easy to set up ip camera! Plugged in the power. Connected Ethernet cord to modem. Download app. Follow simple directions and scan qr code. Unplug Ethernet and the cam now works off wireless network and works remotely. No router setting to touch at all!! A few pointers for new camera buyers. Wireless only means wireless to your router. You will have to plug this into a power outlet but that is the only plug required. The plug provided is kind of short (3')so you may need an extension cord. You can pinch and zoom the picture from your mobile device. You can set the unit to send you motion alerts but it does not send the pic or video of the motion incident. It just send you a push notification and you have to go look and see what is going on. As far as I can tell there is no ability to access the sd card files remotely to view what was captured. You need to physically get the card. You can easily control the camera settings and pan/tilt from  your phone or tablet. Speaker and mic are nice features to have.

Replaced a failed Sipura SPA3000 with this one. When I tested the router part they added, it limited my throughput to ~10 Mb/s but fortunately it has much more throughput in bridge mode so I could still have my entire LAN on a switch downstream from this box and let it prioritize my VoIP traffic.

I agree with the other reviewers that this is a very capable device, but you need to invest some time in configuration.
