The second unit works pretty reliably. It is nice to be able to view it in a web browser on either a mobile device or a PC.
The camera fails to meet the ideal in the following ways:
Occasionally (every 5-10 minutes) the video pauses. In a browser window, a refresh is required to restart it. In the dedicated MultiLive PC software, the video restarts automatically.
The MultiLive PC software periodically locks up, and will not restart without killing the old process from the Windows task manager.
Even at the highest quality setting, the picture is pretty pixelated for a 640x480 image. Frame rate does not seem to be 30fps as advertised.
The audio feed has a constant background tickety-tickety-tickety...
The infrared lamps emit visible red light, which makes the camera visible in the dark.
Changing any of the night vision settings causes a clicking sound from the camera. Changing the IR filter setting causes a loud click which attracts attention.
Automatic IP setting did not work. I had to assign the IP address manually.
