Avtech AVN80X 1.3 MP Fixed Indoor Network Camera with Push Video

I have a lot of network camera around the house and this one had the worst quality picture of them all to the point of being unusable. I tried all of the settings available to increase the quality but it did not help. I will credit Pasadena Networks in processing the return with few questions asked. They did say the unit was operating as designed .. but if this is the design I did not want any thing to do with this camera.

sometimes works sometimes doesn't.Trouble with both Android and i-phone.Live is too short to figure this out and the manual is no help.

It, the blue tooth, quit working on third day. I had such high hopes and really touted the product with my board and students. Bah humbug.

This is for the Avtech 815 IP camera. the set up is anything but easy, the support is non existant and the documentation is either in Chinese or so technically deep it might have well have been in Chinese too. I bought this camera a few years ago and have been attempting to get it working on my new iPhone with no success. By comparison I recently purchased a Logitech Logi Circle that set up in a flash and works great. Buy the Logi and leave this one alone

Très bonne vidéo mais quelques soucis.En mode push cela fonctionne très bien sur mon HTC One X (c'est d'ailleurs ce que l'on attend d'elle en priorité) mais il arrive que la caméra ne réponde pas depuis l'extérieur en manuel (est-ce un problème de DNS ?).Obligé donc de la réinitialiser physiquement au retour à domicile.L'envoi de courriels n'a fonctionné qu'une fois ou deux mais impossible de lire les vidéos (c'est normal parait-il ?)Impossible également de paramétrer le mode ftp, y compris en local.La détection de présence allume bien la LED mais elle ne s'éteint plus ensuite.A mon avis, le constructeur devrait revoir le firmware de A à Z mais je suis presque sûr que mon réseau n'est pas parfait non plus (plusieurs switchs en série)Quelque chose m'échappe... donc si quelqu'un peut m'aider, il sera le bienvenu.
