 Gotta LOVE Technology for a great price! March 1, 2010
Debbie Golden (DG)
I got this camera so I could see what my dog does when I'm not home and it was totally worth the price. Mostly, my dog doesn't do as much as I thought she would, but when the housesitter has dog friends over and I got to see them all running through the house while I was out of the country, it was priceless! I've learned that I can set the cameras up in different locations to watch other things that are going on in my house when I'm not there and that has been just as entertaining to me. It was so easy to
set up, once I decided where the cameras should be placed the first time, and just as easy to use. I love that I can sign on to my account from anywhere, even from a for sale netbook at a Verizon Store in another city, and get connected to home in seconds.
If you need a new techie toy because you have all the others, don't hesitate to purchase this one. You can even send the videos to other people or save them to see again. This is a lot of fun and worth the price!

 A mixed bag when it matters February 18, 2010

When the product works, it's fine. But that's when it works. When there's a failure, the helpful Vue customer service people have the answer to restart the system. That's fine, but we got it to be used hundreds of miles away. So that's not really a fix for us. And since it is so far away, we can't box up the system and return it.
Currently it has been out for two weeks.
If you plan to get a system that you'll be near the property to restart the system when it fails, you'll be fine. When it is working, I like it. But if you're too far away, you need to take a pass or have a backup plan to get it working when it goes out.
Gave it months of time and even product update-but no good. February 10, 2010

I like to keep my reviews short and get to the point. This product is not worth the $220 I paid (on goldbox sale) and certainly not $300. Its very very tempermental with broadcasting the images through the web. Many times I have had my cameras unable to load on the webpage, and had to call my wife at home to have her hard reset the box (unplug). Also the image quality is very poor, especially in low light conditions. The camera are jumpy and not smooth through the internet either. How do I know this? I have several times had skype running with its webcam on, and will look at my Vue cams of the same area at same time....and there is a HUGE difference in quality. The skype webcam from a computer running the same internet connection is smooth and detailed, which the vue cams are like watching a convience store hold up footage. Whats the point if you can't get high speed video quality???
I saw other reviews mention the same issue before I bought this, but I am disappointed I did not listen. Listen to this review and save your money. I even waited 2 months now hoping the product would improve, and the company issued an update, but that did little to change any of the problems I mentioned. Do not waste your money just because, like I did, you think it may be cheaper than some other options.
Piece of Mind While Away From Home February 7, 2010
Racheal (Southern California)
My wife gave me the Vue system for Christmas. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, we returned home from a camping trip and discovered our house was vandalized and several items stolen from the garage. Unfortunately this was not the first time we have returned home from a camping trip to find things missing. I had looked into installing a security system before but they were either too expensive or too difficult to install.
The installation of the vue system was extremely simple. I plugged in the two wires (power and network), inserted the two batteries, turned on the cameras and in less than five mintues the system was up and running and I was able to view my cameras. This is by far the easiest installation of any computer/electronic device I have ever installed.
The battery operated cameras mean no wires so I can place them anywhere in the house, even high up on the wall in the garage where I do not have a convenient power source. The size and color of the cameras allows them to blend in easily with the surrounding. I have had the system setup now for several weeks and we have gone on a couple of camping trips since the install. While on the road I was easily able to connect to my system and check on the house and garage. I was a little concerned about the battery life of the cameras after reading a few reviews, but I can say for me this has not been an issue. While away from the house I would check on the cameras several times a day for probably a minute at a time and the batteries are still going strong. This system has given me piece of mind while we are away, which allows for a more relaxing time. I will be buying more cameras for my system so I can monitor even more locations around the house
Suggestions - A motion activated camera that could start recording and send an alert to my phone would be very welcome. I would like to place a camera or two outside so an outdoor camera might be good too.
Thanks for a great product that meets my needs and was easy to install and operate.
