Easy setup .... quality images [Posted on 2007-12-06]
Easy to setup and renders quality images. If somebody is fooling around your property and the camera catches him (outside OR inside)you have evidence. Plus it will send an email to you away from home so you can see what's going on .... a little pricey but great features. No monthly fee .... I like that.
Excellent Camera [Posted on 2008-05-14]
Purchased this camera along with a couple more for security reasons. This camera has an excellent picture quality and can be viewed from a remote location, i.e., work, play or other location, as long as you have a computer. I love it and wish I had bought this a long time ago.
very easy to install [Posted on 2008-05-14]
very very very easy to install the indoor and outdoor cameras. out of the 5 cameras i received - so far 2 have proved to be defective BUT the units that DO WORK - work very well. The customer service guys are the best I have EVER dealt with bar-none!!!! Returns were easy. For the money they are an added level of security.
Hardware failures after 1-2 years. [Posted on 2008-07-06]
I have 2 outdoor Lukwerks cameras and 2 indoor cameras. I've had them since September 2007. They were easy to set up and the new software (version 2.5) seems stable with fewer cut-outs.
However, I've had hardware failures. Within six months of purchase, both power supplies to my indoor cameras failed. Replaced.
In June, 2008, one of my outdoor cameras died. I contacted customer serviced and gave the information. Three days later, I got an email from Lukwerks tech. support with an RMA number. I packaged the dead camera and sent it in. About 10 days later, I received a replacement. In all, I was without the camera for about two weeks, but I DID get it replaced.
In July, 2008 my second outdoor camera failed. I have not yet had it replaced. I purchased it in June, 2007, so it'll be interesting to see if they will replace it since the warranty is only 1 year. I will update when I have further results.
All of these hardware failures are troubling. I speculate that it is caused by electrical noise or surges that are frying the fragile components in the cameras. During the summer these are fluctuations in electrical power caused by all of the air conditions and the switching going on by the power company. Since you cannot put line conditioners or surge protection on the cameras, they are fully open to this noise. It's either that or just the heat of the summer. Either way, the components in the cameras seem very weak and fragile. To have a 100% of my outdoor cameras fail within 14 months is disturbing.
When the cameras work, they do an adequate job. Other than the hardware failures, I am pleased with the picture quality and the functioning of the cameras.
I would be hesitant, however, to invest in this system again since it appears that the component quality is severely lacking. At least, that has been my experience.
