Didn't work as advertised May 2, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The good: Good image quality in many lighting conditions. Wireless worked well with WEP.
The bad: Email on motion detection sends one email then locks up till power reset. DDNS setup did not work, just gave error messages. I had to set up my own, which is not so hard but I wasted a lot of time trying to make it work. The camera viewer program does not record on motion as advertised. Phone tech support is useless and email support is slow and unhelpful and now they seem to have given up on me.
If they come through I'll revise my opinion but for now I cannot recomend this product for anything but real time web viewing. The motion detection does not seem to work as advertised
 Terrible Experience April 23, 2007

I bought this camera to tell which of our cats is engaging in "bad" behavior. After five hours, including 1.5 hours with Hawking's outsourced, overseas Tech Support, I could not get one image. The quick set up did not work. The semi-automated set up did not work. The manual set up did not work. Tech support had me changing the IP addrresses of both my wireless router and the camera several times without explaining why. Had to change ports (80 & 5000) did not work.. I returned it the next day for a refund.
Hawking HNC290G Web Camera November 29, 2006
November 29, 2006 - When I got it new - I rated this 4.5 stars. The quick summary is that it works period. I can view this camera anywhere in the world. The price is great and the configuration was a snap. It was working (world-wide) in about 15 minutes because I did not need to do any special configurations (like change the html port from 80 (the normal default) to another port #). However, even you have to change the web port or video port because ISP blocking, you can!
This product works without a PC and also works on both a wired LAN or a wireless (802.11g) lan. It defaults to wired if connected. For the camera to work you only have to have your local network up (eg: DSL or Cable Modem, your router, and the camera turned on). I would give it 5 stars but the video quality is not as good as a TV but more that good enough to see what is going on (people, weather, flooded basement, etc). I am getting an effective of 3 - 6 frames / sec in the WWW. I get 15 - 20 in my local home network. The camera does not have a mic so there is no sound but that is not a problem for security monitoring etc.
UPDATED: 3/2008 - The camera died this month (worked for a total of 16 months - just past the 12 month warranty). For the last 6 - 9 months it became quite flakey, so much so, I could not count on it because it needed to be unplugged (reset). My recommendation is now to avoid this device, mainly because of its flaky operation and life.
