I understand your reticence but if the solution is to update the firmware then you're just firefighting unless you update the firmware. Painful as it may be now it might be better than hitting your head against a brick wall. I'm running version 5 of the firmware on my EXT+ and not had any...

When you say it 'goes offline' is that when you try and view it remotely or locally? When it falls off your network does it still show up in your router's DHCP table? I got one of these from Amazon a couple of weeks ago and mine's been rock solid with my BT Home Hub - though I did update the...

Just wanted to confirm what phil has said, the eyespy cameras can be used stand alone. I have mine sending me recordings using ftp (to the free webspace I have with my hosting provider) so don't use their web portal service. You can get the cameras to send you email if you don't want to use ftp...

If you're thinking of installing it outside you've got a lot of choice - mostly bullet style cameras which can be a bit tricky to hide. Have a look at the eyespy range of cameras as their two outdoor models have a much smaller profile than most I've come across. The only thing you need to be...

Is the video jerky when you view locally or remotely (i.e. when someone is viewing the feed from elsewhere)? It may be the network speed and/or upload speed which may be causing the 'jerkiness' - particularly if more than one person is accessing the stream at the same time. You could also take...

One for the folks at Use IP Since you guys are a partner of EyeSpy247 I was hoping you might have some news on pricing and availability of the EXT+ model? MM

I asked them about the ext+ too as I saw it on their site but they say it's not available yet. Should be soon they say. If you email them directly I'm sure you'll get useful answers to your questions as they are usually very good at responding quickly. Memman

I would not recommend using an indoor camera and point it out of the window. I tried that and there were too many problems - not only does the IR reflect off the glass but the motion detection and any other sensors probably won't work either effectively because of the glass. I went for an...

Hi David...and others who might be interested of course :) Well, I went with a set of eyespy ext cameras and can honestly say its been a very good decision, to date at least. I was a little (ok more than a little) doubtful about whether I could get them up and running as eyespy and some...

David, from what your requirements appear to be (which are quite similar to mine from what I can see) you definitely want to consider an IP camera - but the question is which one. I've been checking them out for a few weeks now and, for what it may be to you, I've come down to a toss up...
