Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera Wireless 802.11

September 13th, 2007 · View Comments

The Panasonic BL-C131A Network Camera Wireless 802.11 is a wireless remote video monitoring camera. It’s great as a nanny cam, or to watch a baby or pet, or even to monitor your house when you are away.

It’s a very cool device and the way it works is that it’s completely wireless and it connects to your wireless router. If you don’t have a router, you won’t be able to use this camera.

You can watch the video from a Web browser or even from a mobile phone.

You have the options of capturing the footage in MPEG-4 (streaming video) and JPEG (still photo) formats, and if you choose to capture JPEG, you can have it refresh a set increments like every 5 or 10 seconds.

It’s a great monitoring device, and it’s pretty discreet. It looks sort of like a baby monitor (the plain old audio kind), so if you’re trying to observe somebody without them noticing, it’s a cool device for that purpose.

For the price range, this is the best one I’ve seen, and it’s easy to set up.

    This is a great low cost network camera. I’m not sure the url of the jpeg but you can always try calling panasonic tech support to see if they will tell you. Sometimes the jpeg can be password protected which means you will have trouble viewing it on a handheld device. The other option is setting up FTP in the camera to send snapshots to a website periodically for you to view.
