These have been replaced with a new V2 version. This first version had a ton of firmware issues and they do not have a long life. I've got three of these and the picture is very good but when they first came out they had a ton of security issues. I had to unplug mine until they updated the firmware to not allow a hacker to take over the cam. It wasn't 10 minutes after I plugged mine in that someone was controlling it. They have fixed the firmware but now two of the three are dead. At this price they are a decent camera. If they only lasted longer.

Pretty much same experience here. I bought 8 units or so, some v2 too. Installed 4 of them w/ PoE splitter. All of them are installed indoor, the PoE switch is a midrange Cisco w/ UPS backup. Should be fairly good environment for cameras...
One by one died. The first one to die was actually the v2, it started to continuously emit an annoying shriek. I just unplugged that one right away, since it's in my living room. The rest are slowly dying... I think I just have one up now, and it needs to be rebooted every couple of days.
I'm not too bothered since they're my additional cameras; my backbone cameras are Mobotix and they are quite solid.HW: HS3 w/ Win8.1 on ASRock C2550d4i.
