Definitely not recommended.
By B. Pearce
Pros:+ Good image quality even at the max res of 1600x1200.+ Smooth video at high resolution with relatively little bandwidth consumption (thanks to h264 encoding).+ Better than average lens (it even has a manual iris and some small manual zooming capability).Cons:- It stops responding to web requests after several hours and needs physically power-cycled. This kills it for practically all purposes. Maybe I got faulty hardware, or the latest firmware is unstable?- Setting the video resolution on the camera lower than native actually crops the video, so you won't get the full field of view unless you have it at native resolution.- Cannot change the JPG compression level. A native resolution (1600x1200) picture is about 1 MB and a 640x480 picture is about 200kb. Even 320x240 is ~50kb. As such, pictures take roughly 5 to 10 times longer to transfer than they should.- The firmware it came with only allowed it to provide JPG pictures at 640x480. I had to upgrade the firmware to get 1600x1200 JPGs.- The firmware upgrade process does not let you upload a file through your browser. You have to point it at a server that has the firmware files (GrandStream provides one), then reboot the camera. The process isn't foolproof and it took approximately 6 reboots before the camera managed to actually update its firmware.- Only Internet Explorer would play video. Firefox 4 couldn't find the plugin. Maybe Firefox 3 would work. Also the plugin is unsigned so I had to change the internet security settings on every computer I wanted to install it on.Other thoughts:I want to try the previous firmware version to see if it lasts longer than a few hours, but apparently I have to set up a web server in order to do that. What a pain. I don't have time for this![Edit:] I managed to downgrade to the previous firmware using tftp and the stability issue is no longer an issue. However, I am stuck with low res JPG images again, which makes the camera next to useless for the intended purpose.

By Mr ISP
The intended use it was for a view of a mountain for a paragliding club. The mountain was only 5 miles away. The camera was incapable of creating a clear image of the mountain or anything else. It was most disappointing considering the pool of high definition cameras out there such as in your average Android smartphone. Thinking that I had a bad camera the first time I returned the first one and ordered a second. The second camera turned out to be just as bad as the first; incapable of focusing on anything further away than say maybe couple 100 feet. So I can't recommend this camera.
