That said, the low light sensitivity should help for capturing those shady types in dark alleys. The entirely plastic body is just a little too flimsy for my liking and just handling the device was awkward for fear of it breaking. The TV-IPW got away with it because it was just a solid brick of plastic but this camera has several moving parts so it suffers a lot more from its cheap production methods.
The fact this camera is at the budget end of the scale makes this forgiveable though. The TV-IPW can be just sat flat on its back on a shelf or wall, and has little rubber feet to ensure a non-slip contact, but its primary function is to be mounted upside down either from a ceiling or using a case attached to a wall.

So, though the sensor may be able to detect light levels as low as 2.
Comparing to the camera on my Sony Ericsson Ki — a fairly standard wide angle snapshot camera — I was getting about half the viewable angle. Using the full x resolution requires the frame rate to drop to only 10fps and lag is very pronounced — even on our Gigabit network. All my tests with VLC indicated that whatever frame rate you choose in the camera will be doubled in the actual feed. Noted in Firmware 5. You will receive an error in the logs:. Removing the httpPreview returned a continuous stream, which is what is really wanted.
