 absolutely will not connect to wireless, 2008-11-29
The TRENDnet Wireless Internet Camera Server (TV-IP110W) sets up easily on a wired connection. The image is quite good for a camera of this price. Configuration interface is straightforward.
Now the BAD part:
1- camera does hang sometimes requiring rebooting.
2- it absolutely would not connect to my wireless. This is not the only review that states this problem. I know my way around wireless networking, so the odds are low that the problem is not the camera. I had my router open in one browser tab, the camera open in another. Everything was perfect on both. No deal. No connection ever. No WPA, No WEP. I won't try it unencrypted. I don't want to run my network like that.
I thought for under $100 this would be a good deal. Not so.
 no secure email support, 2008-10-12
Enjoyed playing with it - fairly simple configuration and setup, good image quality, lots of options to tweak.
However, one option it does NOT have is the ability to use secure SMTP for email. Since most public email servers (e.g. Google, AT&T, etc.) require secure authentication for SMTP this means the only way you can have the camera email you when it detects motion is if you set up your own mail server and/or network tunnel. Since this was the main feature I wanted - email notification and offsite storage of the images, I returned it.
Oh well.
 Great for the price, 2008-10-11
Had camera setup and working in minutes in my network. Instructions were clear and right on.
Took four days to get it working over the internet (outside my network).
trendnet.com does not have FAQ help for the 110W and the 100W screen shots are not the same Tech support by phone was fast but language skill was a problem. Online support was fast (same day) and somewhat helpful.
I thought I had a pretty good understanding of network setups so setting up port forwarding and private IP addresses was not a problem. Also setup a dynamic dns address for free. Still no go after searching online through many forums.
The solution finally came from my ISP tech support who had me bridge my DSL modem to the router and SUCCESS.
I like this camera. It does what it says. Picture quality is good. FTP works well. I do not use motion detection so I can't speak to that. I'm thinking about buying a Trendnet PTZ for more control over the aim of the camera because I use this for weather photo uploads
What's with the WLAN?, 2008-10-06
Install and set-up went OK, test position close to the WLAN router went OK.
Installed at the intended location the "W" started to act up within a day, unplugging and replugging would get it back to work for a few hours.
Then it quit, won't even do "W" mode when close to the router. Works just fine when on the wire.
Reading a few of the other "trials and tribulations" I think this one will go back. ;) :)
Update on the above:
I obtained a RMA from the seller and a replacement (naturally it's "pay up-front" for that! ;) :) ), but then decided that there had to be a solution to the WLAN problem.
There sure was: get EVERY ONE of the settings correct and it works. That includes ALL the Wireless settings including the encryption i.e. if the router is set to HEX make sure the cam settings are in HEX too! The other pit fall: correct channel! for some strange reason the channel setting will revert back to the default (6) unless one sets the channel, selects mode as "ad-hoc", then "apply". After the "Apply" go back and reset the mode to "Infrastructure". The channel setting finally stayed!
Next project will be getting the focus as clear as possible for the outside, the reviews keep mentioning the excellent picture quality ... not so far! ;) :)
 Excellent product!, 2008-10-06
Picture quality is top notch. I would like this camera to work at night but is not designed for that. During day light is awesome. Recommended.
