 Great camera for Mac's tooApr 15, 2009
By Aaron Frankel
I have tried a bunch of network cameras and unfortuantely most don't work very well Macintosh. Under $400 most don't work that great period. The Axis cameras on the other hand do. The web interface was pretty straight forward. Setup was a little technical, but easy enough.
Few of really great things about this camera if you are using a Mac. First, they automatically show up in the Bonjour menu of Safari so locating them and administrating them over the network is easy. Second, Quicktime automatically finds them through Bonjour too!!! You can actually very the video streams straight from Quicktime. Go to File/Open Url/ then click on the menu button to the far right of the screen that pops up and towards the bottom of the list you will see the camera(s) list themselves. You can also change the name that appears in Bonjour lists from a IPv4 address to a recognizable name by going into the web admin of the camera System Options/Network/Bonjour and renaming the camera in the field called "Friendly Name" and hitting save.
Now for the bad. The LRD light on this camera is a complete joke. If something was sitting two to three feet from this camera the light lights up the subject just barely. Any further away than that and the light is useless. The demo video of this camera on the manufacture's website is blatantly in fabricated that shows a crystal clear video being shot at night. Second beef, the password setup. The password set up does not work over just a few characters. This took me several tries of setting up the password (10 characters) and then not being able to get in to the camera and having to do a factory reset (small button on the back of the camera. Unplug the power. Hold the small button on the back. Continue holding it for 20 seconds as the camera powers back up. Once done the green LED on the front turns amber. Goes green again when process is complete.) I finally just put in a three character password and called it a day rather than pushing for a good one of any length.
All in all the cameras benefits WAY outweigh the short comings. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good network camera in the price range whether you are looking for compatibility with Mac or PC.
Additionally I also bought the version of this camera without the light and audio, M1101-W, works just as well.

 Excellent (for the price)Nov 28, 2009
By SnS
5 star rating based on quality and functionality, given price. This camera is used w/ Apple Mac and Seagate BlackArmor server.
PROS:
--good image quality
-- solid feature set inc. saving video/images to FTP, email, etc. and notification
-- can view online (also via iPhone) w/ complimentary AXIS website
-- excellent design
-- despite complaints the LIGHT is good - i illuminate fairly large rooms w/ one yes one camera - so the complain is unfounded and possibly due to defective unit.
--solid wifi
-- at this price (250ish) you will not find a better product.
CONS:
-- subpar documentation
-- there is a learning curve (and if you are not expert IT you will call tech support and they will help you so you will learn which is +)
-- more difficult on a mac given you have to perform a more manual input since no osx SW from AXIS
this is an excellent product, truly. 5 stars for all that you get for what essentially amounts to peanuts.
here's hoping AXIS comes out w/ a rotating version of this cam.

Best "Cheap" Surveilance CameraDec 19, 2009
By J. Kletsky
This isn't a re-purposed webcam for your desktop; it is optimized for high-quality, multi-stream, compressed video output under even relatively low light conditions. It will provide adequate image quality under nearly-dark conditions (low "night" interior lighting, street light) and the illuminator can be used for then the PIR sensor picks up motion, even in "total" darkness.
Good quality video is streamed even at 200 kbps, with the camera able to support multiple, H.263 streams at once. No compression host is needed. All day-to-day viewing and management tasks can be performed through a browser -- Mac and FreeBSD (and, I assume Linux) work just fine. I expect that Maemo on my soon-to-be-shipped Nokia n900 will be fine as well.
No drivers are needed and there is a well-documented API that allows for development of image and video control and capture utilities on any platform that can handle HTTP(S) and RTSP for streams.
My only complaint so far, for the price, is that the password mechanism is somewhat bizarre. As with the other user that mentioned this, it took several reboots to get one that works. It may be that uppercase characters on setting the password are silently changed to lowercase. This needs to be worked out before I consider providing access to the camera on a public Internet address.

Axis 1031w comments / reviewFeb 08, 2012
By Kurt Rees
I've had the camera for a couple of days now. Thanks to google search I got the email event notifications working.
If you go with straight gmail or hotmail as an email service, you will be spending days getting this to work without some modification.
In the Event configuration, you can specify a gmail address (for example), however you will need to configure your SMTP netork to use
another provider. I use gmx.com because it is more compatable with axis.
When this happens, it appears gmx.com will forward the mail to gmail. I'm not sure how that works but it does...
For those who are interested:
Go to System Options -> Network -> SMTP
Primary Mail Server: 74.208.5.67
Primary server port: 587
SMTP Authentication selected.
It took me awhile to get audio working with the video on my
cell phone. The default is AAC, which only works with Internet
In Video & Audio -> Audio Settings
Set the Encoding to G711 u-law
Now everything works great. I use the PIR motion detection w/light at night and regular motion detection during the day. This sends me not only emails of the actual trigger, but there's a cache on the camera that stores pre-trigger events and you can have those send as well as post trigger events.
One thing to note when initally configuring. You will need an ethernet cable to connect to the camera to have it connect to the wireless access point and authenticate. Don't forget to disconnect the ethernet cable to test it on the wireless network!
Overall, I'm happy with the camera, it is worth the price. The Administration GUI is run from the camera itself and is very comprehensive and well done. I would recommend it.
