This looks like the same camera as Foscam F18904.

You'll save and service is much better.

Looks like the Foscam is $106 plus $40 for the software and the X10 is $130 including software.... maybe there is a better price out there.  X-10 sales support just told me they are now in stock.

agcruise,

I believe there is no software with the Airsight camera.  It is just the Web interface, same as what comes with the Foscam.  The software they are talking about (Blue Iris) on the Foscam site is a more robust video recording program.  Very good software I might add.

From what Im seeing I agree with Systemdm  it is just a web interface.  It you look at the Foscams there is a third party software called Ihouse that is FREE that works well with foscam I currently am running 2 of them and running beautifully  check it out at www.ihousehomeautomation.com

If your asking about the foscam the night visibility is rather good.  I can see clearly approx 60 ft with no distortion.

I just installed my first cam. It seems to be working just fine. Resolution is good, will have to wait until tonight to see how the IR works.
It's running on WiFi with a smooth feed.

I guess the next step is to work out how to access the feed via the net.

Anyone have any suggestions on software? This is the first of several cams to be installed.

I'd be interested in that as well, as I have had difficulty figuring out the port forwarding for net access???

I see that a number of people have questions about Port Forwarding... check this site... this guy Shane is very good in explaining about Port Forwarding.

http://www.pcwintech.com/

Although he supports the Lorex DVR.. there are many lessons you can learn about his tech tips. Check out the SUPPORT FORUMS on that site.

Just remember... for the IP Camera Settings..



NOTE: 

Set the IP Address to a Static Address.  So that if you power off your router and/or the camera, it will use still use the same static IP address.

Gateway and DNS Server should have the IP Address of your Router's IP Address.

Subnet Mask: I always use 255.255.255.0

Http Port:  use something else other than 80... sample use ==> 8080

Just in case if people doesnt know about this...

the Airsight Wireless camera unit do come with the software.

When I got the package, I was shocked that I dont have the software.. called the tech support and ws told to check under the unit. Yes, the software CD is under the foam packing within the box.

If you loose the CD or didn't find it.
There is a download link for it in the X10 wiki.
IP camera section.
