Summary: Nice little cam.....
Comment: Its a great little camera. Nice clear images, especially in jpeg mode. Not so hot in low light, just buy a light bulb for the room and turn it on... this covers that base. I love the microphone, the main reason why i did not buy the panasonic cam.
Don't be put off about the cam being wireless 11b. It works really well if you have a wireless router with dual b and g formats.
It was very easy to get it up and running through the wireless LAN, the WEP encryption works well too, the manual instructions are very clear and the supplied IP software provided helps too. However i had some trouble getting it to work over the internet. I have a separate (zoom x3) modem and wireless router (linksys wrt-54g) and i could not access the cam at all, through the DNSS address i could reach the modems splash screen but it would not forward through to the camera. I tried port forwarding through to the camera but had absolutely no luck at all. After many frustrating days and of doing some extensive reading i was able to get it running by configuring the modem into half-bridge mode, this feature cuts out the modems router capabilities and the WAN address is sent directly to the wireless router.
I also use the port forward function on the router in order to get around the routers splash screen as well. So i now contact the cam by using the DDNS sony server with this example address: xxxxx.snccam.net:(the port number).
Works great!!!
Unfortunately i cannot get the email triggering working as yet. I think it has something to do with the smtp port address, which most ISP are using to stop spam, you cannot set this up. I wish sony would update their firmware for this device to include these additional parameters. If i figure it out i will let you all know....
Update: I was able to get the email notification working at last, wahoo, i changed the SMTP server name from an address (smtp.xxx.com) to the ISP DNS IP address and it appears to work fine. I hope this helps.

Summary: Finally got it to work and satisfied with it
Comment: It took me some time to get this working with my DI-624 router but finally got it working. The tricky part was getting it to work with WEP. I had to configure my router accordingly:
* WEP
* HEX 128Bit Key
* Open system (Shared Key DOES NOT WORK)
The image quality is okay (I'm guessing that you're never going to get a great quality imaging unless you buy a professional level equipment). Why am I still happy with it? I have it as a security camera for my apt while I'm at work. I don't think I will be able to identify the intruder but, by using the motion detector feature, I can be notified if there is an intruder and call the police. That's good enough for me.

Summary: Surprise!
Comment: I wouldn't call this a plug and play item. I was not able to install the camera after following the instructions carefully.
Three hours later I spotted a little sticker placed on the box. "Compatible with the following Sony approved routers". My Belkin router is not on the list. Surprise!
Let me save you hours of aggravation. The approved router list is not on the Sony website or on the Amazon description of this network camera.
Approved routers: Linksys WRT65G,Linksys WRT54GS,D-Link D-Link 504,D-Link 604,D-Link 624, Netgear WGT624,Netgear WGT634U

Editorial Reviews:

Featuring MPEG4 data compression for clear, smooth reproduction of live moving images at frame rates up to 30fps (QVGA resolution) and audio over a standard DSL connection, the SNC-M1 is a compact, discreet camera that's quick and convenient to install in almost any location. Additional installation flexibility is afforded by a wireless LAN (WLAN) option that allows the camera to be sited without physical connection to an Ethernet cable.
