On Test: Panasonic BL-C131
Exciting New Features
We’ve been using the Panasonic BL-C131 for a while now and we have not been disappointed with Panasonic’s upgrade to their hugely popular BL-C30 model. It holds the same key features as its predecessor, i.e. it’s a wireless, pan/tilt network camera with a built-in web server meaning that you can view it remotely from any location over the Internet or call up the images using any browser-equipped mobile phone.
Let’s a take a closer look as what it offers:

Look, No Wires!
Recently launched by Axis, the new variant of their Axis 211 model fills a gaping hole in the IP camera market by offering true native wireless connectivity both indoors and outdoors. The Axis 211W when bought as an outdoor bundle includes both an indoor wireless antenna and a large outdoor wireless antenna to give a wide range of installation possibilities.
Wireless outdoor cameras are something we get asked for on a regular basis and until now it’s not been achievable with ease, so it’s with excitement that we take a closer look at the Axis 211W and see if the wireless connectivity is worth all the fuss…

Night Goggles On
Hot on the heels of the launch of their competitively priced Y-cam White the people at Y-cam have gone and launched a most unique camera with the Y-cam Black. It had been designed for home/small business security in mind and comes with 30 infrared LEDs built into the camera body. This incredibly useful feature allows the camera to auto-switch between colour daylight viewing and night vision mode, providing useful images in complete darkness thanks to infrared illumination. A feature such as this in a camera at this price point really is worth a look.

We were actually tipped off about this camera from a gentleman on our forum. He made bold claims about it having as good a picture as a comparable Panasonic camera.
Not one to pass up on a challenge we got one in to take a look.

The Axis 211 is one of our popular cameras, especially for those who were looking for a simple, cost-effective solution for outdoor monitoring.
It makes us glad then that Axis have developed a megapixel version, the Axis 211M. We’ve had one in for testing so lets take a look at it…
