I am sorry you haven't felt you have been helped enough with Foscam Tech-support but I've called them 3 times and every time they were able to satisfy my needs, and that's the truth. As for the camera itself, well it's doing what I've read on the reviews here on Amazon but the only thing I can say relatively negative would be that the camera is far from "plug and play." You need to have some networking knowledge to tackle setting it up. I have a Verizon router and port forwarding is required, thus is why I needed tech-support in the first place because I am not computer savvy. Savvy? :) I am sorry you haven't felt you have been helped enough with Foscam Tech-support but I've called them 3 times and every time they were able to satisfy my needs, and that's the truth.

I depend a lot on the reviews here on Amazon. More and more, I am seeing bogus reviews being written. Not only do I want to see Amazon deleting these reviews, I want to see these liars punished for their attempts to mislead consumers. It is bad business for both the companies doing this, and it makes Amazon look careless for allowing it to continue.

Couldn't agree more, but Azon doesn't bother to read these comments. So Rots of Ruck. ;=)

I believe that tech support requests the caller to post feedback in order to receive free tech support....

Amazon doesn't proactively police its reviews (that I know of), but you can. Click the "Report Abuse" button next to the review and express your concern. That should get a moderator's attention.

Half of these reviews seem bogus. If one reads through the reviews, they will find several reviews that have the following in common:1. "Technical Support" as the subject2. Purchases are not "Amazon verified"3. When one looks up "see all my reviews", there is only 1 review.Really, I mean if I'm a newbie on Amazon, the one and only purchase I decide to review is a wireless IP camera that I'm going to have to punch through a router in order to see it on my iphone, IPAD, or Android device, and the subject of that review is praising technical support, I think not.

I got this camera because a friend of mine has it and i saw it working. It is not the great thing, but i do not think there are many other options, and this works for me as baby monitor. I had no issues installing it and setting it up.But I need to agree that I saw many bogus reviews. lost of 1st time reviewers on a short period of time with comments that look too sub-real to me.I read several reviews before buying anything at amazon. I hope Amazon invest in keeping the reviews clean.

When you send back to Nikon pigs, they'll make sure you'll have to upgrade in very short time by breaking something else... This is my personal experience of 30 years. If you voice your opinion, there are millions of paid posters and Nikon employee lurking around in the cyberspace, giving reviewer misery of lifetime, not to mention spreading virus on PC, so that you won't ever dare to raise your voice against almighty Nikon pigs.

How do you know that this is fake and paid for reviews? Do you have any proof to back this up? I would be very interested, as I ordered this product and hate to waste money on products due to the reviews. Why would Amazon let this happen and Dr, Oz? I need to hear more about this.

I ignored some complaints I read online about Woodland Hills Camera and am really sorry I did. I never received the product they supposedly mailed to me and spent a lot of wasted time and money trying to resolve the problem. The staff there is very unfriendly once they've got your money. Don't make the same mistake I did. Here are more people who got scammed by this unscrupulous company:http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/woodland-hills-camera-c215793.html

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

Sorry, Jeffrey. Those camera models that come up, come up automatically. I didn't type those in. I just typed the review text.

If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is, too good to be true; especially with this many bad reviews. I'm not taking a chance, most images this time of year are family & friends, both are much to valuable to risk loosing just to save a few dollars.

Is it appropriate to write a review to point out that other reviews are fake? Like this, for example: http://www.amazon.com/review/RVB2G6BM1FZ0C/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B005A3RUPU&nodeID;=&tag;=&linkCode;= . I put 5 in the one above to avoid changing the rating average. But DaveCt is right; unless people bother reading the full review, my putting 5 stars is actually worth the same (as far as the star average rating goes) as the other and obviously fake reviews.so, what star rating would/should/do you give?

The negative reviews for the "newer" version seem to come primarily from "new" Amazon reviewers who have, not verified their purchase and in their short review histories, positively reviewed iFinity products. It looks to me like some the negative reviews for the lepai amp have been faked.

Did the same thing for me. I filled a complAint and never heard back. I wish I had off read the reviews before purchasing because it seems to be common.

James you are correct. If you pay any attention at all to product reviews, it is blatantly obvious. An average customer doesn't use all the technical information that the companies will. Sad thing is now customer reviews are only helpful if they are bad. Those are the only ones I read and go from there.

I reviewed this and found several reviews with 5 stars that was not considered helpful. In my review I gave 5 stars, and was considered helpful. I'm not sure where you are going with this question?

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

I'm sorry to hear about your horrible experience, but it sounds like it was a very remote occurrence. I, like the several other people whose comments I see here, have had no trouble with my Lumix. I would follow Janet's advice; return the camera, and let the company make it right with you. Unless they are totally unethical, they won't want to leave you unhappy with their product. These are actually nice cameras. I'm sure they'll fix this for you.

Return it and get your money back as I did and write a review that you are not satisfied&gt; I was surprised they will bargain you to remove your review to get 5 star and give you some amount. They will force you to get it. Lol...You cant say "No" though...

This company is a scam. Interested in the details? Google the company and you'll find your answers on the first page of results. In fact, it's enough to have a thorough look at their reviews. The positive ones are mainly biased / bought reviews. Check the unfavorable ones for a real taste of what's happening. You're welcome.

One of the one star reviews was not a review, but was somebody pointing out that the reviews must be "fixed" b/c they're part of the Vine program. This is the first I've heard of the program, but not that Amazon has not deleted this faux review which gave this sale product one star when the reviewer makes no mention of purchasing the TV. That kind of thing makes it hard to believe that Amazon is dealing in a shady way. At most, maybe they got this TV in the hands of reviewers who tend to give more positive reviews. Still, if it was a POS, they would have said so. Kind of hard to wade through the B.S. here and come to the correct conclusion. I'm still not certain.
