Because the estarling has horrible resolution and pictures looks like crap on it. You don't have to pay for the service if you don't want it, the frame works without it.

Too bad the eStarling 7" resolution is only 480x270. My Timex Ironman watch has a better resolution than that.Also, the frame only seems to support .JPGs and the widescreen format doesn't seem to be 4x6.Why can't Philips make a frame that has wireless, or even wired, network support? I'd love to have a Flickr stream, but the DPFs with the good LCD panels don't have wireless, and the ones with wireless (eStarling, and others) have terrible LCDs.

FYI -- estarling makes a much better 8" screen with 800x600 nowadays. The wireless setup is still sub-par, but it seems they all still are. The online service is free, and is pretty decent. I have zero complaints. The new version really does have one of the best screens I've seen, and I saw the old 7" one, which was amazingly horrible.

Try using a power supply of 2000mA+. And it may be your video/power cable. Use the largest cable you can find. You may have too much resistance for the length traveled. It fixed my issue. I too thought it was the camera going bad. Its just a power hog!

I'm sorry, but I am so not techie at all..I asked at a department store camera department about what they might have and they were less enlightened than me...even their manager :( I'd like to think they are suitable, but this old dog isn't learning too many new tricks anymore...good luck :)

You would be better of with a good quality webcam and use your own or make your own brackets. These cameras are iffy at best, and you are paying for the bracket not the quality of the camera. I switched to a better nice HD camera for under this price by logitec. Quality is great on the Logitec and comes with software and great options. Good luck.

Hi Michael, my apolgies for the late reply. I have updated my review and went from 5 stars to 1. Out of 2 cameras, I am now on my 3rd replacement. One of my replacements is a V2 and that one has been working well with no issues for 2 months now. I just got my other replacement last week so early days and amazingly it was a V1. I emailed them and they said they were out of V2's and the V1 should be just fine now. I am hoping I will have no more issues - they otherwise work very well.

Neither of the 2 I bought "flicker", they work great. Could you elaborate on what you mean?

I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

Go in and look around on the Drop Cam website. They have both of the cameras pointed out a window in San Francisco. You can tune in a few times a day and get a good feel for the difference. Not sure about at night as I do not think the little cameras infrared lights will go very far. But, will give you and idea. My strong suggestion is to give up on the D-Link and go to the bright side of the force.

You will need to contact the company Moultrie. I was very disappointed with this product. I hope you have better luck, and a lot of batteries. Some of the new Moultrie Cams have a MANDATORY 10 second delay, and it's causing me to miss a lot of action shots.

I am no electrician.. so take this with a grain of salt. I took a small voltage adapter/ transformer to plug things into in 1993 (and the plug shapes are different in Europe compared to the US) So, it is not the camera as much as the plug/transformer. The camera would be great for a European trip. I would look on travel websites to ask the question.. which is good one... ?AAA or Rick Steve,

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

Thanks Nancy.Since I'm the only user, a log on isn't too necessary.I was just worried if there was a password option in case the camera went south.I've had the Wind for about a month now and like it [have an Asus eeepc also] the camera works ok but I can't keep a good color no matter how many time I make the adjustments.Have u had any problems?

This light even advertises that it uses PWM, that's Pulse Width Modulation, which means FLICKERING. That's how it dims. This is incredibly stupid for a camera light. I'm sure that if you're using long shutter times you'll be fine, but for anything high-frame-rate or with high gate speed it's very likely that you'll get unacceptable flicker.

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

Hello, I bought this camera last year. I live on the east coast by Philadelphia and we had a brutal winter time past year. My camera is still works fine just make sure you mount it correctly. I haven't had any problems with this item

I would not recommend it. For a little more money, you shoukd invest in a better quality camera that will last longer.

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.
