It is perfect for users that are often on the road and desire around-the-clock monitoring for applications such as home/office surveillance, checking up on infants, kids, or family members. Simply connect to the Internet using a 3G-enabled device and monitor the camera's video feed without needing a computer with an Internet connection.
The DCS-5220 can be placed anywhere on the network either through a wired Ethernet or wireless 802.11g/802.11b connection to view the camera's video feed. Equipped with a 0.5 Lux CMOS Sensor, the DCS-5220 is ideal for a variety of low-light conditions. This full-featured camera boasts motorized pan and tilt capabilities that allow a greater coverage area with a single camera. Using the pan and tilt feature along with 4x digital zoom, users can zero-in on a subject much more effectively. Simply record video onto your network-based PC or take full advantage of your NAS device by recording video directly onto it. In addition, snapshots/video clips can be instantly taken while viewing the camera's video feed directly through a Web browser. While monitoring, you can also listen to anyone within close proximity to the camera's built-in microphone. Furthermore, the DCS-5220 allows you to schedule both recorded video and snapshots to be uploaded onto a ftp server and sent via e-mail.

MPEG-4 video allows for smaller sized files for extended recording periods or for use in low bandwidth networks.

Using the feature-rich IP surveillance program, monitor and manage up to 16 cameras simultaneously, set recording schedules, enable motion detection settings, and change settings to multiple cameras.

Strengths: Good price. Fairly easy setup (if you know what to do). VERY good in low light (I mean a single candle was enough!)
Weaknesses: Comes with two applications, but no explanation why. You have to figure it out. A bit cheesy looking browser client, but it's fully functional.
Summary: It has built in a dynamic DNS update client that can update any DDNS server such as dyndns.org. Set it up and it can transmit its WAN IP automatically (no need to configure a router or PC). This wasn't clear in any of the docs, but it is available thru the configuration utility.

Strengths: Great design, quick hookup, excellent picture even at night!!
Weaknesses: The zoom is not that great but what do I expect for 4x Digital Zoom.
Summary: This is a great camera and worth every cent! You will find CostCentral has the best price. You might as well order at least 2. I know I want another one. The pan and tilt works great, and having audio as well. I will be ordering another one or four.
