Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Toshiba IK-WB15A IP Security Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera
Customer Review: The Great Blur
Summary: 2 Stars
I have the IK-WB15A camera, hardwired with a POE network connection. I got this camera with plans to record the cars passing by my place 24/7s. I figured with the high resolution that this camera has, it should take great pictures, but while it takes nice large images, this images are not sharp. Spoke with Toshiba's tech support and we both looked at the camera online and made adjustments. But it came down to the fact that the camera cannot take good clear images of moving vehicles or people even during the day time, they are just a blur. My Panasonic cameras BB-HCM531A does a far better job with just a 640 X 480 image then the Toshiba with it 1280 X 960 image can.
Motion detection options are poor and limited.
Audio I/O connection cannot be used if you use the sun shield, the jacks on on the side of the camera and not protected from the weather.
PTZ is slow to move.
Limited Alarm settings.
White Balance is also not great, I have very blue skies and brown grass.
Camera is large about a 5 x 5 x 5 box.
Low light level images: dark unless you really SLOW down the shutter.
No day/Night or auto setting of the slow shutter speed. One setting for all light levels. If you set it slow for night, it will be slow for day time too.
Low light level listed as being very low, but that is only if you take in to account that it also takes 4 seconds per frame. I would say more like 4 lux min.
Firmware needs to be written better IMHO.
Okay, the now the good things about this camera:
Optical zoom is GOOD, about a 2.6X zoom, no digital zoom!
Image size is GOOD, 1280 X 960
Tech Support, fast to answer, and tried to help and honest about the limits of this product.
Has a very nice low noise image at night with super slow shutter speed (4 seconds)
Now I use it for a weather camera, since that is about all it is good for. See for yourself, live, www.mywxbox.com (Bridgeland station).
For a security camera, this is NOT a great camera to go with due to blurry images. IMHO My Panasonic BB-HCM531A, day and night time images are better for security. Smaller too!
Description of Toshiba IK-WB15A IP Security Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera
The IK-WB15A is one of the first IP Network Cameras to leverage the full potential of the next generation Fuji Super CCD with its unique 45? diagonal angled pixels. When compared with "megapixel" cameras, the Super CCD delivers 60% better horizontal and vertical resolution, fewer jagged edges, faster video processing, and broader dynamic range in an ultra-compact form factor. Plus, the Super CCD's higher sensitivity means you can use the IK-WB15A in more lighting environments.Cameras
