TRENDnet TV-IP602WN ProView Wireless Pan/Tilt/Zoom Internet Surveillance Camera

An improvement over Trendnet's older cams, (What's this?) The TV-IP602WN is basically an upgraded version of Trendnet's older Pan/Tilt network cams. I am familiar with Trendnet/Linksys/Dlink cams (click "see all my reviews" above) and I will be comparing the 602WN to these. The maximum resolution of the camera is unchanged from the previous models and is 640x480 (some older/cheap IP cams only do 320x240, I would advise against buying these).
Appearance wise the 602WN is more curved/rounded than the older TV-IP410/422 cams. I didn't find anything wrong with the older design but it's changed to a somewhat sleeker appearance. One thing that's changed is the Pan/Tilt range. On the 410/422 the Pan range is +/- 165 degrees (330 degrees side-to-side) and Tilt +(up)90/-15 degrees. On the 602 this is reduced to Pan +/- 156 degrees (312 degrees) and Tilt +(up)70/-45. Notice that although the Pan range is reduced somewhat the cam can now tilt further down than older models could have. This is a good thing as cams are often mounted high, so being able to tilt more downward rather than up is often useful.
Another thing that's improved from the older 410/422 series is a new "night mode/slow shutter" option so that you can get a better image in low light (although fast motion may blur due to the slower shutter speed). This is exactly like the option on the D-Link DCS-1130 camera, and in fact both cameras share similar options for RTSP/night mode settings (I suspect both cams use the same CMOS sensor). Note that the 602WN is a day cam (i.e. it has no infrared LEDs to illuminate in low light levels) so you will need some illumination at all times.
