Product Description
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.

Error in Vendor Description
This camera Model (IK-WB15A) does not have wireless like the vendor claims. The previous model to this the (IK-WB11A) which is now no longer made, had wireless.
All in all not bad cameras, I have both, the WB11a and WB15a. Hunt around with the model number for the best deals.

Don't be fooled by this one - Toshiba cut corners.
This camera has a sensor that is 1/2 the size of the previous model (IK-WB11A) and it shows: The video quality never really escapes being pixelated, even at the highest resolution settings. Toshiba's rigamarole about it being a "Super (Honeycomb) CCD" sensor can't escape the fact that sensor size and number of pixels is the bottom line and the tiny sensor in this camera is a big step backwards.
This camera also regrettably sheds wireless networking, but does have optical zoom and marginally faster responsiveness. However, if you're looking for really clear video, keep shopping. Haunt eBay for an old stock IK-WB11A and you'll probably be much happier. (Note: I have several 11A's and 15A's in use side by side.)

The Great Blur
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!

Nice little unit
We wanted to be able to check the front and I did some digging and the Toshiba IK-WB15A IP Security Pan/Tilt/Zoom Camera looked like it fit the bill.
I would have liked more zoom... but for the price and how clear the picture is, we can live with it.
Oh, even thou they tell you it is for outside, in the instructions it states you should keep it like under the eve or build some type of bigger hood. That was not a problem for us.
Would have been nicer if it supported Firefox, since the o/s of the camera is built on linux... I will be looking at open source to see if I can interface the output of the camera to stream... down the road, too many projects, not enough time and the wife "always" has something. ;)
I think it you got this unit, you'd be happy, but remember, not much of a zoom. But very great pictures.

I have 17 of these and love them.
I have 17 of these cameras at 4 locations across the country and I think they are fantastic cameras. They are very easy to setup and use. If you have more than a couple you can set up one exactly how you want it and then back up the configuration and restore it to the others, make a few minor changes and you done. I use the PYsoft's Active WebCam at each location. One of them gives me problems but the others work fine. I use Firefox every day to connect directly to the cameras. Yes, you have to have JAVA but it's free and not an issue.
The only issue that I have had, is that they don't stand up well to being hit by lightening. I had to replace one. Everyone here is amazed by the quality of the picture. I highly recommend this camera.
