CONCLUSION
The TV-IP323PI Network Camera by TRENDnet is a mid-range, compact dome model with very good image quality, good night vision range and a plethora of features. Yes, it’s not perfect since for example it lacks a durable (vanda-proof) enclosure (still only very expensive models have this feature) and an audio input (something which most models current lack, probably due to privacy laws), two features that I always liked with outdoor IP cameras. Still the overall “package” is very balanced so all that’s really left is to see how much TRENDnet asks for it.
Price is one of the strongest selling points of the TV-IP323PI model and so currently you can find it for just USD69.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 128.86Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). Yes, once again things on the other side of the Atlantic are vastly better but even here the TV-IP323PI by TRENDnet is priced ok (always compared to similar models). Overall, i have no serious complaints about the TV-IP323PI and so not only do i highly recommend it for people on a tight budget but it also gets the Golden Award.
