setup a wiki in which you solicit the documentation that you apparently can’t write yourself.(And, boy, could that market use a camera with good software) Then buy the hacks from the winning developers and have the best camera in the market, software-wise. create a contest for the best camera hacks.open-source your code and descriptions how to build it and flash the device.Your hardware is made professionally, the software out of date but probably was current at some point in the distant past, but the documentation is amateurish. It’s incomplete, confusing, and does not answer many important questions. Any professional tech pubs person would throw it away, and start again.

Bad: audio out and power in have the same plug size, and are in the same place left and right from the center.

Good: can pan and swivel by remote control.

In summary: the hardware is nice, the software and the documentation sucks. Wansview is bribing me, with $10, to write a review for their Wansview NCB541W camera.
