Took a bit of configuring but working great now! 
2008-04-17
I bought 2 of these cameras for nanny cams after comparing via reviews of a bunch of other cams online. I had a ton of trouble initially but found out that the problem I had was with my modem/router (Westell Versalink) rather than the cameras themselves. I had them working initially both-the email settings and the live video internet viewing but the cameras kept popping off my network. I finally called my ISP-ATT and had them send me a new router(2wire) and reconfigured everything and the cameras have been online and working great. I think I may buy 2 more to check on my dogs too! However...if we were rating Trend Net tech support....they would get 0 stars. Absolutely HORRID tech support! Not only do they not know what they are doing but they give you a case number and tell you they are going to call you back within 24-48 hours and NEVER do! This happened to me twice. So basically, if you ge these cameras....you must troubleshoot yourself.
Great Cam Love the thing 2008-04-15
I got one to "play with" around the house the monitor from my office. Love the thing! The most difficult part was poking the hole in my firewall (Linksys) but that was really simple too. I don't need sound or panning capability so this is great. Pics are fantastic. If it has a drawback it is that the zoom in the Java mode flickers but that would probably work out with some tinkering. I plan on putting in 3 or 4 more of these as security monitors and to observe the wildlife around the house during the day. See my pics I have posted.
Easy to use

This is an easy to use wireless webcam. It took a little messing around to get it set up to upload pix to my FTP, but now it's been working great. Very cool toy. :)
So so camera server for $100+

Required some network technical expertise to get the camera to work. Quality is Ok for $100+ toy.
Excellent value, great picture quality, careful setup required 2008-01-29
I purchased this camera to experiment with a home security setup. Rather than purchase an integrated security system and get stuck with software, cameras, etc, that I don't like, I decided to test some shareware software and go the route of IP cameras. Since wi-fi allows easy access anywhere within my house, IP cameras should work great. I spent several weeks comparison shopping and settled on the TV-IP100W based on its resolution (640x480) capability and wi-fi. I figured about $100 was a good price to test drive a home security system with different sharewares.
I was very pleased in that I had it operational via lan in 5 minutes. The wi-fi took a few minutes of tweaking with the router to make sure everything worked. I configured my router to always assign the same IP address to the MAC address on the camera and this worked great. I could only get WEP working, as the WPA seemed to elude my efforts. I stuck the camera up near a window overlooking my front lawn and entrance way and was amazed at the quality.
I ran the camera for the last 5 days continuosly and have had no problems. I've noticed the camera has some really good quality even at dusk and sunrise, but once the sun is down the camera is very poor and the image highly pixellated. Overall, this camera is exactly what I need and I plan on ordering two more, and am considering a fourth upgraded outside model with IR-LEDs and an external housing.
2008-02-29 It's been one month of continous power-on operation. The camera has never failed to function properly. The images are superb and exceed my expectations. I'm ordering 2 more today to put onto the network and test their viability as well. Given other folks reviews and their quality concerns, I'll post again later as to my experiences.
Didn't work!!!!! 
2008-06-30
I recently bought this item and could not get it to work at all. I could monitor from inside my home, but couldn't access it at all from outside my home. I tried everything from port forward to DMZ Server and nothing. I emailed tech support with my issues and all they did was send me links to things I already tried and it didn't work. They said they didn't currently have anything posted to specifically support the TV-IP100W network issues. Why would you sell a camera and not have the proper documentation to support all troubleshooting areas?
great value for the price 2008-06-26
We have gotten a lot of entertainment out of this camera, watching our cat while we're away from home. It took some work to figure out how to make port forwarding work with my Airport hub, but once I got that figured out, using the camera is very straightforward. I like that I can just plug it in anywhere in the house and rely on the wifi connection. At this price, I'm even considering buying a second one.
So So ...

For the most part, this product is and works as advertised. It was easy to setup and get going. Even streaming the video over the internet was very easy to do. I was however not very happy with the picture quality. It seamed a little too pixelated and dark. Also I highly recommend that if you are getting one of these, spend a little extra and get the one with sound built in. It's worth it.
Very Nice Internet Camera After You Stumble Through Setup 2008-05-05
I now own two TrendNet Cameras. One wireless and one wired. They work virtually the same and for my money, the wireless is the best buy. (and I just ordered another one).
PRO:
-The dynamic DNS feature makes it easy to publish to the web and view from anywhere.
-Alternate ports are nice and are essential for sharing multiple cameras from the same site.
-The user interface is not horrible, but includes very little help.
-I can't see any difference in performance/quality from wired/wireless.
-I love the automatic upload feature!
-Fairly good image quality (see CONS)
CONS:
-Very worthless user manual.
-No good explanation of some of the features/tools.
-You are on your own if you try to do something fancy. You can do great things, but it is by trial and error.
-If you are trying to monitor outside (through a window), the changes in shade/sunlight really aren't handled well. Hazy days look the best.
-The initial setup requires a lot of network knowledge unless you are using defaults on your router (192.168.0.x). WHY NOT JUST USE DHCP?!
-The wireless uses the same IP as wired and that is not explained anywhere.
A camera with a bad personality and poor work ethic. 2008-04-23
Some quick points:
I bought two of these and there is a marked difference in image quality between the two. One gives a very good quality image and the other one gives a very poor image. I picked these over linksys products based upon reviews giving them a more favorable image quality. Here I would just add caution that there is enough in product variability that such claims can not be reliably made.
for someone with experience setting up wireless cameras this may or may not be an easy setup. I don't fall into that category, and setup was laborious for me, and the written instruction provided by trendnet is poor. If you want to put positive spin on this, despite the inadequate instruction included by the manufacturer I was able to set up the cameras successfully after an hour or two with the aid of the internet. my take is that the setup is more problematic than it should be. below average.
my chief complaint about the camera is that it does not run like it should, and the included software is horrid. you have two means by which you can program the camera. the first is by connecting directly to its IP address and changing settings directly, and the second is by using the IPview software that is included. Honestly I do not know which one of these works, because in practice the camera only sporadically recognizes the changes. For instance you supposedly can control one of the two led lights on the front of the camera..off, on (blinks when camera is active), or dummy (blinks randomly). Thats an easy test, and the cameras largely fail to recognize the instruction. The most concerning problem i have with the camera is that the motion detection almost never works, and I'm beginning to wonder if the IPview software must be turned on to use this feature. A camera pointed at a door always fails to capture me entering or leaving...defeating the whole purpose. If i stand infront of the camera waving i do manage to get an image.
my experience has been below average, not to say that my results are representative. I am hopeful that with third party software these cameras can be converted into average preformers.
