Zoom Telephonics X5V ADSL Gateway Router w/VoIP Phone & USB Ports

Product Description

The ADSL X5v integrates a full-rate ADSL modem, router, firewall, four-port 10/100 Ethernet switch, USB port, and VoIP phone port into a single cost-effective product.The Model 5565 has a special Local Phone port that lets you use your standard single-line phone for conventional phone calls or free and very low-cost Voice Over IP (VoIP) calls. Because the X5v integrates Internet telephony with a full featured ADSL gateway, setup is easy and system security is ensured. Integration of the voice processing with the firewall and the router ensures reliability of VoIP calls and reduces service provider support requirements. The X5v also comes with the Global Village VoIP phone service that sets up in minutes and lets you simply dial phone numbers and make free calls to devices like the X5v anywhere in the world. And because the X5v uses SIP, the most popular protocol for voice communications over the Internet, you can tap into a rapidly-growing world of free and very low-cost phone services. The X5v's built-in four-port Ethernet switch eliminates the need for a separate Ethernet hub for most home networks and many small offices. The USB port allows direct connection of a fifth computer to the ADSL X5v. By adding external hubs or a wireless access point, the X5v can provide simultaneous Internet access for up to 253 computers.The Local Phone port of the Model 5565 includes an intelligent relay that allows a single phone to place and receive both VoIP calls and calls over the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). PSTN Fail-Over allows the X5v to automatically route calls over the dial-up phone network when power is lost. PSTN support also allows emergency dialing using services like 911 or 112 calling.Setup is easy using any authorized local or remote computer's Web browser and the graphical user interface built into the X5v. Flash memory allows easy firmware updates, including additions to the voice compression codecs.

Great bargain if you need DSL Modem and VoIP.......2005-09-08

Bought the X5V as a backup for my X5. Both wife and I work at
home, so if part of our network goes out, we're hurting.
Th X5V has very similar setup to X5. Even the setup for Global Village
VoIP account was straightforward. The "Global Village Choice" plan
is a pay as you go plan with no minimum usage per month. US rates
are 2.9 cents/minute and international rates are similarly
cheap. Voice quality is excellent. Global Village offers
a $24.95 unlimited usage option also.

The firewall/router features of the modem work great for
a home networking situation. The status screens identifying
ADSL signal strength and error rates work great for diagnosing
in-house wiring problems or (DSL supplier issues).

A great product for someone who needs a new ADSL modem and
would like to try out VoIP services. The price is only
a few bucks higher than Zoom's X5 which does not have the
VoIP features.

You aren't even locked into Global Village as a VoIP provider.

Bad product; Non existing customer service.......2007-04-13

I bought this product from Amazon in February 2007, and have since regretted my purchase. To begin with, I could not get the product to work. I could see that packets were being sent and received but I could not get to the internet. Over a period of 3 days, I called up customer service around 12 times. Every time, I had to wait 10 minutes and then had to leave a message. However, I never got a call back. I finally called up AT&T and the technician there helped me navigate the product even though this is not one of the products they support.
I finally did get the modem working, but once every few days, it stopped working and I had to reboot the modem everytime. After 6 weeks of suffering through the product, I have decided to return the product for a refund. Based upon my experience, I would not advise anyone to buy this product.

Neat product.......2007-03-08

Typical sip adapter with good audio quality.

Cons:
1. the shipped firmware 1.5.1 doesnt allow voip services other than global village to accept an incoming call. Had to downgrade the firmware to 1.2.2 to make that feature work
2. When someone is on the pstn you cant pick up the voip phone. Had to force the box to voip only mode.

Very good perfromace... until mysterious death.......2006-01-17

This modem died after just under 4 months of use.
It is a bit tricky to configure. Also you have to install software on the computer you plug directly to the moden by LAN cable to configure it(which i think is ridiulous for a modem router). But once done, it performed very well..
It demise came in the form of sudden continuous and simultaneously flashing USB and ADSL lights... Link lights won't light up when a cable is plugged in... not even pressing the reset button or unplug/replug the power adapter helped. Its doom was confirmed by live support from zoom.com

I'm not sure i'd by zoom again. The configuration hitch, its rather tough interface and its short lifespan are too much for me.

Excellent !.......2005-05-19

It's nice to get something that's easy to set-up and does what the manufacturer claims it will do !
I am using this with both PowerLine and Wireless access points.
Got it working as fast as I could plug in the wires.

A very good modem for your adsl service.......2005-03-29

I have been using this modem about 3 months now with the ADSL service provider in Costa Rica. It has worked very well and even for weeks of being continuously turned on and receiving data. Automatically assigns IP addresses, splits the traffic equally among the network, supports normal and cross-over cables, can work as an usb 10 mbit Ethernet card for a PC with USB and without a network card, has an included firewall and gateway. The price is really great for the things it has. The only problem was at configuration, but a hard reset seemed to fix it.

Product Description

The VECTIS WEATHERMATIC incorporates powerful features to support outdoor activities. This new model has a 1.7X zoom with a 30-50mm focal length range (approx. 38-63 mm in the 35mm format) that can be used even underwater. The camera also offers underwater autofocus. Whether shooting on land or underwater, the images captured by the VECTIS WEATHERMATIC are sharp and beautiful. In addition, the VECTIS WEATHERMATIC is submersible to 10m deep and can be used carefree for snorkeling and other marine sports. Moreover, the shock-resistant performance of the VECTIS WEATHERMATIC is higher than conventional cameras for worry-free use during skiing, trekking, and other outdoor activities. Thanks to the Advanced Photo System, the print size can be selected from three options. In addition, the Drop-in Loading feature offers simplified film loading. Finally, the camera provides a positive grip to secure good focus on unstable footholds.

Amazon.com Product Description

Take Minolta's Vectis Weathermatic Zoom snorkeling, skin diving, boating, or to the pool. This camera is completely watertight and durable. Shock-resistant materials and a double-thick outer shell, front cover, and rear cover make it ideal for outdoor use. It is also bright yellow, making it easy to spot and retrieve if it falls overboard.

The above- and underwater auto focusing system features passive phase detection which determines its focus based on subject contrast. Since there are no infrared beams to get lost in the water, this type of auto focusing system can focus accurately underwater. The Vectis Weathermatic also offers 26mm long eye relief that allows the user to view the whole image an inch away from the viewfinder eyepiece. This is especially useful if you are wearing goggles or eyeglasses.

The Vectis Weathermatic features all you've come to expect from an Advanced Photo System camera: drop-in film loading, three print options, and date/time imprinting. It also detects whether an exposed film cassette has been inserted into the camera, preventing double exposure. The built-in flash features full auto, manual fill, cancel, and night portrait modes, plus a selectable red-eye reduction lamp.

Customer Reviews:

works great.......2007-06-22

I bought this camera in October 1999, and it still works great. I have used it while snorkeling in Hawaii, Tonga, Fiji, Greece, and Australia. The seals are still good. The zoom is really handy. And it takes good pictures on land too (although I use my digital camera for land shots). The APS film is really handy (just drop it in the slot, and it's ready). Just be sure to take an extra battery with you on vacation in case the battery in the camera gives out (true for any camera). The flash works well underwater and on land. It's important to read the instructions before taking underwater pictures; they give important tips on taking pictures successfully.

Best underwater camera around.......2006-10-06

My Vectis has been through thick and thin with me and never let me down. It was expensive at the time I bought it (1999) but the pictures it has taken are priceless and it still performs like a champ. I've decided to retire mine and take the plunge with a digital but would replace it if I could find one for a reasonable price. They seem to be hard to come by anymore. Im guessing people like myself just keep them until they fall apart.

Good service.......2006-08-08

I have had my Minolta Vectis Weathermatic for about 4 years and have used it mainly when sailing and around boats and beaches. It always produces good shots and has never let me down. I am on my 3rd battery which I think is pretty reasonable. I like it because it is chunky and solid and can take the knocks and drops. I have never used it underwater but it shrugs off immersion in waves and sitting on (and in) a hot, sandy beach.
I am looking at a digital camera (maybe the Olympus waterproof/shockproof) for the convenience and smallness of digital but am not sure that it will match my Vectis.
Bill Giles

Highly recommended.......2004-10-23

I have owned this camera for 5 years now and it's been through the ringer and is still in great shape. The key is to rinse it off and keep it clean especially after salt-water use. The picture quality is great underwater as well as land use.

Caveat emptor.......2003-06-07

This camera has had a recurring problem wherein the "replace battery" icon flashes and the camera will not allow us to take any more photos - even after replacing the battery. This camera was purchased for vacation photos and three times now it has malfunctioned and needed repairs during the vacation, effectively making it useless. The zoom feature was previously repaired under warranty after minimal use. It took 3 months for Minolta to return the camera on that occasion. Our experience may or may not be rare, but it was bad enough to dissuade another purchase from Minolta.
