We decided to buy a surveillance camera after my mom's car kept getting vandalized and flat tires. We didn't have much money. and after looking here on Amazon. This camera seemed like the best choice..
The package came with the camera, an 100 foot cable,and manual..The picture quality is very very good for a $40 camera. The picture is very clear during the day. and still pretty good during nighttime. You just need to angle the camera right. We took the spring off of our window and left the window open a crack so we can point the camera facing outside towards our car. With the spring in the way nothing was visible. which was a disappointment
Another disappointment was that the camera isn't very discreet. I thought,yeah it looks a little big,but we can probably hide it pretty well. We can hide it pretty well,but red little lights shine off of it(they're on the lens). This can be kind of obvious especially at night time.
The good this is you can connect the camera into any TV with RCA inputs. Or you can do it the way I do and plug it into a capture card and record onto your computer.The cheapest capture card your can get is $9 off of ebay. I recommend this setup for anyone low on cash & looking for a surveillance camera.
Easy cap comes with recording software for your computer.First install the easy cap on to your computer. After, plug the camera's output cables into the easy cap and record. We do this over night. you can set the video quality to be good or a lower resolution (to save up computer space since the files are big). We then look through the videos the next day and delete them off of our computer.
The mic on the cam works good. But I can't really say much else about it. Easy cap doesn't capture the sound well. that seems to be the worst down side to it.
Decent camera for 40 dollars.
If I ever get a chance to. I will upload video quality of the camera so you all can get a look.

This security camera does a good job for the money. I actually mounted it indoors to monitor the main living space of our home with a digital DVR programed in motion detection mode. The picture quality is okay for what I need it to do, easy to recognize people, but the colors are washed out, and I would be a lot happier if this unit had a better wide angle view. The night vision works really well with my application, probably due to the limitation of the indoor space, but the microphone is really weak, have to turn the system volume almost all the way to hear. All in all I'm happy with this product (you get what you pay for). I'm thinking about getting another one for the patio area, the unit is pretty well built, I believe it would work well outdoors. As always Amazons price and service is great, gotta like that free shipping.

This is a good cam for the price. The only down fall is it only has about 60 degrees of veiw. If you plan on putting this somewhere and you want to see up close do not get it. five feet infront of my truck and all you can see is the windshield. If i point it at the house next door( about 200ft) you can see there whole house and yard.

Average
The image on the website made me interpret the camera to look larger than the camera actually is. It's quite small which I actually preferred. It's light. Read more

Poor video quality...
Sometimes you get a bargain, sometimes you really do get what you pay for. This camera is an example of the latter.
The biggest issue is with the light sensor. Read more
