If you are looking for one of these, I'll trust you know a bit about CCTV cameras and just cover several points about this camera I thought stood out:

The camera housing is basically very solid all-metal construction, with all the joints tightened by a hex key. The CCD produces a very sharp image and is very sensitive to light. The nighttime performance is excellent due to the powerful LEDs and the CCDs ability to make the best of any nearby light source. The camera also comes with its own 100' cable lead, which is a DIN-6 with a nice weatherproof rubber boot on it ending in a split BNC and power lead. The cable quality is quite good, at least after 100' it went into the DVR and produces a clean and noise-free image.

Also present are both manual focus and zoom. It easily goes from a telephoto to wide angle image with a simple twist. The manual mentions locking screws for these, but on my model there were no locking screws. So one must be careful of the focus when adjusting zoom or handling the camera to change its position.

In the end, I'm quite pleased with it. This replaced a Swann Super Night Owl 105 that performed inadequately - noisy image, bad focus, bad sensitivity, and LEDs that could not reach even half of the advertised distance.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money!, August 23, 2009

I found the images produced by this camera to be exceptionally poor for the money. Quality was so bad you couldn't recognize a person from 15 feet away. Returned within 24 hours for a refund!

This camera works great at night, however for what the camera costs, it should have been equipped with audio also. When I bought it I made the mistake of assuming that audio was included in the whole package. Please change the advertisement so other clients will know that it has no audio connection.
