This review is from: Lorex CVC6998HR High Resolution Weatherproof Color Surveillance Camera w/150ft. Night Vision (Electronics)

I'm shocked at the quality considering I was told not to buy the "big box store" brand of surveillance cameras. This was once a $200 camera so I figure I'd give it a try. Plus it already comes with 60ft of cord.

Picture: This camera has a very nice picture during the day but the highlight for me and why I bought it was for at night where I can clearly see everything. My target area is pitched black and you can barely see your feet underneath you, but with this camera I can see everything down to the termite bait stations inground. And to think that I was going to put up a motion spotlight to "help aid" the camera see better at night. pfft

View: This is the part where you must know what you want in a surveillance camera. For me this Lorex CVC6998HR model is set up to get close up body shots of my monitoring area, while a separate wide angle camera records the wider aerial shot of the area. This camera has a 1/4 chip with a fixed 8mm lens so the shot will be somewhat tight depending on what you wish to monitor. Within my target viewing area I can clearly see a person's face, clothes, etc. With this camera you can reasonably monitor an area 15ft +/- wide while the length of the shot depends on how you angle the camera. I was able to see over 100 feet down the strip while fooling around. I personally think this would also make a good camera for a long narrow alley or side parking lot. It is possible to view a larger area with this camera, however you'd need to mount it pretty high and far away(at least 75ft away) from the area you want to monitor which would then eliminate it as a zoomed shot surveillance camera. However, If at the end of the day what you really need is a wide shot then this is not the camera for that job. Wide angle camera lens will probably be 4mm or less with a lot of people using 3.6mm cameras for wider shots.

Durability: Time will tell
Price: Look around as this camera can be had locally for $100 after rebates.

Very clear visual. Daytime is the best with the view in color, but night is also very clear and the view is black and white. A great buy, now I want to change all my cameras to this model
