After wasting time and money with the cheaper Q-See cameras, I decided to order one of these QS2350C outdoor cameras. Then bought another one. And then one more, for a total of 3. Needless to say, I'm very pleased with not only the picture quality, but the build quality of the camera itself. The cameras are being used with (2) 4-Channel Q-See PCI cards. The camera includes mounting hardware as well as 60ft of BNC video cable. No audio functionality. It uses BNC at both ends of the cable, so we were able to extend the one in the backyard to 120ft. However, the power cable is attached to the camera, and is only about 3ft in length. So you will need to get power to the camera wherever you decide to mount it.

The picture quality is excellent. Night vision also work quite well (B&W) so that you can actually see what is going on even when the sun is gone. Thanks to a low lux rating, the camera is able to remain in day time mode even when there is minimal lighting - which obviously provides the best possible picture. Even a dim light nearby is sometimes enough for it to go into day time mode.

Also thanks to the excellent mount and hardware, you have many options as to how you want to mount the camera - as long as it's outdoors. While you could put it indoors, I think it might stand out a bit too much. Besides, thanks to it's built-in Heater/Blower, it was meant to be outdoors. I haven't seen ours kick in yet though. It's still summer time.

Pros:

* Excellent picture quality (420 lines and 1/3 CCD)
* Very functional night vision mode (tested at over 100ft)
* Great build quality of camera/mount.
* Long 60ft BNC cable - easily expandable.
* The way the camera looks is probably the best deterrent to crime.

Cons:

* Separate power cable required (Power cable won't detach from the camera itself.)

Bottom line. If you are serious about a usable day/night video surveillance system at your house/small business and want to be able to record what you see - this is the one to get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Q-See QS2350C Color CCD Camera, August 24, 2008

I am purchasing another one of these as i write this. The simple
statement of " works as advertised " doesn't begin to cover this
product.
As the owner of numerous Panasonic and Sony cameras, this one is
certainly worth the price.
Another customer wrote about the appearance of the unit alone as a
deterrent to would-be crooks and bad guys is true.
This camera will certainly get peoples attention, so if you are
concerned about irritating your neighbors, i would place it in an
less noticeable location ! As for the interference it creates, as
one reviewer noted, i haven't seen any evidence of this. Also have
checked with my neighbors about any possible problems and have not
heard anything negative. ( i have one that will complain about
everything--no matter what, as I'm sure many of you who read this
do too !.)
All in all a great little addition to any security system. S. Dunn

I have this camera for allmost 2 weeks hookup and it is working fine.
The night shot is one of the best I ever saw, (up to 15 meters). The downpoint is
I needed to buy a extension cord for the power, but for the rest is a greate product
for the price, I will buy 2 more.
