4.0 out of 5 stars Great quality, January 17, 2008

By	Paul G. Ziegler "Aquaskiier" (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased 2 other night vision cameras and was disappointed. I spent the extra money to buy this camera and was very impressed with the picture quality. I can see across my street at night with no problem. The night vision picture is very clear and bright. During the day it is so clear it's like looking out a window.
I didn't give it 5 stars for one reason. The price is great but it does not include the power supply cord or any cable. That's just a ridiculous way to sell this item. It's like selling a car without the keys included. It costs $25 for the power adaptor and another $25 for cable and connectors, not to mention a trip to Radio Shack.
Also, you need to take it apart to focus the lens after you set it up. There were no directions in the box to tell you how to do that so I had to call the company.
I would still buy it again (I'm recommending it) but let the buyer beware that you need to spend at least $50 additional in order to hook it up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not a toy camera like others for higher prices! Built big and to last!!, March 13, 2008

By	Amberman (Mid-Atlantic - U.S.) - See all my reviews

This camera is definitely superior over all others i've seen in both price and quality.

There is a BNC female connector on the back plate (male BNC adapters for RCA cables are available at Radio Shack, as is the 12v power converter. Save more money and time. Positive polarity.)

I noticed the camera rattling and loose inside. If your camera begins to rattle, open up the back plate and carefully remove the whole assembly - with the plate-attached metal stair-step stand that supports the camera. You can adjust the stand by twisting any loose columns. But be careful not to unfocus the camera.

Do not try to open the front of the camera, unless you absolutely have no choice - like to replace the IR ring!

The IR ring (infra-red led lights attached to a curcuit board) is held in place separately in the front of the camera with a small white pin connector with wire leads to the camera board. This is convenient because when the IR leds may burn out after a few years, you can just disconnect and replace the ring for cheap.

The sun shade slides only if the front and back end screws are loosened. At the top-back of the camera, there are 2 built-in screw fittings that confused me at first. (Be sure to refer to the picture here that shows how the wall connector is put together, or you will become frustrated since there are no instructions or diagrams on how to use the supplied hardware.) Do not try to move the angle of the shade, since the only way it moves is from front to back on slides.

The reason this or most surveillance cameras on the market today do not have any audio is because the public privacy law has changed to make eavesdropping illegal in many states. But if you are so inclined, find mini-microphones, transmitters and receivers on the hobby shop sites selling motorized airplanes that employ digital cameras. You might find better prices for mini-box color cameras as well with portable power supplies.

Enjoy!
