TIPS IN SETTING UP YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
Please find the below handy setup tips for your security system
- For best results do NOT point the camera towards a light source such as the sun or light.
- Also do not have the camera in a shaded area looking out into a well lit area as this will display poor results. Example: If the camera is hidden in a mailbox, because the mailbox is dark inside the camera sensor will try to adjust according to the available light. But if outside the mailbox there is good light like sunshine, you will get poor results. The light to the camera sensor in the front of the camera needs to be the same as the light at the focal target for best results.
- Power for Wired and Wireless Cameras, both types of cameras require a power source, although the camera maybe weatherproof the connections to the AV cable and power adapter are not. Please make sure that these connections are in a water or moisture free environment.
- Over time the lens or front case glass may become dirty, please use a lint free cloth to clean both. Similar cloth that would be used to clean a CD Disc.
- Power adapters: all power adapters are for indoor use only and must be shielded from outdoor elements. When using an outdoor camera, please use extension cords to power the camera and keep cables away from the outdoor elements.
- When installing the camera, before screwing in the mounting bracket, check the image on the screen to see if the picture is clear from direct sun or light.

Only for low-traffic areas,

This review is from: Swann SW211-DPE Digital Private Eye with SD Card (Electronics)
I got the camera and installed it in 2 minutes. It definitely writes images to the SD card. The image is very clear. However, it saves one picture per second! That means it will fill up any card quickly. Even more, it saves all images to only one folder, and I found it limited to 10,000 images, which means 2 hours and 45 minutes only. Even worse, it doesn't save any timestamp on the pictures, so there's no way to tell when they were taken.
A good idea, but poorly implemented. If you could change the picture delay to 3 or 5 seconds, and include a timestamp, this would be a winner.

Good idea, poorly executed,
This review is from: Swann SW211-DPE Digital Private Eye with SD Card (Electronics)
Bought the unit thinking it was a good idea which it is. Stand alone unit only needs power and saves all the images to an SD card.
The bad: - only accepts up to 1 gb SD card. It takes too many pictures and will fill up the memory card in no time. - battery only lasts 3-8 hours. So you would have to check on it often. - Poor camera if object is in motion. Images are a blur, only very still items are in good quality. - SD card sticks out of side. Anyone can see it, and supect it and also take the SD card!! should have been located in the back out of sight. - price is a bit high for such a poor quality item. might as well invest in a real camera system. - indoor only. plastic construction feels flimsy.

This review is from: Swann SW211-DPE Digital Private Eye with SD Card (Electronics)
I have more than one cat and I needed to find out who was doing that in our house.
It's a little difficult to set it up for the "catch". The instructions say the infra-red sensor has a 15 foot sensitivity range so you have to be kind of close. The camera will see farther than that but, the sensor has a much wider field of sensitivity than the camera does a view. I got a lot of pictures of nothing as a result. The sensor was being triggered by things the camera couldn't see. A lot of pictures of nothing is kind of hard to go through. I mean one night I got well over 2000 pictures (a point on the plus side there) but fully 75% of them were empty. At any rate, I caught the little guy and old grey got his nose rubbed in it that time. Picture quality is acceptable. No problem with the SD Card. Had to rig up my own holding device as the bracket included is a little limiting to work with but, you know, for the price, it did the job. When not needed to catch culprits, the camera also works as a web cam so... Can't complain. I got what I needed.
