I recently upgraded all my cameras in my business to these (I previously had the Swann B&Ws which lasted without problems for 6 years). An excellent color camera for this price range - much better picture quality than many of the others (Q-see!) of similar cost.

It is very small and discreet and my B&W Swanns were very reliable for a long time. Very easy to connect and produces a very good quality picture. Only issues - (1) definitely needs a lighted area - don't try in darkened areas - (2) not a real wide angle on the lens(although changeable lenses are available like the wide angle and the fisheye - though not cheap!) - (3) audio mic is not great.

Still a very good camera for the price. A reasonable quality option for home and small business.

This camera is useless unless you are right in front of it and even then the picture is just mediocre. Definitely not usable for security purposes.

I like the little camera from Swann. It gives a nice video picture. I plan to use it with my Earth-Moon-Earth dish to communicate with other amateur radio opearators via signals off the moon. The camera will sit in the middle of the dish to help me point at the moon. I will also be using it to measure sun noise so have rigged up some welders glass infront of the camera to look at the sun.
