1.0 out of 5 stars P-O-O-R Image Quality!!!!!!!, July 17, 2007
I purchased 3 of these cameras to go with a Q-See 4-channel PCI card. I set up all three on my office desk, under good lighting. One camera has a decent image, one camera has a poor image, and the image from the third camera is so washed out that it is practically useless. The night vision feature allows you to make out shapes from very close range, but not much else. Even on the "decent" camera, the color is poor. Prior to this purchase, I was looking at some demo systems at Sam's club, and the image quality with these cameras is much, much worse than even the entry-level, bargain cameras that were being demonstrated. I would recommend that you keep looking for a better camera, as this one has a poor picture quality.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not recommended, even at this price, July 18, 2007
By Wayne "Omegafiler" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I purchased 3 of these cameras at about $50 each along with the Q-See 4 Channel PCI card. It includes a nice long 60ft of cable. The power is run through the same thin cable so you just need the AC adapter connected at the source (ie your PC or DVR). The AV cable is not BNC - it uses your typical RCA Yellow/Red/White cable for video/power/audio (mono), in that order. The resolution is also only a somewhat low 380 lines of resolution - but the price is also a somewhat low $50. :)

The idea was to use them for outdoor day/night video surveillance - just to keep on eye on things. The problem is that they have an absolutely horrible picture quality. Even if you want to see what's going on, it is barely acceptable. And if you plan on recording - don't waste your time.

2 of the 3 cameras were actually defective. 1 camera had a red tint out of the box. The 2nd camera would never get out of night vision mode. The last camera worked "as designed." It just wasn't designed very well. I even tried using it at close range and indoors, no luck. If you have very good lighting, no glare at the camera, etc - it should work "OK."

The problem is that you are going to have various lighting conditions and the camera needs to adapt. Even night vision is useless. Anything beyond 4 or 5 ft and it's just a blur. Night vision is also in B&W - which is typical of most night vision cameras.

Pros:

* Inexpensive
* Can record audio
* Nice long A/V cable
* 6mm Lense for a wide viewing angle

Cons:

* Low reliability
* Poor picture quality
* Limited night vision range
* Can't really be used for surveillance or monitoring.

While this is a cheap day/night camera, if it doesn't work as advertised, I simply cannot recommend it. Perhaps if you could find it really cheap and use it in a well lit indoor area, it might be worth considering. My suggestion is to simply step up to the higher-end q-see camera that DOES work - it just costs twice as much. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid Camera, January 3, 2007
By CrimsonOgre (Sacramento CA) - See all my reviews
I am running 16 of these cameras of which 12 are outside. The picture is really good considering the cost of the cameras ($50.00-$60.00 each) and the IR functions works well. I am running a 18 camera transformer to power them, and so far it has been great.
Pros:
* Small and easy to mount
* Easy connections for non tech savy individuals (RCA)
* Solid construction
* Picture quality is good for the cost of the camera
* IR function works well

Cons:
* Swivel on camera base does not hold the camera in place out of the box. There is a small phillips head screw that needs to be tightened on the swivel shaft for it to hold in place correctly.
* The holes on the mounting base are small in diameter. I redrilled the holes so I could use a better style screw to mount the cameras.
* The cameras flicker and flash a little bit in low light or over cast weather when it is stuck between standard running mode and IR. They also alternate between color and black and white for the same reason in the same conditions.

I have used several other cameras and for the money these have been the best. The picture quality is comparable to the cameras I am running at my office that were much more expensive. Great entry level camera for either a door camera or camera server setup.
