4.0 out of 5 stars comparison of low and mid-range day/night q-see camera line, April 22, 2008
By HMMWV "(the real thing)" (santa clara, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Update 12-20-2008: This camera has been running flawlessly except for mother nature. It seems that spiders like the infrared light at night (I'm not an insect person but I know some insects can see IR light). As a result they tend to make webs over the lit area at night. The spider being so close to the camera looks like you are being robbed by king kong to your DVR and thus makes all night tapes of spider web weaving which are fun to watch in 16X speed but the reality is you must clean the lens once a month to maintain good night vision. Daytime it is not a problem.

Update 5-15-2008: This particular camera has been running for about 2 months now and faces the street where we have had a drug problem. Last night it caught the evicted drug dealer breaking into his old house to retreive forgotten property when the police escorted him out the first time. Since our neighborhood watch had been warned that the home should be vacant I noticed the movement across the street, called 911, and 2 minutes later the former problem was cuffed and stuffed into the squadcar for criminal trespass, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, violation of a restraining order, violation of an eviction order, and breaking and entering. We'll see him again in 5-10 years. Does the camera work at 100 feet in pitch black conditions? Yes. But a human pair of eyes was needed to resolve a man at night. The sony can see it w/o the help.

----------------original review below----------------


I bought both the bottom of the Q-see day/night camera line (this camera) and their mid-range unit (the 540 line resolution, 65 foot range for the night IR leds model Q-See QSB520SR Weatherproof Color High-Res Day/Night Camera Kit (540TVL) with 65-Feet Night Vision) I have them both hooked to a Q-see DVR recorder and there is a difference when I compare their pictures side by side on my DVR display. I hope these notes help people pick which one is best for their intended use.

This model is selling for $130 while the next step up listed above is $230 right now.

Pros ($130)

Cheapest day/night camera in q-see product lineup
LEDS provide a wide area of lighting that matches the lens field of view
Comes with a really long cable (100 feet+) and it runs power plus video
wide field of view lens covers a broad area without any fisheye distortion.
(cable is longer on this model than their more expensive model by about an extra 45 feet)

Cons ($130)

Lacks any zoom or focus control for the lens (present on the $230 version)
not as good of a mounting bracket as the $230 version
washed out picture compared to the Sony image sensor in the $230 camera
more picture noise at night compared to the Sony image sensor camera.
Less resolution than the $230 camera - picture is not as sharp

Summary -

I'm really nitpicking here - these are all small differences that separate the low end, mid range, and their high end camera (which amazon did not carry when I purchased them - the high end is just the mid range with higher power LEDS and a higher price tag in the $300's). All of them do what they say - they give you a picture day or night. Unlike other day/night cameras these provide color at night if enough light is present or black/white if using the LEDs. I prefer the color from the Sony image sensor, and I like the adjustable lens on the sony based camera. Is it worth another $100? That depends. Both cameras work well and do what they say - it's only when you put their pictures side by side that the quality difference is noticable.

I think both cameras have a use which is why I bought one of each and put them in different locations. If the tradeoff is quality vs. having more views of a building, then the less expensive camera wins because you can cover more doors and gates using them. On the other hand, if you already have Sony cameras in your security system, the extra $100 will make the q-see sony based mid-range model blend into your existing system better. Having a choice and knowing what you get or give up is important which is why we post reviews. I'm happy with both of my cameras in their applications and I won't change them out. If I buy another camera, I would consider it's use to decide which model to buy. The zoom lens on the $230 model q-see camera is nice for a long driveway, but a wide view of a close porch would probably best be served with one of the $130 models.

4.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT SECURITY CAMERA, October 27, 2007
Great picture night and day. If you want to get a picture of the bad guys that will stand up in court this is the one to buy. I've tried the lower resolution cameras and you can't get a good picture of their face. The only reason I didn't give this camera 5 stars is because it needs the ability to sense when security lights are on. The low light camera feature only turns off in daylight and floodlights tend to wash out anything light in color like faces and license plates. I plan on adding more of these cameras to my Q See DVR system because I've found that one camera isn't enough . I only have one camera now and I just came home to find my passenger side window smashed on my car. The perpetrator manage to stay out of sight of the camera.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Money, January 7, 2008
All I can say is, "Wow!" I have had many of those $30 big box, home center security cameras, and this beats them hands down. As I type this, I'm looking a full 120 feet out to the street in front of my house. It's dark outside, but the LED lighting system in the camera is flooding the entire view in IR light. We'll see how it holds up to Florida thunder storms this coming summer. If it does, I'll be buying 3 more! My only request from this manufacturer is that they incorporate sound into this model in the future.
