5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful, August 19, 2008

By	hrtf - See all my reviews

great quality/sharpness/color, can easily see individual leaves blowing in yard from 20-30 feet. latest version of camera doesn't have a microphone and IR leds have been replaced with black plastic pieces.

make sure to focus camera (twist lens) for best picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little camera, June 13, 2008

By	Ouachita Mike "Cabin Guy" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews

This small camera worked great out of the box. I set it up in our vacation cabin and it gives a nice view of the whole room. I connected it to an inexpensive video capture card and will be able to access it via [...] via the internet (we have Hughes Satellite internet). I will be able to check the cabin from home to make sure that everything is alright. I may purchase more of these to put at the front door and other locations. For the money you can't beat this camera. I'm not sure how well it will work out for an outdoor location, but I am pleased with the indoor picture-it looks much like a picture that you see from security cameras, certainly not high resolution, but for money I don't think you will find a better bargain.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not as small as led to believe No Tech Details Yet, June 6, 2008

By	ElectoEverything - See all my reviews

I received this 6/3/2008. It was $16.99. The weight is about 2x as a
normal plastic camera. The stainless steel might have some advantage.
It's more durable do a hard knock but while plastic might bend and come
back this would dent. I can't see an advantage to stainless case.

LENS
The lens was so very tight when I got it. It appeared to be cross
threaded. I could not turn it by hand being a strong man it worried me.
Using a thick soft cloth between a pair of slip joint water pliers it
was easy to turn and then was loose. It was simply stuck. It turns
fine now. A sping keeps tension on the lens so it stays where you setit.

VIDEO QUALITY
I have no info yet. Will update you if I can.

POWER REQUIREMENTS
This came with a 9 volt adapter plug and a power supply of 12 volts at 100ma. The unit has 6 IR leds. The fact that they don't have an off
switch nor do I think they shut off in daylight since I see no sensor
makes me think they waste power if you're running from a 9v battery.

9v battery is about 300mah. So this means it will run 3 hours before you
can't use it. The leds probably add 30ma or more to the power
draw. More would be my guess otherwise they would not be useful past a
few inches.

HACKING:
If you want to take apart the camera there are 2 Phillips screws in the
back to facilitate this. While the LEDS would be on the other side of
any circuit board there might be a wire or other easy method to turn them
off to save power when on battery.

If you do open it as I might let's put up the video or images. I can make
an animated gif if you like.
