We have 6 of this cameras installed in my store. The other ones are Swan cameras. We like this cameras much more. They're easy to use, simple to set up and generally offer good quality at a reasonable price. We really found that there was very little to dislike about this camera, especially compared to the Swan cameras.Of primary importance in a camera is the quality of its images. While we weren't blown away by the video quality, it is more than acceptable. The image was sharp and clear, retaining focusing all the way into the far distance. One slight disappointment was the colour balance, which isn't perfect, but this matters very little for a surveillance camera. The most impressive feature was the infrared night vision. The camera automatically detects when light levels drop and switches on a powerful array of LEDs. These are able to illuminate the entire field of vision, something that other infrared cameras have failed to do. Videosecu Bullet Outdoor CCD Security Camera Day Night 26 IR Infrared LEDs With Free Power Supply 1Z8
so far this unit is working great, easy to setup and solid metal case suitable as a outdoor camera. It also has a "cap" cover useful for rainy days. The wiring might need to be made a little bit longer. It's a great value product.
Pros: Clear picture, both in color(daytime)& in B/W (nightime).
Strong infrared LED's, nightime vision 40+ ft.
Well built. Good bracket.
Price.
Cons: Audio would be nice.
From experience I can tell you that for the price you will not find a better product, so much so that after receiving this camera just yesterday I ordered a second one today.
This camera is about 1/3 the size of my other CCTV camera but looks exactly the same otherwise.
I set up both cameras on my DVR and let them record all night long. The next day I reviewed the video and the only difference I noticed was this camera recorded a "little" bit darker due to having a few less LED infrared lights (26 as opposed to 30).
I unboxed the camera, screwed on the base, connected the RCA cables and attached it to my DVR in under 5 minutes and it was recording. Has a nice wide field of view. Due to the fact this camera comes bundled with an AC power adapter this is a really great deal. Solidly built and works very well.
I may post some video in the future. Highly recommended. Don't let the small size fool you because it is VERY small.
For such a low price, this is an excellent product with infrared (IR) wavelength 850nm. Note that the IR 850nm shows visible red dots at night. I tried to use IR 940nm, which is invisible by human eyes at night, but it did not work. It only senses infrared wavelength 940nm as a very weak light emitting from IR illuminator. Perhaps I need other kinds of IR camera for 940nm.
one can spend a lot more money for a cctv camera and not get a whole lot better product...this is a great camera for the money, decent night vision and good day vision. i'd have no problem using these in any installation that doesn't require motion, or extremely high resolution...
They been working good inhone, in the summer I hade it facing out the window and it's night infrared worked about 25 ft, needs to be up against the window so the LCDs do not shine back, for the money thet are good
This camera is hard to beat for the money. Works great right out of box. I wanted surveillance for front door, this fits the bill perfectly. Image is sharp & clear. I considered another brand from another source but decided on this one. I couldn't be more satisfied & happy with my choice. For my purpose this is the one.
Don't let the small size and price fool you! This little powerhouse is up to the task! Great picture quality and small size is only two of it's best qualities. Night vision is acceptable considering the relatively small number if IR's at 26. Installation is a snap! Completely weather proof...has handled Florida storms and humidity with nary a burp! A must buy! My next camera will also be by Videosecu but will be Model WA4, Need the extra IR range (56 IR's) and the mic (questionable neighbors!) Little more money but the mic, 50 cable and power supply is included.'
