I have 4 of these cameras hooked to my Night Owl FS-84500. These are great cameras for the price. I love the wide angle view. The night vision is great. Pretty easy to install. I will buy more of these in the future. The video shows the night vision of this camera. I have these cameras hooked to a Night Owl FS84-500. This is not the camera that comes with the night owl. I bought these as an upgrade. I also added a microphone for audio.VideoSecu 1/3" SONY CCD Night Vision Security Camera Weatherproof 420TVL 30 IR LEDs 3.6mm Wide View Angle Lens, Pre-Amp Mini Hidden Microphone, Camera Extension Cable, Power Supply WAM

VideoSecu Outdoor Infrared Day Night Vision Home Security Camera Weatherproof 1/3" SONY Super HAD CCD 3.6mm Wide View Angle Lens 420TV Lines 30 IR LEDs A12About a year ago I bought a low-end 4-camera security system. 2 of the cameras have failed so far and a third one was starting to have problems. Since I'm near the end of my warranty, I decided to try a different brand for a replacement.
This one is fantastic I had to go outside after dark to be sure I didn't leave the lights on! It is so good that I just ordered another to keep on hand.
Also, the field of vision is very wide and shows most of my back yard from the single camera.
As an added bonus, I was able to use the mounting brackets and the wiring from my Q-See unit without any adapters.
Video uploaded was from an event captured in the daylight. Wish amazon would allow two videos to be posted so I can include both day/night footage. I have the video quality set at D1 using Night Owl Scorpion 168500 DVR which I have a total of 7 cameras splitting 240fps@CIF you can do your own math for D1 setting. The original night owl cameras (which lacked true color/missing green&yellow??) that came with system sucked so these were excellent upgrades. Anyway love the extended wide angle view I have two of these two cover the both sides of the front yard and one on the door to get a close up facial recognition of anyone who enters through front door.First, the camera came without the promised power supply. Amazon couldn't help -they said that the seller wouldn't respond.
So, I found out what power supply is required, and bought one, adding another eleven dollars to the cost.
The picture quality and sound were excellent, and continued to be so for the seven hours the camera lasted, before the picture turned to indistinguishable hash. I was so frustrated that I felt like dismounting the camera with a baseball bat.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS CAMERA OR THIS SELLER.Bought this camera, after one of my Lorex cameras (from QLR464 kit) stopped working. Both cameras have 3.6 mm lens. During day I couldn't see image quality difference between VisdeoSecu and Lorex. The field of view (FOV) was significantly bigger (I guess it is about 90 degrees diagonal) for VideoSecu. This was expected for larger CCD sensor (1/3 versus 1/4 for Lorex). VideoSecu night image is much better than that of Lorex. Of course, it is still grainy, but noise is much less and more details are noticeable. I think that VideoSecu is a great camera for $40.
