VideoSecu 700TVL IR Outdoor Security Camera Built-in 1/3" SONY Effio CCD Weatherproof Day Night Vis

Ahhhhh China. I must visit that place someday. While I'm there, I'll take this camera back. Buying a security camera is like buying a mattress there's a million models and everybody who buys one thinks it's great. My point is: you can't trust reviews. So you'll probably take this one with a grain of salt too. I have been doing video surveillance installations for about 5 years (I have been in the data / I.T./ Low voltage wiring trade for 20 years) and have used a variety of entry level cameras ($150 or less). So here's my honest professional opinion of this camera. Pros: The color rendering was good and it appears to have the stated resolution and lens. Cons: The mount won't allow the camera to tilt to compensate for a compound angle (can't fix the horizon line). The mount doesn't protect the camera cable. Night vision is atrocious 15 feet at best. It should be priced at about $59.99 retail. Please don't buy this. Thanks

Actually I didn't read where the camera goes to black and white at night.Although the black and white is cystal clear it makes no attempt to go to color with any light source. During the day the wide angle lense offers a sensational wide view of whatever you point it at with crisp colors and great view. This camera make no mistake about it is everything the ad says. This is my first day so I am hoping it continues to operate as stated.

I purchased this unit mostly because of the wide angle and the high res features. I'm using it to monitor my driveway and it's doing just the job I hoped it would do. It does a fair job with IR, and very clear picture. Will likely buy another one for another use. Note that it does not come with long wires. The power supply is about 5' and that's it. Likely you'll need to explore some kind of cord to get the video output where you need it. I'm only rating it as four stars because I've not used it long enough to rate it higher...so far, so good.

I had 3 wide-angle black & white cameras on my home video surveillance system that I wanted to upgrade. I decided to order one of these cameras to try. The resolution is not outstanding, but is much better than my old cameras and much nicer to be in color. I imagine the electronics in my DVR have some bearing on what the final resolution looks like on the monitor.

What I am most amazed by is the performance at night. I have one camera mounted in a side yard of my house. At night the yard almost looks like it's daytime. Two other cameras cover large lawn areas. I would say that, if it was not for the fact that the cameras are pointed downward because they are wide-angle, they would probably illuminate out to nearly 100 feet.

I noticed one of the other reviews made a negative comment about the picture at night not being in color. It is important to realize that images from a camera that sees in infrared will only be in black & white. The camera has a light sensor which obviously switches it to infrared when it gets dark.

As far as construction quality, I have no complaints. After I bought the first camera, I bought 2 more. It's nice to sit at my desk at night and be able to see the areas that my cameras cover. I am quite happy with this new addition to my home surveillance system.

I have three different camera's on my system, and this one out performs them all. Very good low light, the 26 LED's seem much brighter than the others which have more LED's. I'll eventually replace the others with this model.
