This camera is of good quality. The images are very sharp but the colors are faded. I contacted the seller for an explanation; Here's the response I received:Thank you for your business.
This camera is special designed for wide dynamic range for night vision. There is filter on the CCD chipset, which cause the color shift.
Color shift???? There are no adjustments to correct this defect. I was offered an exchange but decided to keep it.VideoSecu Wide Dynamic Range Security Camera 1/3" Pixim DPS Sensor 690TVL 6-15mm Varifocal Lens OSD Infrared Day Night Outdoor Weatherproof CCTV Home Surveillance CAG
This camera has both pros and cons. I decided to keep this camera which I had purchased for $119 + s&h.
Update: The picture shown does not reflect the item I purchased.The night vision is incredible; it is the same as daylight in brightness (because of its 36 IR Leds). Great resolution! The image quality is so good. It works without any problem. It works well and cost me a decent price and that's all I was asking for. I would buy again.VideoSecu Wide Dynamic Range Security Camera 1/3" Pixim DPS Sensor 690T is sharp but the video colors are off. colors are faded with a big clear bar in the top and bottom of the picture. but picture is still clear; night vision is great. That's what this camera is meant for night time. The focus and zoom are not really helpful. think it doesn't really work. turn zoom dont mess with any of the setting or the picture turn red. Would have return but i need a good night time camera. day time ok. Thanks Warehouseseller for your fast delivery and great price.The camera was used indoors had OK quality color, a pretty good wide angle and good night vision. However, it stopped working in 1 day. I really did not want to have to take it down I tried hooking it up to several different cables, but nothing worked. I filed online claim to have it replaced at Amazon but, I did not get a response from the seller the distributor of this brand. After a week I contacted them directly and they issued me an RMA and said I had to pay the shipping cost back. Then I decided to get a camera from someone else. They issued a refund less the shipping charges to me and said it was fine and complained that I did not return the screws and wall anchors! Would not buy again.The camera has a narrow field of vision even at the setting that gives the widest angle. I mounted the camera under the overhang on the front of my garage & it didn't offer enough coverage to be of any use. The $40 Clover camera it replaced was much better. At night the VideoSecu image was spotted with randomly shaped white patches. The lens was clean so the camera was obviously defective. I removed it, obtained an RMA, and sent it back. Not only did I have to pay the return shipping, I was also hit with a 15% restocking fee. How do you "restock" a defective camera? Their return policy apparently is not on Amazon. Only a message to "contact" the seller for information. Why can't they just put it in writing? I've since replaced the VideoSecu camera with a similar model from one of their competitors. It has an outstanding view angle and good night vision.
