This is a mid-sized unit which provides excellant IR night vision out to about 50 feet. The visual clarity is very good, both day and night. The focus is automatic and appears to work well.
I own three different IR cameras and this one is undoubtly the best of the three.I bought one of these to connect to a new averdigi card I purchased for my computer. To be honest, the motivation was that it had a Sony image sensor a good number of IR led's and one of the lowest prices I've seen. So far this camera has been excellent. It's not the sharpest resolution, and certainly doesn't compare to what you would get for a lot more money, but for a simple camera it's great.
The picture quality both day and night is good, body and mount are solid. You can see the IR LED's at night (faint red glow), but nothing obvious or distracting. I wish the mount had a little more movement, but you can make it do what you want for the most part.
The 3.6mm lens gives a nice wide view, even at close distances, excellent for an entry, which is what I'm using this one for.
So far it's been a good camera that I would recommend, and will personally be buying at least a couple more of.Video quality is avg. IR is good for 20ft then quickly disapates.
Placed order on 9-15 and finally received on 9-26.
I should get a refund on shipping?
Would recommend for non-critical areas that do not require high
definition. Seems durable and is easily installed.I purchased this camera for my DEFENDER security system. The original system was sold with only 4 cameras, by design.
I purchased an additional three low profile under eve mount for the front of the house. You would not notice them in the daytime unless you are looking for them.
At night, the infrared glows as a warning to anyone that needs to be warned. (My wife likes it that way). The final camera for the system is the VideoSecu above. This is a rather large outdoor camera (3X) as compared to the original Defender cameras. It appears sturdy and well made. The optics are as good as the original cameras with a wider field of view. The night performance is as good as most quality night (B&W) cameras.
The camera mount is very sturdy. The price with free shipping is very attractive. The VideoSecu cable is of better quality than most. The only reason I did not give this five star is that focal is not adjustable. This however is nit picking, as this camera is not advertized as an adjustable focal length camera.
VideoSecu will sell you one, if you need this feature.
