I have this camera for allmost 2 weeks hookup and it is working fine.The night shot is one of the best I ever saw, (up to 15 meters). The downpoint isI needed to buy a extension cord for the power, but for the rest is a greate productfor the price, I will buy 2 more.
I know Q-see makes a good product. No bracket or hardware. is ACTUALLY in the box. did not open this box until almost three weeks later as I was installing cameras one at a time. more to follow.as I see how Amazon handles the missing parts. and the box was sealed.
contacted Amazon. For the vast majority of my purchases from Amazon they have been nothing short of sterling.this purchase unfortunately was the exception - purchased this along with 6 other CCD security cameras along with two DVR. guess what. but quality control on ensuring what they state us in the box.
Although it gives great video (somewhat blurred) in daylight it also gives good video in color at night for a very good distance these attributes cannot be overcome by the large size and the fact that it requires the power source (110 outlet) where the camera is located. Would not recommend due to size and power requirement. The camera does not have sufficient information to tell you why or how the circulating blower works. Power cannot be supplied over a dual wire cable similar to other Q-See cameras.
Dunn Also havechecked with my neighbors about any possible problems and have notheard anything negative. As for the interference it creates, asone reviewer noted, i haven't seen any evidence of this. S. I am purchasing another one of these as i write this. The simplestatement of " works as advertised " doesn't begin to cover thisproduct.As the owner of numerous Panasonic and Sony cameras, this one iscertainly worth the price.Another customer wrote about the appearance of the unit alone as a deterrent to would-be crooks and bad guys is true.This camera will certainly get peoples attention, so if you areconcerned about irritating your neighbors, i would place it in anless noticeable location. ( i have one that will complain about everything--no matter what, as I'm sure many of you who read thisdo too.).All in all a great little addition to any security system.
Pros: Durable housing, good image quality, night vision suprisingly clear, priceCons: No pan or tilt add-on option, no wide-angle view I only wish Q-See had given this model a pan-tilt-zoom option. The night vision seems to drop off at around 50-60 feet.Unlike some of the cheaper outdoor (plastic) camera housings, this camera features a durable metal housing which gives it a more "expensive" look and feel. Even though this camera is only rated at 420 TV lines, I found that the image quality beats the Q-See QSD360 Outdoor Vandalproof Dome CCD Camera (Color), which is rated at 480 TVL. I purchased a set of these cameras as part of an outdoor surveillance system and both the daylight and night-time images have proved to be surprisingly good for the price you pay. The built-in heater seems to be functioning as advertised as our night images are clear and free of fogging. The lens is good for an overall "parking lot" view however it would have been nice to be able to switch out the lens for a wide-angle lens.
