At night it suffers some from glare on the lens caused by the numerous infrared LEDs. I am especially amazed by the bright color images this camera provides just before dark and just after first light. It has a very sharp image during the day, and is also surprisingly sharp at night. I have been experimenting with a few low-end security cameras. I have also tried various X-10 cameras and those really compare poorly to this camera. The Q-See is also a more compact design and feels more solid overall.
Also, it does not suffer from the pinkish cast I sometimes see in the SVAT image during the day.
But still, the LEDs provide a lot of illumination which overall is a good thing.
One minor gripe about this camera is that the mounting hardware can make it hard to hang the camera from the eves or the rafters in a manner that is less obtrusive.
This is the most expensive camera I have tried, and also the best.
After dark, the camera switches to a black and white image.
This camera is definitely a step up from the SVAT CV31 Hi-Res Outdoor CCD camera.
It is both significantly sharper during the day, and significantly brighter at night.
I figured out an improvised solution after some experimentation, but it was not as easy or quick as I would have liked.
Unless you are really strapped for cash, go with this camera over other cheaper cameras and you will probably not be disappointed.
This camera works great. I am going to buy 3 more, but I might wait to see if the price goes down a little. After reading other reviews, I bought one and now I am regretting not buying more. I bought it last week at $120, now it is over $150, what is up with that. Great picture day and night, decent mount and decent construction. I would recommend this camera to my friends.
It worked ok for about a week. faces, vehicles, and neighborhood criminal activities. Sept. I am assuming the white / gray circles are the led lights on this camera lens. I am VERY DISAPPOINTED in this camera. I also purchased an expensive new TV monitor to use with this camera. The white circles block out a lot of what I am trying to record.
You CAN NOT identify faces, vehicles or anything else even if you are up close up to the camera. 12, 2008I have used this camera for about 2 weeks. It works ok for day time monitoring (only) but I would not recomend this camera for day or night recording. The tv monitor shows big white / gray circles when I try to record on it at night. It made no difference in the picture quality even if I turned off the outside lights on my house. I would send the camera back for a refund, but it has been painted white so it would blend in by the house and not be seen by people. Don't waste your time or money buying this camera.
It offers a wider picture, A little bit more distance and a slightly clearer picture. Spend the money. In fact probably the all around best for the price. For the price this camera is well better than the others in the same range. Ok heres the info that I was lookin for but had to find it the hard way. This is the best one but like I said before, you get what you pay for. If your intention is to catch someone in the act and be able to prosecute them, upgrade to some better models. The burglar stopped the car and the car was difficult to spot make model and accurate color but with some effort got it done.
Nothing else. I mounted this camera and with a day or so I caught my car getting robbed. First off I was looking for a camera that had good range, clear picture and the ability to see clear at night. My things were still taken and all I can do now is watch it happen. But a fact you should know. The distance was about 30 to 40 feet and it was impossible to make out a face. I have tried all the cameras just about and all the different ranges. Hope this helps.
However, while it was working, I was impressed. The camera provides a good picture. Unfortunately, water damaged the adapter and the camera is now damaged :-(. The night vision works well even in ZERO light. Great buy.
