 EXCELLENT SECURITY CAMERA October 27, 2007

Great picture night and day. If you want to get a picture of the bad guys that will stand up in court this is the one to buy. I've tried the lower resolution cameras and you can't get a good picture of their face. The only reason I didn't give this camera 5 stars is because it needs the ability to sense when security lights are on. The low light camera feature only turns off in daylight and floodlights tend to wash out anything light in color like faces and license plates. I plan on adding more of these cameras to my Q See DVR system because I've found that one camera isn't enough . I only have one camera now and I just came home to find my passenger side window smashed on my car. The perpetrator manage to stay out of sight of the camera.

All I can say is, "Wow!" I have had many of those $30 big box, home center security cameras, and this beats them hands down. As I type this, I'm looking a full 120 feet out to the street in front of my house. It's dark outside, but the LED lighting system in the camera is flooding the entire view in IR light. We'll see how it holds up to Florida thunder storms this coming summer. If it does, I'll be buying 3 more! My only request from this manufacturer is that they incorporate sound into this model in the future.
comparison of low and mid-range day/night q-see camera line April 22, 2008

Update 5-15-2008: This particular camera has been running for about 2 months now and faces the street where we have had a drug problem. Last night it caught the evicted drug dealer breaking into his old house to retreive forgotten property when the police escorted him out the first time. Since our neighborhood watch had been warned that the home should be vacant I noticed the movement across the street, called 911, and 2 minutes later the former problem was cuffed and stuffed into the squadcar for criminal trespass, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, violation of a restraining order, violation of an eviction order, and breaking and entering. We'll see him again in 5-10 years. Does the camera work at 100 feet in pitch black conditions? Yes. But a human pair of eyes was needed to resolve a man at night. The sony can see it w/o the help.

I bought both the bottom of the Q-see day/night camera line (this camera) and their mid-range unit (the 540 line resolution, 65 foot range for the night IR leds model Q-See QSB520SR Weatherproof Color High-Res Day/Night Camera Kit (540TVL) with 65-Feet Night Vision) I have them both hooked to a Q-see DVR recorder and there is a difference when I compare their pictures side by side on my DVR display. I hope these notes help people pick which one is best for their intended use.
This model is selling for $130 while the next step up listed above is $230 right now.
Pros ($130)
Cheapest day/night camera in q-see product lineup
LEDS provide a wide area of lighting that matches the lens field of view
Comes with a really long cable (100 feet+) and it runs power plus video
wide field of view lens covers a broad area without any fisheye distortion.
(cable is longer on this model than their more expensive model by about an extra 45 feet)
Cons ($130)
Lacks any zoom or focus control for the lens (present on the $230 version)
not as good of a mounting bracket as the $230 version
washed out picture compared to the Sony image sensor in the $230 camera
more picture noise at night compared to the Sony image sensor camera.
Less resolution than the $230 camera - picture is not as sharp
Summary -
I'm really nitpicking here - these are all small differences that separate the low end, mid range, and their high end camera (which amazon did not carry when I purchased them - the high end is just the mid range with higher power LEDS and a higher price tag in the $300's). All of them do what they say - they give you a picture day or night. Unlike other day/night cameras these provide color at night if enough light is present or black/white if using the LEDs. I prefer the color from the Sony image sensor, and I like the adjustable lens on the sony based camera. Is it worth another $100? That depends. Both cameras work well and do what they say - it's only when you put their pictures side by side that the quality difference is noticable.
I think both cameras have a use which is why I bought one of each and put them in different locations. If the tradeoff is quality vs. having more views of a building, then the less expensive camera wins because you can cover more doors and gates using them. On the other hand, if you already have Sony cameras in your security system, the extra $100 will make the q-see sony based mid-range model blend into your existing system better. Having a choice and knowing what you get or give up is important which is why we post reviews. I'm happy with both of my cameras in their applications and I won't change them out. If I buy another camera, I would consider it's use to decide which model to buy. The zoom lens on the $230 model q-see camera is nice for a long driveway, but a wide view of a close porch would probably best be served with one of the $130 models.
Great camera and price January 3, 2008

I have several cameras from past purchases and always went with the cheaper 1/4" CCD and 420 lines of resolution. They don't even come close to comparing to this 1/3" and 480 lines! The night vision is much better than any other I have purchases as well. Very solid! Definitely worth the extra $$$ over the 1/4" equivalents...
This is not a toy! But it is very fun to own!! March 13, 2008

This camera is definitely superior over all others I've seen in quality.
There is a BNC female connector on the back plate (male BNC adapters for RCA cables are available at Radio Shack, as is the 12v power converter. Save more money and time. Positive polarity.)
I noticed the camera rattling and loose inside. If your camera begins to rattle, open up the back plate and carefully remove the whole assembly - with the plate-attached metal stair-step stand that supports the camera. You can adjust the stand by twisting any loose columns. But be careful not to unfocus the camera.
Do not try to open the front of the camera, unless you absolutely have no choice - like to replace the IR ring!
The IR ring (infra-red led lights attached to a curcuit board) is held in place separately in the front of the camera with a small white pin connector with wire leads to the camera board. This is convenient because when the IR leds may burn out after a few years, you can just disconnect and replace the ring for cheap.
The sun shade slides only if the front and back end screws are loosened. At the top-back of the camera, there are 2 built-in screw fittings that confused me at first. (Be sure to refer to the picture here that shows how the wall connector is put together, or you will become frustrated since there are no instructions or diagrams on how to use the supplied hardware.) Do not try to move the angle of the shade, since the only way it moves is from front to back on slides.
The reason this or most surveillance cameras on the market today do not have any audio is because the public privacy law has changed to make eavesdropping illegal in many states. But if you are so inclined, find mini-microphones, transmitters and receivers on the hobby shop sites selling motorized airplanes that employ digital cameras. You might find better prices for mini-box color cameras as well with portable power supplies.
Note: Found this camera (54-IR leds) for $50 cheaper on Amazon - do a search on 1/3" Sony CCD Long range 54 IR Camera with 16mm Lens IR80P 1DT.
Enjoy!
