Granted, this is the first video security camera I have owned, but I was very pleased with this purchase. Our purpose for buying was to use it as a baby monitor. The combination microphone, IR night vision, and full color (though the colors are a little off) visible light, and price ($25!) was a perfect combination for our purposes. It provides a secure and interference free (not to mention cheap) option to the wireless systems. A drawback in comparison to a traditional baby monitor is that it isn’t as portable.
I purchased a RF modulator in combination with this camera and back fed the video/audio into our home’s coax lines so that the feed could be watched on some old NTSC televisions in the master bedroom and the family room. Belkin RF Modulator ( F8V3063 )
Be sure that you purchase the AC adapter, this unit doesn’t come with one. VideoSecu 12V DC 500MA Regulated CCTV Camera Power Supply AC to DC Power Adapter 1AR
I have 4 of this general type of IR camera for my paranormal investigations group in Portland, OR which I have connected to a DVR. With this model you get what you pay for. It works but the entire camera body is made of plastic. I paid over $80 for one of my cameras and it is made of all metal.
This model also has an extremely flimsy base. If you are mounting it to a wall you may have good results but if using the base alone it’s not very sturdy and feels like it would be very easy to strip the threads. The image it displays is also very bright and washed out a little compared to my other cameras. The IR isn’t as crisp so if it’s detail you are looking for this may not be the camera for you. You will be able to see a person on the camera and if they are relatively close you will be able to ID them but if they are a little ways off you will have a hard time identifying exactly who it is.
The depth of field is also zoomed in pretty tight. If I point this camera and my more expensive camera at the same object, the other camera shows the object at a distance and a lot of the surrounding area. This camera will have almost the entire screen filled with the object being viewed.
For the price it’s a pretty good deal. I may get another one to connect stand-alone to my laptop for a 5th camera to record with.
