Customer Reviews
pretty cool great price
Rating: 4
I had wanted one of these cameras for a while to see who is outside of my clubhouse. The other day i was at Frys and i decided to go look at the security cameras. While i was looking around i came across this one and i looked at the price only ten dollars so i bought it. I got home plugged it into the tv the picture was great the audio was good.
PROS: good picture ,size , audio, price
CONS: no night vision, picture is not clear with 9volt battery, the cable are not long enough
Item sent was not new (in my opinion)

J&R Computer Worldsent me a camera that had all its packing and packaging previously opened,inside and out. The adapter had dust all over it and its wiring was shoved into its individual box; the same is true form the camera itself. The components, it appears, are not "factory fresh" and/or new, and look as though they were used, returned, or refurbushed, in my opinion.
This, unfortunately, is the 3rd time this has happened to me when ordering through Amazon.com. I will not again order from Amazon.com or J&R Computer World.
Small but mighty

This was shockingly tiny coming out of the box...but that's good. It mounts easily just about anywhere and is very inconspicuous with it's flat black finish. Outdoor locations should be at least semi-sheltered from weather, such as under a roof overhang.
A single cable coming out of it splits off into separate power and video/audio cables. The included wall-plug cube supplies power, so an outdoor outlet will make installation more convenient. Readily available RCA type extension cables routed inside to your TV complete the set-up. You can just use a single cable if all you want is video, or use a second cable to make use of the built-in microphone. A single button punch on my TV remote switches from TV to camera input. If desired it can be run through a VCR to get the action on tape. (You could even make home movies).
All of this would be pointless if the video wasn't good, but in fact the color image of my front porch and driveway is better than I expected -- not hi-def but very acceptable. The viewing angle is wide enough to see everything I need to see. Understand that this isn't a night vision device, so combine it with a motion sensing security light for darkness hours, and you've got your eye on the world outside your door. I would have given it a full 5 star rating if it had extreme low-light capability.
I've only had this for a few weeks so I can't attest to it's durability. With the mail-in rebate the price will be cut in half, so I won't have much invested. The price is much less than many other security cameras on the market that do basically the same function. I'll update this review if it craps out any time soon.
