| After reading the two reviews I hesitated buying this kit. However I found nothing else better in this price range and bought a kit with two cameras. Actually I was surprised ... pleasantly. It does what I expected it to do. These cameras are not $1,000 digital SLR's cameras with high resolution lenses. These cameras are small lens (6mm) fixed focus cameras. I have a $500 digital camera that produces low quality images under low light conditions. I expected no less from a $100 camera. I observe low quality under low light conditions, and much, much better quality under better lighting ... photography is after all an adventure in light ... so no surprise (other than pleasantly at what decent images these cameras do put out at higher lighting levels. The illumination from the LED's was not a surprise either ... the literature says ten feet ... and ten feet is slightly conservative, as I could see form and shape at out to 20 feet. I must say not a great image under those conditions, but it was there. This is not a "stealth" type system. The camera is very obvious with a bright red "ON" light and the circle of low light LED's surrounding the lens. However this is not a problem, it might even be a deterrent ... even if an intruder destroys the camera, there is no cable leading them back to the recorder ... they already on film. The kit came with easy mount bracket plus AC adapters for cameras and receiver. Though I use the battery feature for the remote cameras, the receiver adapter is a plus. Overall, I consider this a very good surveillance kit for the money. If you are looking for the highest resolution, equivilent to a $500 digicam, it is not here. However short range conditions under good lighting, this does the job for me. |
