More camera for the same money!,
Ok, so I have a very simple Zmodo 8 channel home security dvr and I noticed that the cameras that came with it really sucked. That was about 2 years ago and ever since I have been on the hunt for better cameras for my dvr.
The first camera I ordered was the 600 tvl Videosecu Dome Camera (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YZXQXG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00). When the camera arrived I was so excited that I did not even realize that I had actually received was an AVUE AV666s (http://www.amazon.com/AVUE-AV666S-Varifocal-distance-adjustment/dp/B00564VGK8/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t). I was amazed by the variable zoom and variable focus on the camera that I did not even care that it was the wrong color and not the actual product that I had ordered. Plus the image quality far surpassed that of the current Zmodo comers that I had. So without any questions I installed it and have been happily using it ever since.
So, I finally saved up enough money to get a second camera and not remembering that Amazon had sent me the wrong camera the first time I reordered the 600 tvl Videosecu Dome Camera. Needless to say Amazon did not screw up twice and I was significantly disappointed when I actually received what I had ordered. I should point out that the Videosecu camera is about 2/3 the size of this Evertech Camera, but believe me when I say the features on this Evertech more then make up for the size difference. So, what led me to send the Videosecu Camera back was the night vision view. I installed the Videosecu and eventually the Evertech Cameras on the overhang of my roof next to my garage. The camera is pointed almost horizontally to capture the concrete apron in front of my garage, the driveway and most of my front yard. Unfortunately when I positioned the Videosecu Camera roughly 5 degrees down from straight horizontal I realized that the LEDs for the “night vision” where actually reflecting into the camera lens and washing out most of the picture. Well that made the camera utterly useless. So I returned the Videosecu and started looking for a similar camera to the AVUE AV666s.
Enter the EVERTECH 700 TVL Camera!!! Stat wise this camera dwarfed both the Videosecu and the AVUE AV666s cameras. With 700 TVL instead of 600 TVL I get better resolution (although I should note that my sub par Zmodo DVR only records up to 420 TVL resolution), with 36 LEDs I get 16 more LEDs for better night vision then the Videosecu camera and with a 2.8-12mm zoom lens I get the best of both wide angle and zoom lens capabilities in one camera.
Okay, so lets break down some of the features.
The 700 TVL. Again this is far superior resolution then I got with the original 380 TVL Zmodo Cameras. I mean it is night and day difference even in the daytime, and at nighttime I can actually see what is in front of the camera where as with the Zmodo cameras I could just make out movement but not actually know what was moving. Compared to the 600 TVL resolution of the AVUE camera I can just slightly tell a difference when looking at the live feeds. Again, however, when looking at the recorded video it is the same since my Zmodo DVR limits the recording resolution on both cameras to 420 TVL.
The 36 LEDs. These can be both a positive and a negative. If you are going to use this camera for relatively close quarters or small, enclosed spaces I have to say I think your nighttime images could be washed out due to overpowering LEDs. However, if you’re going to use this camera for outside recording like I do the extra LEDs really help illuminate almost the entire recorded image even at the widest setting of 2.8mm. Again at the 2.8mm setting on the camera the LEDs reach past 50 feet with ease but start to fade in intensity beyond 75 feet.
The 2.8-12mm Vari-focal lens. This is probably the second best feature behind the resolution (700 TVL). If you have any question in your mind how close or how far away your camera needs to be from what you want to record, or how much of a particular area you want to record you should definitely get this camera. The 2.8-12mm lens means you can zoom out to one of the widest lens settings that security cameras come in, 2.8mm. With the camera set to 2.8mm I can view approximately 50 feet from one side of the image to the other at a distance of only 15 feet from the camera (hope that makes sense). So at 2.8mm I can see almost an entire semi-truck trailer (not including the cab) with the trailer placed only 15 feet in front of the camera. But if I zoom the lens in all the way to 12 mm I can see approximately 20 feet from one side of the camera image to the other, or about the length of a pickup truck. That’s a lot of zoom from one lens and makes this camera very versatile and for picky people like me allows you to be able to capture exactly what you want with this camera! The other aspect of this lens is the Vari-focal. That means that…

|Great Wide Angle Camera,
I have tried and looked for wide angle cameras on Amazon and this is the best camera for the money, hands down! The other cameras that I have tried just didn’t have the wide angle even though they stated they were. In my situation I have used the cameras that were bundled with my DVR but I was disappointed with the overall view, for instance I wanted to get the view of the front and rear yards.
Most bundled cameras can only cover 1/4 to 1/2 of 25 foot wide yard, meaning that I would need at least two of these regular cameras to cover these areas. I was impressed that with this camera I was able to see the entire yard with only one camera, I haven’t even tried adjusting the zoom and focus because the factory settings worked great. With the help of the Metal Halide yard light this camera displays in full color even at night. The one that I installed for the front yard has a great picture too, it covers the entire 25 foot yard and sidewalk/street area. It too is in color but less so because the only lights in front are the street lights. With my other cameras when it got dark outside I basically lost the picture because of the low lighting, the night vision on these cameras give a great picture, I even get a good picture before the street lights kick in.
The only two cons was the mounting system and the different models that I received.
I ordered one camera on 9/11/12 and it was fulfilled by CCTVONE and I received the model listed on this page (EV-CDM368IRV), the 2nd one I ordered on 11/25/12 was fulfilled by Evertech-USA and I received Model # EV-CDM368IR V.7. The main difference is that the EV-CDM368IR V.7 has the the on screen display (OSD) so that you can make many adjustments to the camera such as back lighting, and picture adjustments (Brightness, Contrast, etc.) which works great. So if you want this feature then choose Evertech as the seller when order and hopefully you will get the EV-CDM368IR V.7 model. this model is also easier to mount because after you install the base to the wall it has a large outer ring that screws onto the base which is much easier. With the other camera model the outer ring is attached to the base with 3 small allen screws which can be a pain when you are trying to hold the camera and tighten the screws.
Overall this is a great camera and I highly recommend it

|Excellent Camera,
Best day/night camera I ever bought. 700TVL makes a hugh difference. Installation was as good as it can be. Bought a second one.
