Overall very happy with this camera.,
My wife ordered this camera to watch our front door a couple of weeks ago. I installed it under the eve. So far we are satisfied with it. It out performs my other cameras, especially in low light conditions. It does see further at night. and in color longer at night than the cameras I have. These cameras have 28 LED infrared bulbs and light up dark areas very well. If you need more dark/nighttime illumination, get a camera with more LED bulbs in the camera or a separate LED infrared illuminator.

|Good, but missing controls for adjusting picture/OSD,
For those that don’t know Sony’s Effio chipset has adjustable on-screen (OSD) controls for adjusting picture details as well as special functions (privacy mask, lens iris adjustments, adjusting day/night trip point, turning Wide Dynamic Range on/off etc). This camera might indeed use the Effio chipset but does NOT have the controls molded into the cable as other Effio cams do. Therefore you are limited to whatever “defaults” the manufacturer programmed (and there’s no way of knowing what these are).
THE GOOD:
+ Attractive, lightweight (due to black plastic case).
+ Lots of IR LEDs for night vision.
+ Comes with power supply.
THE BAD:
– Not fully adjustable as other Effio cams for the reason pointed out above.
– This is not a varifocal cam, you cannot adjust lens to match your desired view – it’s a fixed 3.6mm (wide angle) lens.
– The seller has used the same amazon product ASIN for different products at different points in time. Therefore the older reviews may not match the current “Effio” product – something to be aware of!
OVERALL, I would recommend Professional 1/3″ Sony Exview HAD CCD II with Effio-E DSP Devices Dome Indoor Security Camera – 700 TV lines, 2.8~12mm varifocal lens, 36pcs IR LED, 98 feet IR Distance. Vandalproof. WDR (Wide Dynamic Range). OSD Menu. Great Image, Great for Entrance. instead of this camera because it has a varifocal lens plus OSD controls on the cable.
Hope this has been helpful!

|Top Notch,
Hooked up this cam temporarily to the composite video input on my 720p plasma TV. I’ve seen a lot of surveillance cameras, but NONE that compare to the quality of this picture. Image is next best thing to HD, day OR night. Have it under the eave, where it won’t be pointing directly at the sun, and has at least some protection from the weather. I was hoping it would be at least 90° viewing angle but it is less, probably about 10° less. Image quality more than made up for that. Plan to hook this cam up to a DVR with 3 more just like it. So far, 5 stars!
