24 hour security in blonde-proof package!
by Security Mom from MIchigan, USA, 2009-04-06

These cameras are VERY easy to install and provide 24 hour coverage with the night vision abilities.
Highly recommend to those who are security conscious or simply want to keep an eye the children or pets in your yard.

Excellent at night w/ extra light
by Heather Bischoff , 2009-02-04

This camera works well for a camera at this $$$.

Night is real good at about 25' with a porch light on, at 30-40' you can watch something like a dog or shed and be able to tell if someone is near it. but you wont be able to see who it is at this distance.

Infact i bought another after trying out a few others that did not work as well.

the color is real. The focus is clear. Nice camera for a little money.

These have out lasted the others too. Still using them after a year and a half. Still work as good as new.

SPECO will not honor the product warranty
by B. Ventriglia from Trumbull, CT USA, 2007-11-19

I recently purchased this camera and to my surprise I discovered SPECO will not honor the warranty for any piece of their equipment purchased on-line. They only extend the warranty to distributors and according to their customer service organization; distributors don't and aren't allowed to sell Speco products on-line.

I wish Amazon would have posted this fact before they offered this item for sale.

GREAAAAAT!

Works absolutely as advertised. Night (Infrared) shots are not real bright but serve my purpose which is intruder detection.

Can't go wrong for the price!

I agree with the others here, the range at night is a bit limited if the area is in complete darkness but when one lives in the city that is usually not a problem. The wire from the camera terminates with a BNC connector but this cam will work with a standard TV. I suggest going to Radio Shack and get a BNC Female to Phono Plug Adapter
(Model: 278-250 | Catalog #: 278-250) along with a short cable with RCA male at one end and RCA female at the other end and you are good to go (Radio Shack also has this in a short length).

Ok, you have two of these great cam's and one TV, what are you going to do? I found a cheap way to automatically switch between up to 4 cams with the output of the switcher going to one TV. I found a Philips Automatic Video Selector and RF Modulator (MPN: PH61153) at WalMart (its not on their website you will have to go to the store) that, when set up correctly, will allow you to plug in up to four cam's and automatically cycle thru each input/cam every 5+ seconds (scan speed is adjustable). The PH61153 will skip any input that does not have something plugged into it so I can use it with just my two cams for now. The PH61153 was intended to automatically switch between video componets (DVD, VCR, DVR, etc) but for $24ish you can't go wrong. BTW: I have a second PH61153 and use it for its intended purpose of automatically switching between video componets.

You can't go wrong with this camera! I already have two and plan to get two more soon.
