Swann SW-C-CCBC Color Reviews

A great CCD camera for indoor & outdoor use
by Simon L from Houston, TX United States, 2008-04-21

Regardless what other two reviewers' experiences were with it, this is a great CCD camera for indoor & outdoor applications. However this is not one for night vision. The camera produce sharp & crispy color image. It's better than CMOS cameras. IT's a ideal one for outdoor use because it's weatherproof.
Amazon's tech detail has no detail at all. I have been submitted the updated tech detail to Amazon twice however the answers were "No Action" because they could not verify the tech detail. In fact they don't want to. They can get tech detail from Swann's website if they want to. Can you imagine the CCD has the ability to handle 60Watt stero volume?
Well I will list the tech details for this product so you know what you're looking for.

Terrible Image!
by Campboss , 2008-01-11

This camera is far worse than any of my other cameras, even my 340 line cameras. Edge sharpness doesn't exist. This camera is useless for surveillance. Unfortunately, the company doesn't allow the return of products in blister packs that have been opened. Obviously, you don't know if it works if you don't open the package.

Maybe I got a lemon but the image is fuzzy. The bulldog camera works fine. Is there manual focus for these cameras?
