Analog CCTV Camera HD 1080P 4-in-1 (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) Security Dome Camera Outdoor, 2.8mm-12mm Manual Focus/Zoom Varifocal Lens, Weatherproof Metal Housing 36 IR-LEDs Day & Night Monitoring (Grey)

This STURDY dome camera with zoom & great focus adjustments combined with terrific resolution and 100' nighttime range and WIDE angle at 105 degrees, I've made this camera my primary choice out of 16 positions. The zoom is real smooth and the focus isn't too bad either. It seems to grab a sharp focus when close, but I know that's just my imagination. Very good though. Pretty easy compared to others, and not a bad range of adjustment, especially for a dome camera. I use the cheaper bullet ones when I don't need zoom, but don't like to give up any sharpness/color. This one is hard to beat and not too pricey certainly for what it gives you. Solid & hefty, too. No cheap plastic.

First off, I've installed quite a few security camera systems, and I can say with certainty that this is hands-down the best CCTV camera you'll find in this price range. PROS: -Large 0.37" CMOS sensor. Most cameras in this price range have a 1/4" or 1/3" sensor. This one is slightly larger th an 1/3" which allows for better color and better low-light sensitivity. -Vari-focal lens. This allows you to set both the zoom and the focus, as opposed to them both being fixed (usually at 3.6mm and a fairly narrow field of view). These are both manual adjustments and easy to get at even after the camera is installed (it also comes with a small tool for adjusting the pots, though a small flat-head screwdriver works fine as well). At its max, field of view appears to be just over 90 degrees. -4 output formats to choose from. While this is now standard on many cameras, this is the first camera I've tried where my DVR actually had no issues whatsoever decoding any of the 4 outputs. Easily selected by setting 2 dip switches. One is low resolution 960H, and the other 3 are 1080p, both digital and analog formats. Should be compatible with just about any DVR out there. -Build quality. VERY HEAVY DUTY. This thing has some weight. I suppose this could be a con if you want to install this on a ceiling tile with nothing supporting it from above, but that aside, consider me impressed. -Picture quality. Very sharp picture. Pretty good contrast ratio as well. -Easy installation and adjustment. The camera unscrews off the base fairly easily; the base is easy to mount (had 4 screw holes), and it goes back together easy as well and was very easy to move and get the exact angle and orientation I wanted. A novice should have no problem installing this camera. CONS: -Only con really is with the instruction manual. It makes reference to various internal camera settings driven by a menu which I was unable to figure out how to access. It also is useless for explaining how to install or make adjustments. Nevertheless, it should be pretty self-explanatory without the manual. OVERALL: Outperforms cameras that are twice the price. I like everything about it and this is now my go-to camera for hard-wired camera installations.

I’ve had three for 33 months. The images from them still look great. No issues. Excellent picture day and night. Just bought some more and installed them. They’re great.

Bought these to replace old SDI cameras (& had to also replace old DVR that died). We used the same cables we initially installed for the SDI cameras (Analog, Coaxial, RG59). These cameras came preset to HD TVI and that worked fine. It was easy enough to change out the cameras (be sure to replace the base - they might seems like you could use the existing but the stops are different). We didn't need to adjust focus or zoom but I'm sure that's a personal preference. We bought a Sannce DVR and everything is compatible. We didn't initially get a picture but the cameras didn't have power (no red lights) - turned out to be a loose connection in the house. Only 4 stars because we're still looking forward to seeing the night vision. Hope this helps those stuck with old SDI cameras. Searched long and hard.

I bought this for my home security system. When a camera went out previously, I paid the person who installed it $250 to replace it. I felt like I was way overcharged. I am a handy person, so I researched what camera I would need and decided to purchase this one. It was not that difficult to install and this camera has a bit sharper picture. Great for the price.

Buena por el precio

Not great. I guess you get what you pay for. Ordered 3 of these to replace some old security cameras. One that I had replaced stopped working 2 days ago. I still had one of the 3 that I hadn’t installed so I replaced the bad one with it. Working fine. Just hope it lasts longer than 4 months.

For a very nice price you get a very nice camera. Not crystal clear quality but it’s clear and no blur at all. Night it’s great as well
