Pros: - Really good images! Here, I pay 10x more for a similar product!
- Really well built. I was not waiting a product so good.
- You may get colors with a little white color available. Its not necessary to have a great light source to get amazing colors.


Cons: - Microphone is not so good. If you need that, maybe you will have to open it and change it.
- Power supply is not included. Normally this kind of camera dont have a power supply included, so, its not a big cons.


Other Thoughts: Its a great camera and price is really amazing. If you dont need a perfect microphone, its your product.


Bottomline: I will buy a lot of this!


Expected less from that price

Pros: Small and cheap, but extremely useful as a cheap home security device.
It has build-in IR-LEDs for "night vision" and it works pretty good.
Comes in a nice package and seems pretty well build.


Cons: The IR-LEDs emits a tiny red visible light when on.
You need your own DC Power supply, but they dont cost much anyways.


Other Thoughts: Opened mine up to check the inside out, and found it to be good build quality despise the price. (one screw was different from the others, and didnt fit well... looked kinda funny, but did the job hehe)


Bottomline: Normally you dont get much for that price, but this device is pretty good.
Works like charm with sku.11127, and i'm ordering 2 more cams in near future.


WOW

Pros: When opened had great packaging, no scratches, or anything. You can use a higher voltage DC power supply and the camera will still work. Works in rain and partially under water (just don't let the water touch the wires. Great quality (better then my camera I bought for $150).
Has build in IR LEDS for night vision.


Cons: The IR LEDS are usually always on (even in day light) and can be a pain when in the daylight, the camera will bleach out the areas with lots of sunlight. Doesn't come with DC power supply.


Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Great for surveillance in your house. Great for the price.

Pros: Great price and easy to use. You really can't do it wrong.

Comes without adapter, so you can get one that fits your electrical system (US/UK/Europe/etc)

Picture quality is not great, but fair, even with pretty long (30m) and cheap, low quality cable.
IR seem to have a decent range. I had no problem seing what was going on about 10m away.

Cons: Comes without a power supply, so you will have to purchase one separately.

Field of view is a bit narrow, so a version with more fush-eye style lens would be great for "the big picture".

Cables are a bit short. If you want to use it outdoors you will have to connect the cables outside. i'd prefer that to be inside the house.

Other Thoughts: NTSC version only, but unless you have a really old TV that should not be a problem.

I'm a bit sceptic about using it outdoors, at least here where temperatures during the year can range from -20 to +30. In a more stable temperature of around +20 I don't think it should be a problem.

Bottomline: If you want a cheap camera to let you keep an eye at the door, watch the baby or something like that, this is it! With this price (and don't forget free shipping) you really can't go wrong. Even if it doesn't fit your intended need you can probably find some use for it.

Excellent value for money.
