General info about this camera.

Overall Rating:

Pros: I live in Australia (PAL system) and bought this just to see if it would work. A simple change in whatever video program you have from PAL to NTSC and you'll have a picture. It's not too bad, but just a bit grainy.
 
Cons: I think the RCA plugs should have been male and not female. That's according to everything that I have to plug it into.
Cable gets quite hot.
 
Other Thoughts: Works well from 8 volts to 12 volts.
The IR leds are plastic dummy pieces, however, the circuit board does have solder points for the leds (you can buy them from DX) but I haven't tested any with this camera.
OR
You can buy something like sku 31582 ($3.84), which has 35 IR leds, runs off 12v and will light up the night quite nicely.
 
Bottomline: If you want a plain jane camera then this is cheap enough.
If you want a cheap webcam then this is good enough.
If you want a cheap camera for daylight surveillance then this is excellent value.
If you want a day/night surveillance camera then spend a bit more and get one with at least 12 IR leds inbuilt.
SUMMARY
-------
I reckon it's well worth the $12.97.
 
					

Great quality for the price

Pros: - Small 
- easy to install, comes with a mounting bracket (although it is hard to access the screw holes)
- great image quality (for a spy cam).
- the price is unbelievable! 
- great for DIY home/work surveillance
- image resolution is better than the actual pinhole model cameras.
 
Cons: - would be better if it came black, so it would be easier to conceal, however you can always spray some spray paint over it (cover the lens).
 
Other Thoughts: - infrared version with at least a 15-20meter range would be great
 
Bottomline: I will be buying more of these, no question.

CCD quality, comparable to my more expensive sony CCD, works well in low light..
Specification is provided.

IR is a faked plastic
Lens angle not wide enough

Construction is quite ordinary, definitely not waterproof
 
Other Thoughts: =======================================================
Wish to be able to specfic the lens angle..
Wish to have power supply included
=======================================================
 
Bottomline: Good for general purposes..
Do take note of the max current, which is 200MA

Pros: Very good for its price. Very nice price, local electronic store sells this one for 50 euros?!?!?
I think that video quality is ok. Easy to connect to tv. (In this case to digital receiver.)
Good microphone.
 
Cons: Ir leds aren't soldered which I already knew.
(Can't bother to solder them)
Paint is falling off.
Came without powersupply.
 
Other Thoughts: I'm thinking of buying small screen from dx and make my own surveillance system.
 
Bottomline: Good small camera that you can spy on someone.
Works with my salvaged powersupply. :)
