The camera arrived only a couple of days after my ordering it. It was well wrapped and secure in a Jiffy bag which contained both this camera and an external camera I'd ordered at the same time. The actual box was fairly flimsy, and contained the camera and a small sheet of instructions. The instructions were brief but adequate...setting up the camera is simple enough.
I connected everything up to a PSU and my recording system. And it didn't work. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement, until I realised that the video cable I had put in the circuit was faulty, and stripping it out and replacing it with a new one solved that problem. The camera performed faultlessly after that.
The only real problem I found with it was that there is no indicator as to when the camera is the right way up. It is a cylinder, and when in the door you have to keep popping to the monitor to check the orientation of the image on the screen, and then rotate the camera...and turning the camera is counter-intuitive, the image moves in the reverse direction to that which you expect.
However, that was the only problem. It would be nice if suppliers of cctv equipment were to supply video gender changers in the box, as the lead I had installed to my front door had the same female connector as the camera, and I had to bridge it with a short male/male shunt, which looks a little unsightly.
Other than that it is a top quality product at a very good price. The picture is sharp even at 0.5 lux. The colour definition is good. The focus is crisp from *postman putting things into letterbox* close to the other side of the shopping centre, a good 300 yards away.
I would cheerfully recommend this product, and would happily buy another from the same source.
