 good camera, exceeded specs April 19, 2008
I installed this camera on the roof in September 2007, and it still performs well after a hard winter. The specs say it will work down to 32 degrees (f), but if worked well even though we had numerous days below zero. it never seemed to be bothered by the brutal winds or temps.
The camera had exposure to snow and rain, and more snow, and now rain rain rain rain and freezing rain!
the camera is shielded from the north wind, and sits approx 3 feet under a small overhang, but the lens of the cam is not protected by this overhang.
I recommend this camera for security recordings. Picture quality is good, night recordings are good. My application has low level street lighting which provide enough light to give me a clear picture of the activity.
I haven't had to call for support, but I wouldn't expect gold star support for $100 cameras.
the only problem I had all winter was a smudge on the lens. I was considering a call to the factory to demand a technician fix the problem on site, but a high-tech Q-tip solved the problem.
The camera is connected a Dual-Tuner Tivo, and the tivo is tricked into thinking it is a satellite dish. I can still record regular shows on one tuner while the camera is being recorded on the other tuner. The schedule is setup to record 1/2 hour "shows", every 1/2 hour. the recordings are deleted as needed by the Tivo to make space for new recordings. The fast forward ability of a Tivo allows me to view a summary of activity is seconds. That's a sweet setup. (Note: Tivo does not support this use. Their software update killed my first setup, and I had to find this work around. Tivo, Inc. has the right to do whatever they want to your Tivo - and they will)
I just remembered: installation was a bit of a hassle because of the base which holds the camera steady via a very thin aluminum thumb screw. It broke very easily. The camera "head" is far too big and heavy for the base. (Think Bobble-head) I had to improvise the installation to provide a solid connection to the building. It was a hassle at the time, but the camera has been worth the money spent. Perhaps they've made the newer units with better bases?
better April 6, 2008
I have been looking for a good baby monitor and none of them seem to have good reception and privacy. So I bought this camera to put in the baby's room and hook to our television in the bedroom and living room television. My wife loves it. Full color and night vision she can keep taps on the baby with peace of mind without inference and privacy concerns since it is hard wired and not wireless. You will have to drill a few holes to get set up and run some wire but its worth at the end. Been thinking about purchasing more in the future. (You will have to have a cheap baby monitor for sound.)
Great Camera for the Money January 7, 2008
This Camera has great picture quality, good resolution, good range, crisp night vision, all at an affordable price and in a low profile. I have 3 of these in a 4 camera set up, and plans to replace the one off. I have been very happy with these cameras.
bulldog cam October 10, 2007
i found this camera to work very well, images were sharp and clear with good night vision compaired to others i have had in the past,i would like to see it come with a wide angled lens for more area coverage its a bit tight for the area i want to cover,i will see how well it works this winter as it gets much colder here then its rated for.
Excellent Cameras August 23, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm using 2 of these cameras, 3 Q-See cameras, and 3 Sylvania cmeras. This camera has excellent daylight picture, and good night vision capability from 20-30 feet. The Sylvania cameras have good daylight pictures, but not quite as sharp as the Swann Bulldog. Stay far, far away from the Q-See cameras. They are advertised as having similar capabilities as these, but daylight picture is grainy, washed out, and extremely dark. Night vision was useless. I've got 2 Q-See 4-channel PCI capture cards, which work well.
