I bought two VideoSecu IR801K Indoor/Outdoor Day/Night Vision Security Cameras. They both work great. I have mounted one outside so far. The daytime color view is real nice and the night vision is too. Good viewing range in the dark. The audio is clear no phantom sounds. One can see the IR lights in the dark if you look for them but not blatantly so. The cable is of good quality and the VHS adapters are solid. Good price for a solid product.

I bought this camera at the same time I bought a higher priced unit from the same manufacturer. I was surprised that this unit provides much better performance than the higher priced unit which appeared to have better features; a higher LED count and a higher TVL count!
This is a mid-sized unit which provides excellant IR night vision out to about 50 feet. The visual clarity is very good, both day and night. The focus is automatic and appears to work well.
I own three different IR cameras and this one is undoubtly the best of the three.
I bought one of these to connect to a new averdigi card I purchased for my computer. To be honest, the motivation was that it had a Sony image sensor a good number of IR led's and one of the lowest prices I've seen. So far this camera has been excellent. It's not the sharpest resolution, and certainly doesn't compare to what you would get for a lot more money, but for a simple camera it's great.
The picture quality both day and night is good, body and mount are solid. You can see the IR LED's at night (faint red glow), but nothing obvious or distracting. I wish the mount had a little more movement, but you can make it do what you want for the most part.
The 3.6mm lens gives a nice wide view, even at close distances, excellent for an entry, which is what I'm using this one for.
So far it's been a good camera that I would recommend, and will personally be buying at least a couple more of.
Ok, we did not buy this for security but for other reasons. We always wanted mirrors on the ceiling, but mirrors tend to be to difficult to install and remove when company comes over, thus decided on this camera. Easy to install, move around and remove. We connect it to our flat screen on the wall and have fun.
The night time vision is cool too;)
I purchased one of these cameras to replace a defective camera. I needed two, but decided to order one to try it out. I see someone reviewed this camera and gave it two stars complaining about resolution. It's resolution is 420. I was very pleased with the quality of the image. I'm using my cameras on the exterior of my home. The picture quality in daylight and nighttime is good. I have several other 420 line cameras, and the image on this camera is the best of all of the ones I own. Although I didn't need a mount, the mount which was included is a good quality mount. I'll be ordering another one of these today to replace my other bad camera.
I've purchased from Videosecu in the past, and even spoke with them on the phone a couple of years ago when they were doing business on Ebay, and they're customer service has always been excellent.
I purchased this camera for my DEFENDER security system. The original system was sold with only 4 cameras, by design.
I purchased an additional three low profile under eve mount for the front of the house. You would not notice them in the daytime unless you are looking for them.
At night, the infrared glows as a warning to anyone that needs to be warned. (My wife likes it that way). The final camera for the system is the VideoSecu above. This is a rather large outdoor camera (3X) as compared to the original Defender cameras. It appears sturdy and well made. The optics are as good as the original cameras with a wider field of view. The night performance is as good as most quality night (B&W) cameras.
The camera mount is very sturdy. The price with free shipping is very attractive. The VideoSecu cable is of better quality than most. The only reason I did not give this five star is that focal is not adjustable. This however is nit picking, as this camera is not advertized as an adjustable focal length camera.
VideoSecu will sell you one, if you need this feature.
Initially I purchased ne of these cameras to use to monitor my house entrance. I was surprised by the wide field of view and image quality. It is well built. Only negative is the thickness of the wire and that it does not provide for tamper proof installation. However it is a solid value. Been running for 90 days under rain and sun without problems. Very recommended for those looking for a good exterior security camera in a budget.
I had a little trouble with this product in the beginning, not because of the product itself, but because of what I received when it was shipped. The seller took care of this problem, which I was really satisfied about. I use this camera to watch my front door to see who is coming. I was so shocked by how clear it was compared to my last one. I could actually see the face and tell who it is! The night vision lights is bright. It's of great quality and it makes it look like you're not even in the dark. - Infrared - Security Camera - Security Cameras - Ir Camera'
