Clear Resolution Even At NightNov 14, 2009
I wanted to monitor, then eventually record traffic entering my driveway. I know NOTHING about surveillance cameras, but I thought I might experiment with inexpensive camera equipment that would transmit VIDEO ONLY wirelessly to a home security PC that I would establish. As usual, I started my search at the trusty Amazon. After reading reviews and comparing prices I opted for the QSee Model No. QSC48030 Nightvision CCD Color Camera. I honestly do NOT know how it maintains the high rating presented here. From the start the "night" vision was so faded and resolution so poor it was almost useless even with the perimeter lights on. The resolution and color in daylight was also washed out and fuzzy. The installation was a bit clunky for a novice and the placement adjustment was awkward. I had decided I would be wasting my money by continuing this project when I saw a review for SVAT CV31 nightvision color camera. Since it was about 30% cheaper than the QSee and the reviews were high rated I decided to take the risk.
This little IR camera is a GENUINE night vision camera. I get CLEAR high resolution monitoring in just moonlight and street lights at least 50ft away. The daylight vision is very clear at 720x480 and 30fps. Sometimes I get altered tints, e.g., too much blue or red in the color field, but it is not objectionable. The installation and placement adjustment are easy and intuitive. The one problem I experienced is strange. For some reason the AC/DC adapter does not hold up. Communication with the Merchant was excellent and they replaced the adapter on the spot. However, the second adapter is failing in the same mode. I decided there must be a design flaw in the adapter and just replaced theirs with one of my own 12VDC adapters and the camera is working well. With a better performing adapter, I would give the rating 5-stars. The Merchant DOES get the 5-stars. You cannot fault a seller for a design flaw outside of his control.
For newcomers to the surveilance system arena, this is a BEST BUY, for trying out and setting up a do-it-yourself system.
Surprisingly effectiveNov 07, 2009
Has a very good range. Had it covering a large room as a nanny cam. The only problem is the IR LEDs make it obvious that there's a camera there because they turn red in the dark. Maybe that would be good for someone setting a security system as a deterent, but I wanted something a little more inconspicuous.
 returns are a problemSep 20, 2009
I do own 2 of this cameras. One was stuck in B/W mode all the time (IR LED's were on, as well) - so there is a problem with the day/night circuit within the camera.
I called the service- hotline and was told that I have to send in the unit on my costs... also that there would be a pre-charge; I would get my money back, if it would be determined that the fault falls under warranty.
I decided to let it go - it's not worth ist.
 Better than my expensive ones.Jul 18, 2009
Excellent, honestly. Night vision, without lighting,is very good. It's a large camera, but that fine with me. I can see farther away with a wider angle than with my $115 each installed cameras or the CV65 which is practically useless at night. If I had purchased this camera before the others, I would have bought six of these. If you don't mind the size, it is highly recommended by me--I don't recommend many products.
I just ordered another one!Jun 23, 2009
Pro: sharp image, good wide angle coverage, turns night into daylight.
Con: large and heavy compared to most others in this price range.
