Digital camera reviews of Defender STEALTH1 Covert MPEG4 DVR Recording System with Built-in Color Pinhole Surveillance Camera Hidden in a Motion Sensor
Digital camera Review: Okay for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been playing with this video camera for two weeks and I have some thoughts:
PROS- Good look from the front as far as being covert. Looks like a traditional motion detector to most people. Really good picture from about 3 feet away to 6 feet, then gets a little blury but still okay, not bad, still on the pro side of this story. Removeable card is handy if you do a permanent install. Has a mount on the back that I want to try soon.
CONS - Battery drain is quick! You will need to use the AC for recording. Batteries are just for when you are moving it around. Lights on the back cannont be disabled, I put white electrical tape over them. Need a large data card to get decent video storage, I guess this really depends on your application but the included card was too small for me.
Overall, I was satisfied for the $200 price.
Digital camera Review: Survelience camera
Summary: 1 Stars
This looks like a motion detector, which I like. But, it was advertised that it works off batteries. It does not. If you want to plug it in, the cord is only 4-5 ft long, so you can't hang it high enough to see people, you can only see their knees, because most outlets are 15" off the floor. If it worked on batteries, then you could hang it higher.
Also, the SD card did not work. I put my own card in, and that did work, but they should have included an SD card that worked.
I called the company. They returned my phone call, and left me a number to return their call, but they said it so fast, that I could not understand what they said. So I feel stuck.
It's a great idea...if it worked as they advertised.
Digital camera Review: Very decent office security camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this camera to cover my work office - lots of expensive
gear and computers and such. It was easy to set up by connecting
it to the front RCA input on my TV. It's quite wide-angle, so aiming
is quite intuitive - just guess, then check the SD card in your
computer to verify aim. My only criticisms would be that the mount
is on the cheesy side and sticks out too far from the wall. Also,
don't even think of running on batteries! 12 hours is wishful thinking.
With a brand new set I got about 8! Plus, you'll simply forget about
it after a while, it will be dead, and then something will happen that
won't be recorded :) But for the price, it can't be beat.
Digital camera Review: Works great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Was really surprised at the quality of this product. I have it mounted in my house and have it on when away and have found that it does not miss a thing that happens while I am away.Digital camera Review: Works well
Summary: 5 Stars
The camera works well but it doesn't work too well when it is dark. The motion dectection feature isn't all that great especially when it does not have enough light. However, it is easy to use and serves the primary purpose. We bought ours for safety reasons living in a dangerous neighborhood. So far everything is going well. It is worth buying the larger SD card so you don't have to worry about running out of memory.
