Digital camera reviews of Q-See QSC48030 High Resolution Weatherproof CCD Camera w/80ft of Night Vision (Color)
Digital camera Review: Great camera, great nightvision.
Summary: 5 Stars
The video quality of this camera is great and so is the night vision! I live in a court at the very end and I can literally see all the way to the cross street at night. Loved this camera so much I decided to buy another.Digital camera Review: Great for a WebCam
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this on my 12th story terrace for a weather cam on http://www.wunderground.com. It was easy to setup and get going. I stream the output to video capture card on a Fedora/Linux dedicated computer. Once a minute I grab 1 second of video, split it into individual frames, and upload the 10th frame to wunderground. This is done automatically 24/7. If you want to see results, go to wunderground, click WebCams, New York, Bronx.
The quality isn't as good as my point and shoot, but good enough to see whether it's raining, snowing, etc. I'm too far from the ground (100') to benefit from the infrared. But, with the parking lot and city lights and this camera's sensitivity, there is a decent night picture. At least it's better than the people who send out a black images all night.
We'll see if it clouds over in time, as some have reported. I'll report back in a few months. Some have reported spider issues, but we don't have them 100' off the ground.
Digital camera Review: Great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I did a lot of research trying to decide on a good, affordable camera. I purchased the qsee and a different brand at the same time. The qsee is a great all around camera and does an excellent job at night. I would estimate that you can clearly see objects 50-60 feet away in complete darkness, which I think is great for a cameras in this price range. The daytime color ability is good too although the dome camera I purchased seems to be more accurate during the day and poor at night. I would definitely suggest buying this camera as a home security option.
Digital camera Review: Great picture at a good price!
Summary: 4 Stars
Great nightvision camera. The only downfalls are, no sound and
there were NO instructions how to attach the camera to the base. I eventually figured it out, but it would of been nice to have something.
Also, it looked slightly used? The box was pretty beat up and cut open?
I'm not so sure this was 'new'.
I didn't want to deal w/ the hassle of returning it, but just beware.
Digital camera Review: Great surveillance camera!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these cameras, along with one each of two different Q-See cameras, and have been very happy with all of them.
One thing to note is that cameras like this, which feature IR illumination, don't work that great when mounted behind glass -- the reflection from the glass window can reflect the IR illumination back to the camera lens, and result in a hazy, indistinct image at night.
In my case, there is enough illumination from streetlights that i really don't need the IR, so I just unscrewed the lens, removed the IR circuit board, and everything is great. The camera can see in near-darkness without the help of IR illumination.
For my application, the lens isn't quite as wide as I would like -- Q-See has some other cameras with a wider lens -- but for many applications, the field of view is just fine.
Overall, a well-built camera well-sealed against the elements, with very high quality video, and a nice robust mount. And it has a serious, "don't mess with me" appearance that should give potential thieves or vandals the desire to move on to softer targets. Highly recommended.
