Digital camera reviews of Q-See QSC48030 High Resolution Weatherproof CCD Camera w/80ft of Night Vision (Color)
Digital camera Review: Many cameras tested
Summary: 4 Stars
Ok heres the info that I was lookin for but had to find it the hard way. First off I was looking for a camera that had good range, clear picture and the ability to see clear at night. For the price this camera is well better than the others in the same range. In fact probably the all around best for the price. It offers a wider picture, A little bit more distance and a slightly clearer picture. But a fact you should know!!! I mounted this camera and with a day or so I caught my car getting robbed. The distance was about 30 to 40 feet and it was impossible to make out a face. The burglar stopped the car and the car was difficult to spot make model and accurate color but with some effort got it done. If your intention is to catch someone in the act and be able to prosecute them, upgrade to some better models. Spend the money. My things were still taken and all I can do now is watch it happen. Nothing else. I have tried all the cameras just about and all the different ranges. This is the best one but like I said before, you get what you pay for. Hope this helps.Digital camera Review: Mediocre Camera with lots of problems
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought 7 of these cameras to put up around my house.
So far I've had to replace 4 of them due to water damage and the "cold" weather in New York City.
Let's clear things up:
Pros:
1. The cameras look great on the outside
2. Mounting is great, nice to have the extra arm to give you a better viewing angle.
3. Comes with long BNC and Power cables (a great bonus)
4. Q-See replaces damaged cameras (2 weeks without a camera and you have to pay for shipping one way)
Cons:
1. Pricy.
2. Constant water damage after heavy rains. Water gets inside the camera causing the cameras to just show a big blur. (water does dry up after 2-3 weeks, the dirt stays).
3. Camera's may be cutting out due to cold (still troubleshooting)
I would not recommend this camera.
I don't live in a harsh environment yet the cameras keep breaking and the waterproof seals aren't holding up. The company does replace the cameras within the 1st year but it requires me climbing up a ladder, taking down the camera, and then waiting 2-3 weeks, with no security in the meantime, for a replacement. It takes 2-3 days to get an RMA number and you have to pay for your own shipping with tracking one way.
After my last email to Q-See asking for an upgrade or a solution to the water problem I had to wait 2 weeks for an RMA and they gave me no response about the water problem. I think it's reasonable to say that the seal on this model is horrible considering 4 out of my 7 cameras have water issues.
I never write reviews but this time I had to speak out about how frustrating it has become changing these cameras, not to mention how much time and money I've wasted replacing them under warranty. At this point I am hoping to get through the 1 year warranty and then start replacing any new problems with cameras from a different manufacturer.
Digital camera Review: Nice Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
This camera works great. It was easy to install and the image looks good. A few minor things: the mounting bracket would not allow me to mount it at the angle I wanted. The manual did not contain alot of information. However, it was obvious houw to use it: mount it and plug it in. It works well in the dead of night with the infrared LEDs. The image in color during the day and black and white at night.Digital camera Review: No good camera!
Summary: 1 Stars
The problem with this camera it's the cable connection. I had to cut the camera' cable to pass throw my window because I did not want to open a big hole on the wall. Beside that, I cannot connect the camera to my VCR because it did not work.Digital camera Review: POOR NIGHTVISION
