From the Manufacturer
Easy to install and even easier to use, the Swann Outdoor Surveillance Security Camera lets you see up to 100 feet (30 meters) in total darkness, without even the tiniest candle flame to help out. An image inverter corrects the picture when the camera is mounted upside down for versatility. A ¼-inch, Sharp CCD Video Sensor features a 500 by 582 pixel count that produces vivid color for quickly distinguishing anything in range. The camera also features a resolution of 400 TV Lines, an illumination rating of 0 Lux with infrared on, an internal sync system, and an automatic white balance mechanism. And, measuring just over 2 inches in diameter, 3 inches in depth, and 4-1/2 inches in height, this is one unobtrusive little unit.

Customer Reviews

Get the better one
Bought this for short range outdoor surveillance, less than 40 ft. very fuzzy picture and horrible night picture. Would not recommend this camera for outdoor/night vision. For night vision get a camera with at least 20 infrareds.

Not As Advertised
The features described on the Amazon page are patently misleading. The effective range in total darkness, is NOT 100 ft, but more like 15ft. The image is NOT the quality they tout in fact it is fuzzy even under the best conditions. I am puzzled as to why the higher priced cameras offered by Swann are rated LOWER than this one. In their favor is the fact that the camera housing is metal, not plastic. It's unfortunate they didn't put in a better sensor. The one they used is no better than the X-10 garbage. Also, don't bother to complain to Swann because they will not answer any questions, and will refer you to the website instead which often doesn't have all the information. Before you buy, check out the manufacturers website...and then keep on shopping for something else that actually lives up to the hype.

try a differant brand
My first camera was working for about 15 min when it crashed. I called into customer service and was told that the camera is not to be mounted where it will be in direct sunlight even though its advertised as an outdoor camera. I had to pay for shipping to return the camera and received the replacement about 10 days later. When i open the box the lense on the camera was smashed in pieces and would'nt work. I called in again and was told i would have to pay for shipping again if i wanted to return it. Swann was been a complete waste of time and money, since then i've found other cameras online that i should have bought the first time. One last thing don't even try and get in touch with tech support as it's overseas and all you can do is leave a message that they don't return.
