Anpviz 5MP Analog CCTV Camera 4-in-1 (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) Turret TVI Camera, Dome Security Camera with 100ft Night Vision, Metal Housing IP67, Compatible with Other 5MP and Above DVR(Not WiFi)

Think this is so far the best camera for the price. Major improvement from my current one's. Night vision is also improved but black and white. The zoom feature is great. This camera would be perfect if it was available with color night vision. Just purchased 3 more. Install is simple.

I ordered three of these cameras to replace older ones on my current system. For the price they cannot be beat. You are able to adjust the zoom and the focus depending on what you want the camera to view. I have had them for a few months now, and they have had no issues in the cold or the rain.

I bought this camera to replace a “bullet” camera that I use attached to my Night Owl security DVR to watch the inside of my back door. As a wide angle camera it worked great out of the box with perfect focus, but I wanted a camera with zoom so that I could tell whether someone had left the deadbolt disengaged or not. This camera met those needs, and I can now tell via camera whether or not the door is locked. The ability to change modes via dip switch on the end of the power pigtail was nice as opposed to dip switches on the camera body.If you have never used a dome camera before it may seem awkward to mount, but if you remove the allen hex-head set screw and unscrew the retaining rings everything comes apart and you can easily screw the base onto the wall or ceiling surface. In my case I used standard #8 wood screws because I was going into the stud behind the drywall instead of using the supplied screws and anchors.Since dome cameras are spheres they don’t have a marked “top” or “bottom”, but if you look at the camera lens you will see a photocell among the IR LEDs, and that side marks the bottom. Remember that and you won’t mount it upside down like I did the first time.Focus was touchy when the camera was zoomed all of the way in, adjusting with 10-15 degree turns to get it perfect. You will want to make sure you can see the monitor when you do. In my case I just set a laptop where I could see it and was able to get everything mounted, aimed, and focused in about 5 minutes.Infrared performance was marginal. I could see the IR LEDs glowing in the dark, but the old bullet camera had a better night picture. It isn’t a problem for my application, but keep that in mind if superior night vision is required.5 stars because of the night vision, otherwise I would have given it a 5 star review.

Clear and sharp image. I even get color night time image while the driveway lights are on. Nice small and compact design.I use it with the following recorder and have not had any problems.ANNKE 3K Lite H.265+ Security DVR Recorder with AI Human/Vehicle Detection, 8CH Hybrid 5-in-1 CCTV DVR for Surveillance Camera, Supports 8CH Analog and 2CH IP Cameras, Remote Access (No Hard Drive)

Great camera

Excellent night vision. Sharp images. Easy to install, good value analog camera

I was replacing a older 1080p camera with this one on a 5mp dvr and the new camera will not send anything other than 960h no matter which of the 4 settings it is on. I sent the seller a e-mail/question and after a week I still have no response. So due to a defective product and no customer help I am sending it back.

I bought these a few years back and they are still working. I bought some more recently. I tried another popular brand in the same price range and they didn't hold up or have as good of a picture. For the price it's a good product. It allows you to focus and zoom. easy install and set up
