Editorial Reviews:

Weatherproof color camera captures high-resolution images in total darkness. Capture surveillance images late at night without leaving the porch light on. The 12-LED Waterproof Color Bullet Camera can capture clear images from up to 45 feet away in complete darkness (0 Lux), thanks to its 12 built-in IR LEDs. You'll see clear color images by day, and this surveillance camera switches automatically to an IR-sensitive black & white mode at night. Unlike most surveillance cameras, the Waterproof Color Bullet Camera comes with 60 feet of power and video cable for easy placement in and around your home. With a 1/3 inch Sony Super-HAD color imaging system, this 420-line outdoor camera can capture images and send them directly to your video system. A removable weatherproof housing protects the camera from the elements; this camera is so watertight, it can withstand full immersion in water as well as any type of weather. The Waterproof Color Bullet Camera is fitted with 60 feet of power and video cable for connection to your video system and to a convenient power outlet.

Summary: SPECO will not honor the product warranty
Comment: I recently purchased this camera and to my surprise I discovered SPECO will not honor the warranty for any piece of their equipment purchased on-line. They only extend the warranty to distributors and according to their customer service organization; distributors don't and aren't allowed to sell Speco products on-line.
I wish Amazon would have posted this fact before they offered this item for sale.

Summary: GREAAAAAT!
Comment: Works absolutely as advertised. Night (Infrared) shots are not real bright but serve my purpose which is intruder detection.

Summary: Can't go wrong for the price!
Comment: I agree with the others here, the range at night is a bit limited if the area is in complete darkness but when one lives in the city that is usually not a problem. The wire from the camera terminates with a BNC connector but this cam will work with a standard TV. I suggest going to Radio Shack and get a BNC Female to Phono Plug Adapter
(Model: 278-250 | Catalog #: 278-250) along with a short cable with RCA male at one end and RCA female at the other end and you are good to go (Radio Shack also has this in a short length).
Ok, you have two of these great cam's and one TV, what are you going to do? I found a cheap way to automatically switch between up to 4 cams with the output of the switcher going to one TV. I found a Philips Automatic Video Selector and RF Modulator (MPN: PH61153) at WalMart (its not on their website you will have to go to the store) that, when set up correctly, will allow you to plug in up to four cam's and automatically cycle thru each input/cam every 5+ seconds (scan speed is adjustable). The PH61153 will skip any input that does not have something plugged into it so I can use it with just my two cams for now. The PH61153 was intended to automatically switch between video componets (DVD, VCR, DVR, etc) but for $24ish you can't go wrong. BTW: I have a second PH61153 and use it for its intended purpose of automatically switching between video componets.
You can't go wrong with this camera! I already have two and plan to get two more soon.

Summary: Very solid camera
Comment: I got this to cover some blind spots around the front and side of our house. Color is real good and grandularity during the day is more than fine. During darkness, the night vision will only reachout about 15-20 ft. in total darkness. Like another reviewer mentioned, a light further out will help cover any weakness this may present. It seems to work well with the PC-4 card. You'll need a BNC cable connector as both ends are female. Having the 60 ft. of extra length is really nice and what seperates it from the other similar cameras in this class. Those only have a few feet which is why they are cheaper. You'll pay about the same with the extension cable that you may need to purchase with it.

Summary: Good Price, Fair Product
Comment: I had hoped to utilize the infrared features of this camera for night time security at my business. In the daytime, the color is good and the resolution is OK. At night I have found that the range is not as robust as specified and that the scenes are typically dark even though at fairly close range. This is a good low cost camera for fully or moderately lit locations.
