Customer Rating:
Summary: works well for the price
Comment: I do not disagree with other reviewers that the color quality is not fantastic, it is grainy, and night vision is concentrated on the center of the screen.However, considering how easy it is to connect and use which I do on a daily basis, and the low cost I would not expect perfection. It does a nice enough job. Just FYI I use this for a baby monitor during naps and all night everyday and night for over a year now without any technical issues
Customer Rating:
Summary: Adequate for a low-cost camera
Comment: I disagree with the other reviews on this camera as they are expecting too much for the grade of quality that this product represents. It is not a professional-grade security camera, but it passes the most important test of all, durability. I have had this streaming video over the Internet from my front porch for the past year, 24 hours a day, and it has provided the exact same picture quality as ever. Yes, it is grainy in low light, and yes, the infrared illuminators do not fill the whole frame. But the camera is truly adequate.
I have mine outdoors, but under a porch, so it has held up to a Northeast USA winter but hasn't been tested under conditions of direct precipitation.
I use WebcamXP's color enhancement software processing to good effect. Again, not broadcast quality, but quite adequate. I like the way that this camera uses one wire to carry both DC power and audio/video signals. The only con to this one-wire approach is that it potentially introduces interference between the signals, which may also have to do with it being a RJ11-grade telephone cable. I get slight wavy line distortion continuously in the image, but it's not very disruptive.

Summary: really a color camera?
Comment: this camera is advertised as a color camera, but it should be called a tinted Black and white camera. Having used a lot of these including the Sony derivative, it is normal to have the green tinted B+W image at night or in low light, but even in the middle of the afternoon, it is still not color. The IR lights which turn on automatically are concentrated on the center, so it doesn't light the full frame.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Ok when you first power it up.
Comment: This camera (SG6153) was ok when I first powered it on, but after a short while, it started to get grainy and it continued to get worse until the picture was horrible. The color when it is working looks like a really bad old colorized photograph. Thinking I might have gotton a bad unit, I purchased another to test. I had the same problem. I will be returning them both.
