[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 2036453, member: 2415"] 1. Sony doesn't make that camera, they only make the imager. This could mean the camera is utter crap. 2. 420 TVL is fine, but make sure whatever DVR you buy to record video supports recording at that resolution. 3. The stated IR LED distance of 30 - 40M is pure BS. Expect 10 - 20M max, and be very cautious about overexposed (hot, white blobs) in near images. 4. The 6/8/12mm fixed lenses are not ideal, and do not expect to see much detail beyond 20'. These fixed lenses are designed for wide fields of view, not far distances. This makes the IR LED claims more dubious. 5. It's not an auto-iris lens, it is an 'auto white balance' lens. This is a sign of cheapness. In summary: it's okay for a $55 camera, but it is nothing special. [/QUOTE]
