IR not so good in security cameras

Replaced one of my expensive 1080 cameras with a cheaper one. Video quality is just ok. The zoom and focus controls are hidden under a removable plastic insert at the top of the camera lens. There is no instruction showing this. If you have remote viewing on your smartphone, it's not that difficult to set up. What I don't like is IR's narrow field of view. They're light, but they're only eight feet wide at 20 feet. All in all you get what you pay for. Also, the quality of video and IR depends on the cabling. I have found that RG59 coaxial cable is required with a tandem power cable. There may also be reviews downgrading the camera due to small cheap cables.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Long wait
