Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good fit but poor quality

I live in an apartment so I needed a front door camera that could be used without drilling holes. Bought this camera to replace a peephole. It was the only camera I could find on Revane that was small enough to fit in the hole. I had to remove the peephole but it works. While I can give it two stars for fit, the camera failed even after a few months of installation. It's not exactly a color camera. The image looks more like a black and white photo where the red color is visible. Perhaps a very pale red-green hue. Mostly black and white. Although I could live with that, the camera started to lose connection and flicker. The transfer will stop and the yellow connection should be solid. The camera also requires a BNC female to RCA male adapter. I had to wait to install the camera while ordering it. Tried different brands and the problem persists. Today the yellow wire broke completely when I tried to change the adapter again. I believe that was at the root of all the issues I was having with color and connectivity. (see picture) I will try to buy again and also the second type and I will update later. So I recommend if you're like me and need a front door/peephole camera then this will work. Not sure about the quality but for the price it's not terrible. I would also like them to include an adapter or at least let customers know they need one.

Pros

Cons
