easily stripped. You may want to buy a quality .

The camera is described as wide angle but I don't see any difference in contrast to a bullet camera.it does work, however, the mounting bracket appears to be extremely cheap in quality, easily stripped. You may want to buy a quality mounting component. One star for the camera working, no stars for mounting and no stars for advertising it as a wide angle.

Pros
  • not the best night vision but still better than other cameras in the price range
Cons
  • not as good as I thought it would be

Below average picture quality

Got the m-60 2.8 to add to my zosi system.wide angle is great.960H is not.720P and above is much better.zosi is comparable price, better picture quality, but narrower angle.

Pros
  • installed it and found out how great the wide angle is...so i just ordered two more...
Cons
  • Limited storage options

Won't work at night

Mine works in daylight, but when it's dark out, the screen doesn't work. It's not because it's dark out, one minute it shows outside then it turns completely off. I have checked everything and my TV works fine and the wires are not disconnected. It only happens at night. This camera only works in the day time.

Pros
  • works vary well. thank you seller for your help.
Cons
  • Limited video playback options

Image quality deteriorates quickly

Cheap cameras. Went to all black & white after a few weeks and one camera got water inside of it. Now 4 months later the image quality on all of these cameras has just deteriorated to the point that I'll need to replace them. My opinion is they're only good for temporary use.

Pros
  • With remote access capabilities, you can easily monitor your camera's footage from your smartphone or computer, giving you peace of mind even when you're not on-site
Cons
  • Limited coverage area

great camera, takes forever to get delivered

This is a very good product for the purchase price, an excellent value. It does take quite some time for it to ship and arrive because it seems they all ship from China and not USA inventory. However, if you can wait the time it takes to ship it will exceed expectations when it arrives.

Pros
  • This works very good at day and night. I have to adjust it for my use for securiity work.
Cons
  • Poor image quality

Very good When it worked

Lasted one year did have great picture until it completely died night vision was very good would’ve expected more than one year almost to the day

Pros
  • With a wide angle lens, this camera can capture a larger area, making it perfect for monitoring outdoor spaces like parking lots or large yards.
Cons
  • Limited zoom capabilities

Weak mount adjustment

Seller is hard to deal with. Mount broke upon installation and they wasn't replacing it. Told me it was my fault because I must've screwed the set screw in too tight. I just used the old one by wrapping electrical tape around the mount to hold it in place. I've only had to get my 16' extension ladder once since then to readjust the camera and add more tape.

Pros
  • great
Cons
  • Difficult to troubleshoot technical issues

Love these cameras good for me

Love these cameras. I have a Nightowl system now and their cameras are junk and have a small viewing area. I plugged this Blue Fish camera in and viewed it in comparison to the Nightowl cameras, it is night and day! Wow! The viewing area is huge! Great buy for the price.

Pros
  • The waterproof design ensures that the camera can withstand even heavy rain, making it a reliable choice for outdoor security.
Cons
  • Easily interfered by other electronic devices

Works great with NightOwl security system

I have a NightOwl security system, their cameras didn't last, I attempted to order more from them but they were expensive and didn't work as advertised. I found these Blue Fish cameras and they work wonderful, they plugged right in the NightOwls' BNC/Power cord, and not one ounce of problem PLUS Blue Fish gives you a larger range of choices in lenses, everything is not 6mm like at NightOwl.I will definitely buy more Blue Fish cameras to replace the NightOwl cameras.

Pros
  • 12.8 ounces
Cons
  • Slow response time to alerts and notifications

could be a best buy for the money if--------

I like the camera in general. I've bought a couple of the 1000 tvl model and maybe 3 of the updated 1200 tvl. I've had one fail because it took on water. it's just a thought, but I think if they were to add a shield cover and maybe lower the price a bit it would be i a best buy for the money contender .

Pros
  • BlueFishCam
Cons
  • Easily dislodged from its mount

It was a great surprise to find these Blue Fish cameras. I had purchase several "discount" but well reviewed cameras to add to our home security system. Those lasted about a year before the color went crazy and they just were not working as they should or with one of them the video just died, and none of our cameras are out in the weather even though they all were supposed to be "all weather" cameras.First off, I had to change nothing but the cameras themselves as the video and…

Pros
  • This camera is compatible with most CCTV systems, so you can easily integrate it into your current security setup.
Cons
  • Prone to false alarms and notifications

The perfect replacement for stock Night Owl cameras!

This is a VAST improvement from the stock cameras that come on Night Owl systems. I was about to give it 4 stars because I fought the mounting "wing nut" to the point of thinking something was wrong, but after i got off the ladder i reminded myself that all camera mounts suck in some fashion or another.and when i saw the image they displayed, I decided it would get 5 stars, because i cant give 4.75. It is definitely much better than a 4 star camera, but i digress.once you get the thing…

Pros
  • Better camera than came with the security system. I'm already planning on ordering more!
Cons
  • Overpriced compared to other security cameras

Five Stars: my feedback

I was just sure that 1000TVL would be better than 800 TVL, not so much. This camera was placed overlooking a driveway, and when Mother Nature decided to turn on the sunshine, everything got real bright virtually eliminating the detail in the view. Then come nightfall, and dark, the IR kept blinking. Not good. Good performance.

Pros
  • Home Security Systems
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with mobile devices

If you don't have a DVR that will handle these 1000tvl cameras. NO You're not going to have a better picture than your old cameras. I see a lot of people complaining that these cameras aren't any better quality than their old ones. If you have a 420tvl- 620tvl, etc DVR. You're not going to get a better picture than your old cameras. You need to upgrade your DVR to at least a 960h before you'll get a high quality picture with these cameras. These cameras are easily equal to 720p if they are…

Pros
  • Remarks: Please note that this item is 1/4 CMOS chips match with 2.8mm lens, the angle is 75.6°. it's near 1/3 inch chips with 3.6 mm, narrower than 1/3 chips with 2.8mm lens. You can see details from our product images.
Cons
  • Inconsistent performance in low light conditions

Good choice if. good for me

Compared to other cameras, this one has some odd features. for instance, the wire from the camera is exposed and sunlight makes it brittle. the mount is integrated and subject to vibration loosening. and finally, the unit is not as happy at night if there are lamps near by, as the circuit needs time to reset after the nearby motion activated lamps come on, and later after they go off. select a location to mount this unit that is not sensitive to the above conditions and you'll be happy with its

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
  • Limited mounting options

Working cameras and replacement

The first cameras were good with the exception of one. It had a problem. The replacement works as well as the rest .at this point I am well pleased with them.they work well in keeping track of deer trying to eat branches on fruit trees.

Pros
  • some what pleased
Cons
  • Requires frequent cleaning and maintenance

Clear picture. Flexible mounting.

I've been pleased with this camera. The picture isn't razor-sharp, but it's what I'd expect for the money.As shown in the pictures, it can be mounted from the top or the bottom. That's really useful. I've had some cameras with built-in mounts that I couldn't use in certain locations.When mounted from the top, the thumb screw secures the metal sun shade. Since I mounted mine from the bottom, it would have been nice to have had an extra thumbscrew.One thing worth noting for some whose picture…

Pros
  • Package Include: 1x Analog Security CCTV Camera
Cons
  • Short recording time

Works with Night Owl

This camera is awesome for the price. We have a "Night Owl" system at our office and we bought this one as a test. The viewing angle this a lot wider. the night vision is 100x better. and they are so cheap! They work great. We are now replacing all the cameras on our system with these!

Pros
  • Works like it is advertised to do can see my entire back yard
Cons
  • Difficult installation process

Great cameras good for me

These cameras are fantastic. I bought the Night owl security system with DVR and 8 cameras. The cameras are ok for the price but i would upgrade as they quite working (within a years time) to the Blue fish. They are fantastic during the day and awesome at night.

Pros
  • Great camera for the price!
Cons
  • High maintenance cost
