Anpvees CCTV Camera HD 1080p 4-In-1 (TVI/AHD/CVI/CVBS) Security Dome Camera Analog 2.8mm-12mm Varifocal Lens 100ft IR Indoor & Outdoor Weatherproof IP66 ?Gray?

I purchased this analog camera to suppliment my 20+ cameras around my property because it has some interesting features. First, an easy to adjust focus. Most of my other cameras have a fixed focus that can not be adjusted. This camera has a focus adjustment that is easy to access. Second, this camera has a manual optical zoom. The zoom is very powerful, I expected maybe a 3 to 1 zoom, but this is much much stronger. I first set it up with the zoom adjusted as far as it could go because the intersection is probably 40 feet from the camera. I ended up zoomed in on a patch of grass. I then decided to back it off all the way and turn the screw about a quarter turn, then played with it slightly till I had the result I wanted. Because this is an optical zoom, the quality of the picture does not degrade when you zoom in. I was impressed with this feature as you might be able to tell from my praising of it. :-)The camera is bigger and heavier than I expected. I have other dome cameras that are about half this cameras size and no where near the quality of construction. The camera itself is encased in a metal ball. It is very well made and I expect it will last me many years.Because of the cameras size, weight and adjustments to zoom and focus you need to make, I suggest the install be a two person project. I installed this camera by myself while I was home alone. I really wished I had a second set of hands while mounting it and I did a lot of adjusting, running in the house, looking at the results of my adjustments and then running back out to make more adjustments. Do yourself a favor and get a buddy to help you. It can be installed by one person, but two is better.Picture quality, daytime color and night vision are all excellent. For the price, I don't see you finding a better dome camera!

Love these cameras will work with most any system, And I highly recommend these over any of the other domes. I tried different cameras for about 6 years all of them never lasted very long nor did they have the optical zoom feature or the quality of these.

Thanks

Purchased this for my dad to watch his deer in the back yard. He doesn't have internet. I also purchased a 12v 5A power adapter, 50 feet of BNC cable and a BNC to RCA cable so he can plug directly into his television. Now all he has to do is switch inputs on his remote to view the wildlife in the back yard. Did not need a DVR.

I have had this camera now for about 3 weeks and after resolving a connection issue with the BNC cable set (ground), i am very satisfied with the clarity both during daytime and night mode with IR. Easy to set up, easy to install. Not as high a profile as larger or bullit cameras. I intend to purchase more as part of a system upgrade. Connection issue seems to be common but easily fixed. There is a link for the fix as a utube video.helped in solving a problem with video drops on another camera.
