what kind of resolution is this camera? - what is the range of the IR lighting? - is it weatherproof?

Resolution is maybe 300 x 200 (low but ok for what you pay). It is not weatherproof but rain resistant. The range of the IR lighting is not too great but ok for anything within 10 feet or so. There are probably better cameras out there in that price range now.

I can not tell you the exact resolution, however, I can tell you that I can easily see small details of faces, clothes etc. as if you were looking out the window at them. Of course, the resolution of the monitor is the limiting factor. IR range is about 20 feet or so. Any farther and you can not recognize the person. It is NOT weather proof.

The resolution is reasonable, will show facial features if area is "well" lit as in daylight, useful IR range at best is less than 20ft, you WILL NOT be able to read licences plates. Night operation is ok if plenty of exterior lightning is available. Be careful, these are 9volt cameras NOT 12volt. The GE 45231 Deluxe MicroCam Wired Color Security Video Camera definitely needs to be shielded from the weather. I have several of the GE 45231 camera in operation on my security system. I actually prefer their performance over the expensive high definition cameras. You just need to give them LOTS of lighting. They are very sensitive to over voltage, so again be careful how you power these cameras.

i had this and its wireless version which has a different oval shape. The resolution is so so and works sort of OK at 640x480. Has a very long wire RCA setup wire with it. Maybe hat is the reason why not so good resolution. IR black n white mode is also OK but I did not like this model. The wireless version is much better and has good picture quality. Sells for $100 at lowes.

The res is okay, not HD. I have it in an area not 10ft away and seems to get enough lite(infrared) to see. I have it inside.

It's OK. If you have an outdoor light with motion-sensing capability that would help with image quality. This is my first system, so I don't have much to compare. So far this has been the best camera. I've purchased 3 different types. Lorex, another off brand, and this one. These are the best so far. The more IR lights a camera has the better night vision. 700TVL or higher recommended for any camera. Good luck!

I have yet to try this camera at night. It does, however, work well in low light conditions. I would say that the range for good images is around 15 feet, but this camera does not have the same high resolution as a normal point and shoot.

I would NOT use this outdoors. That being said most cameras rated for outside use and dvr's have motion detection recording as an option. Furthermore, something that has an IR system will not matter if your light comes on or not. Also, keep in mind, if you put a camera too close to a light you may actually degrade the quality of the image you are trying to record as all of that light close to the camera will throw off the image that is darker.

The camera is weather proof, as long as it is not exposed directly to rain or snow. Mine is mounted under the eaves near the front door and I have not had any problems so far.

Camera resolution is poor with cameras that come with unit. My suggestion is to get the better cameras. Yo can make out vehicle type but no way to read the lichens plates. Also inferred light is poor only good for 10 feet. and after a year gets much less than that.. Almost like they wear out and loose power.

The camera SKU is ZMD-P4-YARUZ4ZN, you can check the specification on below page: http://www.zmodo.com/700tvl-high-resolution-day-night-weatherproof-outdoor-camera-kit.html Thanks!

Well this is a full spectrum camera so you would need to block all visible light with a ir filter unless ur in a location that is pitch black, but this camera has a fixed focal length and no optical zoom just digital, so I would not recommend this cam for anything that may be at a distance, maybe the Bell and Howell DNV16HDZ-BKFull 1080p HD 16MP Infrared Night might be better..... it has 10x optical zoom but is a ir cam not full spectrum. Both would need ir filter tho if u want to capture pure ir image only with no visible light. The bell uses 37mm filter this one is a 34mm.

What is "less than optimal light"? Is it indoor lighting? Is it outdoor street lighting? Haven't had a chance to shoot in the night with the weather outside. Indoor, it seems be fine.

SecureCam (SHARX) is being VERY conservative when they tell you the IR range in total darkness is 45 ft. It's more like 45 meters. I have a few of them and they light up object easily over 100 feet away. In fact the IR is so strong I disabled one of them. I use a small $5 IR LED panel which lets me illuminate off axis from the camera. This actually gives me a better image as the shadows help you distinguish more features.

I don't think so as it's not designed as a waterproof camera. I does, however work pretty well indoors in my basement. The IR lights are bright and I can see clearly the entire basement in total darkness.

This is the standard camera. It does not have an IR sensor. You're thinking of the motion-activated camera, which does, and No it does not make a noise.

In my experience, the camera is probably better suited for outdoor use. I tested it indoors before outdoor installation and the sharpness in images seemed better in natural lighting.

It does not have any IR leds (or night vision). It's a 1MP that can run 720p images.

As others have already stated, this is not an outdoor rated camera. Having said that, I have 2 outdoors one in Texas and the other in Colorado. They are protected by being mounted under porches. I am VERY surprised at how well they have worked ... even at temperatures below zero. My only real complaint is the colors are not very good. The greens of trees are showing as browns and reds. Blue of skies is good. If pointing thru a windows, you will need to turn off the infrared. If infrared is on, it reflects on the glass making it useless.All in all, for the price, these are great cameras! As others have already stated, this is not an outdoor rated camera.

It's an outdoor camera, but mine are mounted under the eaves. I can't attest to the weatherproof status of this unit if subjected to direct rain.
