ANNKE 1080p Security Camera 4-in-1 CCTV Bullet Wired Cam, AHD/TVI/CVI/CVBS, Analog Surveillance Video Add–On Cams for Outdoor Use, 100ft Clear B & W Night Vision (Power Adapter BNC Cable Not Included)

These cameras do a descent job of you being able to see your property. When you can't afford the high priced ones, these are to me the next best thing.

Actually impressed with the picture quality for the price. I have an old system so didn’t want to spend a lot on a replacement camera. Extended the life of my current system.

I have bought several replacements for it for the Cobra system Wish it had better wider view Capabilities. Has night vision that works for very well

I bought an 8 camera dvr that came with 4 cameras, intending to use some of my existing composite video cameras for the remaining 4 ports... Of course after a while with the 720 line cameras, I realized the old 480 line cameras were not very useful, so I have been aching for an upgrade. I looking at the options, and I saw this one was full HD, and it supported the three different standards for analog HD over coax, which is the common signal type for security DVR's. So this camera can use the same cabling as your older low resolution SD 480 line cameras, but it produces the full HD image for hd capable security DVRs. It has a pair of dip switches for selecting beteewn TVI, AHD, CVBS, and CVI. Keep in mind that these standards are analog, so the cable length and cable quality still have a big effect on the signal quality. The camera itself is digital, but the signals for the coax have to be analog for these standards. Comparing the 1080 camera to my existing 720 cameras, the differences are striking, as I have a much larger field of view with the new 1080 line camera. The older model C11N 720 line camers have a narrower field of view, so the ability to resolve details is about the same, but the 1080 has a much larger image. Both cameras have the same 3.6mm lens, but the camera chip on the new camera is larger, giving it a wider field of view from the same lens. So it is kind of hard to do too much of a side by side comparison, but the pixels seem to be about the same size, but now I can see the whole driveway with just one camera. I have some IP cameras I have been working with, and they perform very well, but you must run new cables, or depend on wifi for those to work. The big advantage of this model I am reviewing is I can just replace the existing cameras and not have to run new wires, and enjoy a big improvement, and they cost a lot less than IP cameras. I had a large number of IP cameras, and while I always like them in the begining, they ALL fail within 1 or 2 years, or they keep crashing. The standard cameras that run over coax tend to work forever, I have had zero failures with this camera type. The camera is of sturdy metal construction, just like my other Annke cameras. It comes with it's own swivel mount, with an allen wrench to tighten it once you have it in position. It also has a tripod thread mount you can use if you have an existing mount you want to reuse. The swivel comes right off using the included allen wrench. The metal case is well sealed, I've never had any of my Annke cameras leak or get internally fogged, like some of the cheaper cameras. So it should be very durable. The Annke night vision is superior to others I have used because the LED illuminators have their own glass. separated from the glass covering the lens. This is an important feature, because the other brands of night vision cameras I have tried have one glass covering the camera and LED's, which causes glare when in night mode. The other brands put a black ring behind the glass to block the glare, but the glass conducts the glare right past the ring. The Annke design cures this problem, and produces a clean and clear night vision performance. So once again, Annke has produced a nice, solid performing, affordable camera. It drops into an existing camera installation using the existing wire, and has modes to support the various standards for coax based security cameras, so it should work with most analog DVRs. Installing the cables can be the most expensive part of a security rollout, so it is nice that you can reused your existing infrastructure. Well done, Annke!

So far so good. Replaced a Samsung camera that went bad. Easy install, worked immediately, and video quality looks as good and maybe even better than the original camera.

We have been using these guys for several years .. very good. Night vision. Record regardless..

Instruction quality: um, well it says not to mount where it can be rained or snowed on or in the shade or in direct sunlight. It also says not to aim at window glass. For an outdoor camera.... well you make up your mind. Also have a high powered magnifying glass handy to actually read the instructions. They are practically microscopic. Security: it's plastic so it wouldn't be very difficult to bash it down if one were to smack it with a bat or something but I mounted mine up as high as I could so I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best. Camera quality: it's easy enough to switch it between modes using the button after you unscrew the cover but the instructions don't even mention the mode button so I got that info from another review here. The image field isn't nearly as wide as the prior camera but for now it will do. Functionality: it works pretty much as expected. I connected it to my NightOwl Security DVR via the same cable that the prior camera used. Lag: Any lag I see I would attribute more to the overly long cable I have connected to this camera than the camera itself. Next summer I intend to replace the cable with a shorter one and if the camera doesn't improve at that point I'll replace the camera.

Clear vision for the camera and very satisfied
