Mace CAM53CIR Weatherproof Long Range IR Color Camera with Audio

This CCTV camera is one of a very few that offers audio.. and is priced very reasonable.. and easy to install :)
I installed this camera for a friend which helped her Ex Son Inlaw get 90 days in the local county Jail for violation of the protection Order they had against him :)
A picture may only be worth 1,000 words but a video can get you 90 days or more ....lol

I have tried several cameras in this price range all different brands and I think this camera does well during daylight, but in the dark it does not. The LED's seem to only light up the center of the image and the edges are dark. The less the contrast the more washed out the image is at night.
The mounting bracket is a little hard to work with, but it allows many different positions which is good. I also liked the size of this camera not to big to hide under eves.

Generally Lorex is my favorite brand for security cameras. But this camera is the best I've used ever. It has a far wider view angle. So it's perfect for home use. What surprised me the most was that it has great visibility in extreme darkness. Colors (yes color) can be determined in the dark. The only complaint I have is the odd mounting bracket. It allows the camera to be mounted from top, bottom, or off any angled object. But the bracket is hard to tighten up without messing up the camera position. Aside from that, this is one awesome camera.

Previously to purchasing this camera I did my home work and found this particular camera the perfect one for my needs at a very fair price. Well the camera is very good...clean images and such,but it was not until I spent another $33 for two BNC to RCA adapters and purchased additional cable would I even know that. So at least I can give you the heads up so you can be more prepared then I was. This camera only comes with 42 inches of cable and does NOT come with standard VCR hook ups.

I needed a camera to see all of my front yard , my culdesac, and provide a clear detailed view. This camera far surpasses my expectations. I purchased two cameras prior to this one for the same purpose. However, they were ineffective for the goal I had in mind. This camera took both of thier places and I now use them for different purposes. You will be amazed with not only how much it sees, but how clearly it sees it.
