Summary: great value
Comment: We were needing a good security camera for our small pool this camera was a perfect start. Night vision is good upto about 30 feet +/- and day quality is great upto 60 feet +/-.

Summary: Good Camera - Poor Customer Service
Comment: This camera is pretty good, worth the price. Works great.
Had an issue I couldn't figure out... so I called Q-See tech support. Gave up after spending 1.5 hours on hold. Sent an e-mail... no response after 5 days still. Worthless customer service is the only reason this doesn't get 5 stars.

Summary: Overall a really good picture, lens, night vision, and mounting system
Comment: I bought 2 cameras from q-see - their $150 "100 foot" night vision camera and their $230 "65 foot" night vision high resolution camera (this one).
Both cameras come with everything to get your camera connected to a vcr or digital recorder which is a pleasant surprise. The big difference is this unit uses a Sony 1/3" CCD and their other one is using some smaller, no name CCD chip with alot of noise at night and a washed out picture during the day. Putting their images side by side you clearly see the difference.
As for the night performance, the 65 foot unit outperforms the 100 foot unit. Night images ARE color on both cameras (some switch to black/white or green/white)
The mounting bracket on this unit is a little more secure (both in rigidness and security to keep your camera). It also has 2 weatherproof rings (they are barely visable in the photo underneath the tube) used to adjust the zoom and focus on the lens, something their cheaper cameras don't have. This can make a big difference in getting your desired area of protection in frame and also making your DVR's motion detection work properly.
I would buy this model again, simply because the image is so good both day and night. The zoom's range is not tremendous like some of the 20-30X zooms, but it is better than a fixed focal length camera. The mount is also very flexible and can be hung from above or below and is much better machined.
This same camera/lens is also made using higher power IR LED's at a 100+ foot distance specification and sold for a higher price in the same case. Unfortunately the detail you can capture at 100 feet isn't significant so the high end model is probably not ideally designed - it needs a more powerful zoom lens to be useful.
To sum it up - this will give you a great image from 5-65 feet day or night, with day images out to 300 feet usable with great color. It's the middle of the road in Q-see's day/night product line and a good match of quality components.
