Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Q-See QSC48030 High Resolution Weatherproof CCD Camera w/80ft of Night Vision (Color)
Customer Review: Great surveillance camera!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these cameras, along with one each of two different Q-See cameras, and have been very happy with all of them.
One thing to note is that cameras like this, which feature IR illumination, don't work that great when mounted behind glass -- the reflection from the glass window can reflect the IR illumination back to the camera lens, and result in a hazy, indistinct image at night.
In my case, there is enough illumination from streetlights that i really don't need the IR, so I just unscrewed the lens, removed the IR circuit board, and everything is great. The camera can see in near-darkness without the help of IR illumination.
For my application, the lens isn't quite as wide as I would like -- Q-See has some other cameras with a wider lens -- but for many applications, the field of view is just fine.
Overall, a well-built camera well-sealed against the elements, with very high quality video, and a nice robust mount. And it has a serious, "don't mess with me" appearance that should give potential thieves or vandals the desire to move on to softer targets. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Many cameras tested

Ok heres the info that I was lookin for but had to find it the hard way. First off I was looking for a camera that had good range, clear picture and the ability to see clear at night. For the price this camera is well better than the others in the same range. In fact probably the all around best for the price. It offers a wider picture, A little bit more distance and a slightly clearer picture. But a fact you should know!!! I mounted this camera and with a day or so I caught my car getting robbed. The distance was about 30 to 40 feet and it was impossible to make out a face. The burglar stopped the car and the car was difficult to spot make model and accurate color but with some effort got it done. If your intention is to catch someone in the act and be able to prosecute them, upgrade to some better models. Spend the money. My things were still taken and all I can do now is watch it happen. Nothing else. I have tried all the cameras just about and all the different ranges. This is the best one but like I said before, you get what you pay for. Hope this helps.Customer Review: quality picture

A much better picture quality that the cameras that come bundled with the low end QSee Dvrs. The night vision is the biggest improvement over my other cameras - i am tempted to replace my others just for the improved night vision. The color is much better also. I was hoping the picture on this camera would be clear enough to read a license plate from 30 feet away, but its not. This makes a good front door camera though, because you can get much better facial recognition. I docked this camera 1 star because it is a purple color which is different from the color in the ad. Also, the cables that come out of the camera only are about 2 feet long, and for me I put my camera about 3 feet from where the cables go into my attic, the the connectors to the extension are clearly visible, making it tempting for someone to disconnect the camera and steal it.. Other than that no complaints.Customer Review: EXCELLENT SECURITY CAMERA
Summary: 4 Stars
Great picture night and day. If you want to get a picture of the bad guys that will stand up in court this is the one to buy. I've tried the lower resolution cameras and you can't get a good picture of their face. The only reason I didn't give this camera 5 stars is because it needs the ability to sense when security lights are on. The low light camera feature only turns off in daylight and floodlights tend to wash out anything light in color like faces and license plates. I plan on adding more of these cameras to my Q See DVR system because I've found that one camera isn't enough . I only have one camera now and I just came home to find my passenger side window smashed on my car. The perpetrator manage to stay out of sight of the camera.Customer Review: Great Camera For The Price!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought two of these to accompany the SVAT CV31. I am very impressed with the quality of night time video. I also saw the rings on my monitor that many others have noted, I was able to adjust the settings through my DVR to bring the brightness down a bit and it looks pretty good.
The two cameras that I bought had different cables and adapters but they both work well. My only complaint is the glowing red IR rings that are a dead give away that I'm recording them. My SVAT camera does not glow (but the picture's not as clear at night either). I was hoping to be a little more covert. Anyway, it may work out to deter the problem.
Overall, I am very satisfied.
