Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Swann SW-C-BDOGC Bulldog CCD Day/Night Security w/ LEDs for Night Vision 32ft/10mCustomer Review: good camera, exceeded specs Summary: 5 Stars
I installed this camera on the roof in September 2007, and it still performs well after a hard winter. The specs say it will work down to 32 degrees (f), but if worked well even though we had numerous days below zero. it never seemed to be bothered by the brutal winds or temps.
The camera had exposure to snow and rain, and more snow, and now rain rain rain rain and freezing rain!
the camera is shielded from the north wind, and sits approx 3 feet under a small overhang, but the lens of the cam is not protected by this overhang.
I recommend this camera for security recordings. Picture quality is good, night recordings are good. My application has low level street lighting which provide enough light to give me a clear picture of the activity.
I haven't had to call for support, but I wouldn't expect gold star support for $100 cameras.
the only problem I had all winter was a smudge on the lens. I was considering a call to the factory to demand a technician fix the problem on site, but a high-tech Q-tip solved the problem.
The camera is connected a Dual-Tuner Tivo, and the tivo is tricked into thinking it is a satellite dish. I can still record regular shows on one tuner while the camera is being recorded on the other tuner. The schedule is setup to record 1/2 hour "shows", every 1/2 hour. the recordings are deleted as needed by the Tivo to make space for new recordings. The fast forward ability of a Tivo allows me to view a summary of activity is seconds. That's a sweet setup. (Note: Tivo does not support this use. Their software update killed my first setup, and I had to find this work around. Tivo, Inc. has the right to do whatever they want to your Tivo - and they will)
I just remembered: installation was a bit of a hassle because of the base which holds the camera steady via a very thin aluminum thumb screw. It broke very easily. The camera "head" is far too big and heavy for the base. (Think Bobble-head) I had to improvise the installation to provide a solid connection to the building. It was a hassle at the time, but the camera has been worth the money spent. Perhaps they've made the newer units with better bases?
