Advantages: Could Deter
Disadvantages: It's not overly realistic

Dummy camera's are a great idea to deter possible intruders. However if your going to get this and mount it at a low level don't get it. You'll want one that looks more realistic. It looks great in the picture, but it's somewhat different in real life. The plastic looks cheap and feels cheap. They simply don't look real and a potential burglar probably wouldn't just ignore it they'd make a point of not stealing it because they don't like it either. ...
...as just a deterent or not. I mean it could be useful as a dummy camera on the left of a building to distract attention from a real one recording on the right hand side of the building for instance. But other than that i wouldn't recommend it. ... Read review

Advantages: unsure
Disadvantages: unsure

I have to say i have never heard of this item ever before in my life. I have had my fair share of cameras so that is a very extroadinery thing. I have been at Ciao for a while but i cannot be bothered to stay here any longer. I just thought i'd leave with a bang! BANG! lol Most of you have probably stopped reading by now but for those still going i would definitely recommend Ciao it just isn't my thing. I hope i haven't wasted too much time in your ...
...for me because i cannot be bothered to tell Ciao i am leaving. Thank you very much if you do. My last review was quite good i could have made a success out of my time here. Shame really :'( Anyway hope you are all healthy, with love, Cherie xxx ... Read review

Advantages: Small and Neat
Disadvantages: No night vision

PICTURE QUALITY Great image as the camera uses the higher quality CCD lens to produce more TV lines than seen on the CMOS style camera’s. The range of the camera will depend on light levels and angle that you are to the camera. On a nice straight on shot you will get a really clear image up to about 5 meters away, anything over that and you start to loose the quality really. If your to the side going across the camera so to speak then you will probably ...
...a decent image. However you will find that you can recognize people in most incidences. DESIGN Nice and tidy small tubular package. About four inches (ooohhh… is that allowed I should say about 10 cm shouldn’t I really?) in length and about 2 cm across it makes it easy to hide but also big enough in a shop to been seen so as to deter people. The tube casing itself is made from aluminum and is completely water proof, with a screw on cap over the ... Read review

Advantages: Full Night Vision Plus Great Day Vision
Disadvantages: Slight Glow At Night, Slightly Larger Than Some

...Well go and get the Swann Day/Night camera. By day this camera is colour, but built into the front is a light level sensor, as soon as dusk is imposed upon the camera and the light drops low enough (to a pre-built in level) the camera not only switches into a black and white mode but it also triggers the infra-red led’s around the camera. What this does is give enough light for the camera to see in pure darkness for up to 10metres away. This is not ...
...it would not alert any body around, or get annoying to any neighbours by having a light coming on or off all night long (however the led’s do give of a faint red glow but nothing much). Basically this camera will give you the best vision by both day and by night. WHAT DO I GET INCLUDED? Well for as little as £50 if you shop round you can get one of these camera’s supplied with 20metres of cable which terminates in three phono leads (oh did I mention ... Read review

Advantages: Small, wireless
Disadvantages: Reception prone to interference, image quality not great

Performance: I wanted this camera to keep an eye on things when I 'had my back turned' so to speak. It is very small and can be mounted anywhere. However, none of this is of any use if the picture quality is not good enough to make out anybody. Although not very good, the picture quality is adequate given the size of the camera. It is no professional camera, but it is'adequate' That is as far as my praise can go. Colour reproduction is relatively ...
...also relatively poor with normal light levels. The CMOS is probably the best size/performance possible. Focusing range is another problem and in perfect conditions don't expect more than a blurr when the subject goes further than a metre or two. It does depend though. The only problem is that wireless transmissions can become garbled and there can be some frame stuttering. Your house and appliances will make a lot of difference. Pluses: Tiny 9V ... Read review
