Camera Image Quality Reviews

Post by amerdsp »

Greetings,
Is there a place that lists some reviews of security cameras? It is difficult to buy an expensive camera without knowing its strengths and weaknesses. Manufacturers provide specs about their products but that does not mean that the products perform up to specs.

Best,

A

all reviews are subjective. If you go with a professional cam then most are ok, but its the luck of the draw with the tat thats out there

Yes, what James says.

It's a shame and I share your concerns. I've been playing with the things intensively for over a year and I still don't have total confidence when ordering ip cams unless I've already got one of the same model.

There are plenty of drawbacks working in a relatively new sector (IP) of a very specialised industry.

well if you want ip then the safest bet is axis. but pana's work. YOu can only go for sure with what you have tested. If you want a composite camera i recomned the bosch dinions or pana super d's or baxall. the samsungs are getting better. but if you for a £100 special then who knows
