it has no adjustment for verticle viewing. it seems to work great but is limited in its verticle capability.
When tested in the house it worked fine but that wasn't what I bought the camera for.The quality of the picture is very good when tested on a 8" LCD display. When put next to a window, which was my intention, the LEDs reflect off the glass surface which makes it impossible to see anything. Q-See QPD308 is a decent camera for its price. My only dissatisfaction with this product is that the LEDs emit a visible red light.
Night-vision is ok and is a nice addition to an otherwise cheap, functional camera.I would not recommend this unit for outdoor surveillance as it can be easily tampered with but if you're just looking for a cheap indoor cam for protection against shoplifting, this camera should suffice. The instructions included were not helpful at all. Having recently purchased the Q-See QSD360 Outdoor Vandalproof Dome CCD Camera (Color) and Q-See QS2350C Weatherproof Color CCD Camera Kit With Built-in Heat Circulating Blower, I decided to give this camera a try since it featured built-in IR LEDs and the lens is hidden within a dome.If you compare the QSD360 and this model, the first thing you'll notice is that this camera is very lightweight and the dome seems to be made out of thin plastic, thus rendering this camera almost useless in outdoor areas where vandals may try to tamper with security devices. When it comes to accurately identifying faces though, I would probably seek a higher resolution camera.A note about the mounting of this camera - I had a hard time getting the bottom mounting plate to actually attach to the camera. You may have to come up with a custom mounting solution because of this. The IR LEDs sit on both sides of the lens and protrude slightly from the dome (the QSD360 does not have any IR LEDs). On a basis of image quality, I would definitely have to go with the QSD360 since the images coming from this camera are somewhat "soft" and do not match up to the degree of clarity of the QSD360.
This product rocks, haven't tested any before this but it's superb for me.Very very clear view.
Since it's indoor only and I have no use for an indoor camera, I can't rate it as to how well it works. I wrote Amazon about this error 2 months ago, and as you can see, it still hasn't been fixed. I bought this as an outside camera-like the title says, so I could monitor my front door. When it arrived, it clearly said "indoor use only".
