Customer Review: Junk, Junk, Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
Junk, Junk, Junk. Don't waste your time buying this camera. Mine was bad from day 1. I sent it back to SVAT and after a month, they sent me a whole new unit. I was no better than the first one. Now it's too late to send it back too. The picture is horrible. So bad that my computer did not recognize it as a valid picture.Customer Review: good enough for short term

I've had this for about 15 months. It is useless now. The field is completely washed out and software adjustments don't correct. It worked for a while, but being on 24/7 seems to have affected its ability to automatically adjust for varying light conditions. I must now buy a new one. . .darn. Customer Review: Impressive
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my first foray into CCTV and I must say the functionality of this little camera was impressive. Prior to this, the only familiarity I had with security cameras was watching the grainy, B&W time delayed image from security cameras in commercial settings. The SVAT CV65 camera with color display, night vision and full motion video is splendid, at least to my perception.
Installation was a simple affair with the mounting bracket fastened with three screws, and the 60' of cable being more than long enough for the job (the SVAT brand 60' extension cable is also available if longer reach is required). The output end uses RCA connectors so be sure your display device has those; I had to buy an RF Modulator to hook the camera up to my television set.
In the daytime, the picture is crisp and clear with excellent color contrast. Another review said the colors were substandard, but on mine they were "picture" perfect. What's really a cool feature is the night vision. It's rather fun to watch the monitor at dusk and observe the display slowly changing from color to monochrome as the infrared LED's kick in. What I'm monitoring is only about 8-9 feet from the mounting location so the camera's purported 10-15' night range is more than adequate for my needs.
Supposedly the camera also has audio capabilities, but there isn't much of any noise in the application I'm using it for so I can't evaluate that aspect.
All in all, I'm impressed.
For a CCTV system well under $100.00, you can't go wrong with the SVAT CV65.

This is an ok camera good construction,easy adjustment,easy installation.
Down side,the glowing red led's are a dead give-a-way at night, not a very good camera for home use, because it does not have a wide angle lens, the included lens is a bit out of focus. For the price it should have a wide angle lens.

During the day, the camera displays colors that are not the actual colors: Red is orange, gray is green. The display of reminds you of the first monitors made; green. People faces are greenish. The diplay is not clear--blurred. It was easy to install and adjust. Not good at night. You can't determine the features of a thief within 4 feet even with a floor light. You get a different shade of green. Audio is good. Setup is easy.
