Swann Bulldog Security Camera Reviews
The schedule is setup to record 1/2 hour "shows", every 1/2 hour. Picture quality is good, night recordings are good. I recommend this camera for security recordings. It was a hassle at the time, but the camera has been worth the money spent. I can still record regular shows on one tuner while the camera is being recorded on the other tuner. My application has low level street lighting which provide enough light to give me a clear picture of the activity. I installed this camera on the roof in September 2007, and it still performs well after a hard winter.
Their software update killed my first setup, and I had to find this work around. It broke very easily. The camera "head" is far too big and heavy for the base. 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. Tivo, Inc.
The camera had exposure to snow and rain, and more snow, and now rain rain rain rain and freezing rain. Perhaps they've made the newer units with better bases. The specs say it will work down to 32 degrees (f), but if worked well even though we had numerous days below zero. has the right to do whatever they want to your Tivo - and they will). I haven't had to call for support, but I wouldn't expect gold star support for $100 cameras. (Note: Tivo does not support this use.
The camera is connected a Dual-Tuner Tivo, and the tivo is tricked into thinking it is a satellite dish. 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. the only problem I had all winter was a smudge on the lens. it never seemed to be bothered by the brutal winds or temps.
That's a sweet setup. 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. 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. (Think Bobble-head) I had to improvise the installation to provide a solid connection to the building.
I have been looking for a good baby monitor and none of them seem to have good reception and privacy. Full color and night vision she can keep taps on the baby with peace of mind without inference and privacy concerns since it is hard wired and not wireless. So I bought this camera to put in the baby's room and hook to our television in the bedroom and living room television. (You will have to have a cheap baby monitor for sound). My wife loves it. Been thinking about purchasing more in the future. You will have to drill a few holes to get set up and run some wire but its worth at the end.
I have been very happy with these cameras. This Camera has great picture quality, good resolution, good range, crisp night vision, all at an affordable price and in a low profile. I have 3 of these in a 4 camera set up, and plans to replace the one off.
i found this camera to work very well, images were sharp and clear with good night vision compaired to others i have had in the past,i would like to see it come with a wide angled lens for more area coverage its a bit tight for the area i want to cover,i will see how well it works this winter as it gets much colder here then its rated for.
Stay far, far away from the Q-See cameras. I've got 2 Q-See 4-channel PCI capture cards, which work well. They are advertised as having similar capabilities as these, but daylight picture is grainy, washed out, and extremely dark. Night vision was useless. The Sylvania cameras have good daylight pictures, but not quite as sharp as the Swann Bulldog. I'm using 2 of these cameras, 3 Q-See cameras, and 3 Sylvania cmeras. This camera has excellent daylight picture, and good night vision capability from 20-30 feet.
