I'm probably going to have to buy a different camera now - one that will work at a greater distance in the dark. However, there is a glaring problem between the Amazon description, and the one printed on the package. I don't know about anybody else, but I find there is a big difference between 9 feet and 100 feet. I bought this camera based on its specs, which appeared to be pretty good. The Amazon description reads "lets you see up to 100 feet (30 meters) in total darkness". I haven't actually tried the camera outside, to see how far it will be able to record images in the dark, but I was expecting 100 feet when I bought it (paid extra for that). The packaging clearly reads "the 11 infra-red LEDs project invisible light up to 2-3m/6-9ft".
One last thing don't even try and get in touch with tech support as it's overseas and all you can do is leave a message that they don't return. I called into customer service and was told that the camera is not to be mounted where it will be in direct sunlight even though its advertised as an outdoor camera. When i open the box the lense on the camera was smashed in pieces and would'nt work. I had to pay for shipping to return the camera and received the replacement about 10 days later. Swann was been a complete waste of time and money, since then i've found other cameras online that i should have bought the first time. My first camera was working for about 15 min when it crashed. I called in again and was told i would have to pay for shipping again if i wanted to return it.
It's unfortunate they didn't put in a better sensor. In their favor is the fact that the camera housing is metal, not plastic.
I am puzzled as to why the higher priced cameras offered by Swann are rated LOWER than this one. The features described on the Amazon page are patently misleading.
Before you buy, check out the manufacturers website.and then keep on shopping for something else that actually lives up to the hype. The one they used is no better than the X-10 garbage.
The image is NOT the quality they tout in fact it is fuzzy even under the best conditions. The effective range in total darkness, is NOT 100 ft, but more like 15ft.
Also, don't bother to complain to Swann because they will not answer any questions, and will refer you to the website instead which often doesn't have all the information.
If you want to catch people who mess with your personal property, such as your car, or your garage, etc. this is THE item that will help you.
