Hey n8xja...
I purchased this camera as well and can vouch for much of what bctrainers notes above, but it sounds like he's had much worse luck than me on a couple of fronts. To be fair, these are not the worst cameras I've bought and I've not had any of the "Mechanical" issues that he has had. In fact, I've had this camera mounted on the eave of my house in Seattle (North Bend WA) for about 2 years and it's managed to survive the rain, cold, and snow). But in the end, you REALLY do get what you pay for, and given what I've seen in terms of software/firmware issues and the terrible IR performance, I couldn't recommend buying them. Spend a bit more and get a decent brand like Hikvision.
My two cents!
