Yes to identify someone at night, it needs light, allot of it haha.
But in day time it is actually not bad at all.
I had very , but really, very low expectations of this model.
Especially when the pictures came about the wrong lens etc etc, but now when i have it in real life.
Sure it can be better but for this money i don't think you will find much better then this.
Anyway, i had to try haha.
3 x 5Mp coming my way now thanks to your review, maybe someone likes what they see in this review and think its something for me.
I do have a
IR light, but it sucks, its like a cheap 100W light with the tubes they use in the construction
IT is filled with IR led's but it is a bundled beam instead of nice wide spread so it won't do much except beaming to a certain point.
At my house i am planning to put up LED floodlights at all locations where my cam's are and when someone passes the IR or light barriers the lights will turn off.
So if they do not really produce a great image at night this in my situation then not such a big problem.
( this is located at my parents house btw right now)
