What's not to like? They should call these "Super-Bullet Cameras." This camera records 1080p resolution video at 30 frames per second over regular RG59 coaxial cable and the picture and recording look like something from a TV studio. I've got this camera mounted outside and aimed at my pump aisle and it not only takes them all in but faces are identifiable as well. It's got one heck of an infrared range too at 150 feet. If you compare this camera's output to that of the highest analog bullet camera's output it reminds me of comparing a photograph to a painting of the same thing. You just can't beat the fine resolution. It also has one of those on screen display menus that let's you make adjustments to the settings. I'd recommend this camera to someone in a heartbeat.

I've got to admit, I am really impressed with this camera. The camera was easy to mount; all you have to do is screw the back plate into the wall with four screws, then using the threads on the back plate screw the camera to it. The camera can be aimed in just about any direction, so that's not a problem. There is enough of a lead coming off the camera that I could easily hook the camera up to my old RG59 coaxial cable using the BNC connector. If you haven't had the opportunity to use these relatively new HD-SDI systems and are used to using analog systems like 700 TVL resolution cameras, you'll be shocked at how much more detail you see with the video these cameras record. This particular Security Camera King Camera records in a full 2 megapixels or 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. The camera comes with an On Screen Display menu that is controlled by operating a joystick type button that is built into the camera cable. While the camera does not have wide dynamic range, it has a host of many other features that can be controlled such as brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, automatic exposure, and mirror functions. In addition you can also witch the camera's resolution from 1080p to 720p and back if you prefer, and the different types of color modes (IR-Cut/Black and White/Auto/Color). Security Camera King says it has a 150 foot infrared range in total darkness and I get every bit of that and then some. I would think the average user would, considering the fact that the lens is surrounded by 84 individual LEDs. The final beneficial feature to mention on this camera is that it has a 2.8 to 12 mm varifocal lens. It's really a good value buy. Take a moment and compare this camera to a box camera for example. Security Camera King's cheapest 700TVL box camera is $109.95. The box camera requires a lens and for a 2.8 - 12mm lens you can add another $39.95. If you are going to use the camera outside, a box camera needs a housing with mount, cheapest about $39.95. So for a box camera you would still pay $189.95 and that's only at a 700TVL resolution! Also, an IP megapixel camera far exceeds the price of the TP-OB-HDIR150L2812-B and so does a comparable 2 megapixel IP bullet camera.

Analog box cameras move over; there's a new sheriff in town. We just recently purchased one of the new HD-SDI recording systems and we are replacing each of our older analog cameras with an appropriate HD-SDI camera. This Security Camera King 1080p HD-SDI bullet camera is every bit amazing as the other HS-SDI cameras we've purchased if not even a little more so. This camera looks like an average analog type bullet camera but it delivers a video recording of 2 megapixels or 1080p at 30 frames per second (real time). Better even is the fact that it comes with a 2.8 - 12mm varifocal lens for adjusting your field of view from a wide angle shot (at 2.8mm) to a moderate zoom and narrower angle at 12mm. And, like all these new HD-SDI camera systems cameras, you don't need to remove your old RG59 coaxial cable and rerun it with Cat5E either. Although these cameras themselves do not function like IP network cameras, they do give you the advantage of an IP megapixel camera by being able to transmit data serially over the coaxial cable to give you maximum camera resolution. The detail is amazing and the picture is tremendously higher in quality. Another benefit of this system is that since the cameras are using RG59 coax, they aren't eating away at the bandwidth on your network system because technically the camera is off the network. (The recorder can be connected to the network but the camera transmits directly to the recorder and not over the network). This bullet camera produces a highly detailed picture whether it is in daytime color or night time black and white under infrared conditions. Speaking of which it has an infrared range of about 150 feet with a total of 84 working IR LED illuminators built right in around the lens. If you haven't gotten one of these systems yet but would like to have the detailed resolution video without the hassle of a IP megapixel network systems, I would highly recommend you give these a try.
