This camera offered by Security Camera King is an excellent camera and I don't think you will be disappointed in the least. The camera can record in true 1080p resolution at a fluid, real time rate of 30 frames per second. Like most network IP megapixel cameras it can record at lower resolutions if you desire and it's dual stream which means that while it is pumping out the large amount of data for the 1080p 30 frame per second recording, it is also pushing a second stream at a lower resolution (D1 or CIF) at 30 frames per second to reduce bandwidth overload and make monitoring easy. It can also record to an optional on board Micro SD card. The SD card use is a little cumbersome because in order to insert or access the card clot, the camera has to be unscrewed from the back cover while it is mounted. The camera cable comes with a quite a pigtail connection with the following connectors. There is an RJ45 female port for connecting the Ethernet or network cable, a reset button for setting the camera back to factory default settings in the event that your system causes you to make changes that you either didn't record somewhere or totally forgot (bit of humor implied there), a BNC video out connection for use as a monitoring output, audio in and out ports (RCA variety) for sound and an input output port which can be used with the alarm function for one. Overall, it's a very good camera and it produces high quality video recordings as well as good quality monitoring pictures. I would recommend it.

I recently purchased the Security Camera King IPOB-EL2MPIR50 2 megapixel IP weatherproof Network Bullet IR Security Camera and I am writing you to tell you how much I enjoy this camera and to provide you with a review for your Security Camera King.com web site. The camera was easy to mount and the video it records is absolutely amazing. I couldn't believe the detail that I got from this camera. The picture is very clear and color correct and not the slightest bit jerky or noisy. This is my first IP megapixel network camera, but I can guarantee you it won't be my last. I currently do not own an NVR or a hybrid but I do own a DVR. This camera has a BNC output and since it creates two different streams of video data (one for recording and one for monitoring) I can monitor the camera with my DVR and record in full resolution to a 32 Gigabyte SD card. I use local power with it; that is, I do not use POE but rather a power supply that is plugged in near the site of the camera. The 3.3 to 12mm varifocal lens is especially helpful for "zeroing" in on that perfect shot that I need. I'm very satisfied with this camera and I would gladly recommend it to anyone.

This camera has a lot going for it and I really like the quality of the video it records. It's pretty good with low light sensitivity too. This IP megapixel camera can even use a Micro SD card (kind of unusual I think for bullets) so you can record right to the card and the camera can be used as a standalone unit without the need for a hybrid DVR/NVR or an NVR. It also has two alarm inputs and one alarm output and a BNC video output to use with a DVR. I use this as a gate camera so I also use the input/output channels for the audio and have a mic connected next to the camera. Even though the camera has good low light sensitivity it still operates in an infrared mode as well with a range of about 50 feet. The really nice feature about this camera as an IP megapixel camera is that it has a 3.3 -12mm varifocal lens. You don't get a lot of zoom power out of the lens but you can narrow up your shot considerably. Would I recommend this camera to someone else? Of course, it works great and it is really near the top of the line in quality.

If you've never used a megapixel security camera before but have used analog cameras in the past, you will be amazed at the difference between the two and how much of an area this camera can actually cover with its fine detail. The pigtail on this camera has a connector for just about everything it seems. Not only doe it have the expected RJ45 Ethernet connection but it also has a BNC connector for DVR use, an audio in and an audio out (RCA) jack, an alarm wire connection, a 12 VDC power connector, and a master reset button when held in the down position for 3 to 5 seconds will reset all the camera's settings to the camera defaults. You can also record to a Micro SD card (32 gig maximum capacity and you'll have to purchase it separately) if you don't have an NVR or want to use the camera in standalone mode. In fact the camera can be connected to your DVR to monitor and recorded to the micro SD card in full 2 megapixels. It also is an infrared mode operating camera with its own set of infrared LED illuminators that give it a range of up to 50 feet in total darkness. The camera has a GUI or an OSD whichever you prefer to call it that contains a multitude of features and options, to many of which to go into detail here. Let me just say that I am thoroughly satisfied with the quality and output of this camera and would definitely recommend it to others.

There's only one thing that could beat the quality of video produced by this camera and that's the same camera with a 3 megapixel output. For a small security camera this thing outputs a video that almost as good as a motion picture! It's a true 2 megapixel camera too so it can record 1080p (2 Megapixels) at 30 frames per second (or "real time" as they call it). It's got all the functions and features that come with a good quality IP camera including audio inputs and outputs, a BNC connector, a master reset button on the pigtail, and even an infrared mode with built in IR LEDs that have a range of about 50 feet. You can also record in standalone as the board accepts a 32 gig maximum Micro SD card. Good unit!

There are a lot of good things about Security Camera King's IPOB-EL2MPIR50 2 Megapixel IP Weatherproof Bullet camera (the long product number not being one of them...Ha!). For starters, here's what I consider to be the top three. 1. It records at a full 2 megapixels (that's the same thing as 1080p) at a real time rate (that's the same thing as 30 frames per second). The video picture is incredibly detailed and realistic, the colors are good, and the motion is very smooth and life like. 2. It has a 3.3 - 12mm varifocal lens so you can select the type of shot you want to get exactly what you want captured on video. 3. It's a pretty sensitive day/night camera which means that it is rated for a minimum amount of illumination for color at 0.1 LUX and for black and white at 0.01 LUX, and that is in addition to the fact that it also has an infrared mode with built in infrared LED illuminators that can give it a range of about 60 feet in total darkness. There are other benefits too. Unlike most box cameras this bullet camera already comes "packed" in a weatherproof housing so it doesn't have to be placed in a housing to protect it before mounting. Speaking of mounting, this bullet camera also comes with its own mount so you don't have to buy anything extra. As far as operation is concerned, it's pretty difficult to top a good IP megapixel camera like this one. You can record it to a variety of sources besides just an NVR like a personal computer or even to an on board 32 gig Micro SD card. If you have a network with a power switch you can use Power Over the Ethernet or PoE too. It also accepts alarm inputs and outputs, analog (BNC connector) video output, and audio in and out. I know we are happy with this camera and I'm sure you will be too!

I don't care what anyone says, you can't beat an IP megapixel camera when it comes to quality. Granted this cameras and systems are a lot more expensive than the analog TVL resolution systems, but hey, you get what you pay for. The only thing that can make a megapixel camera better is when the camera itself has extra or specific options and features that make it more versatile or highly specialized for use. This camera basically falls into the first camera, it has so many features and connections that it is a very versatile camera with a lot of possibilities to offer. For example you can record this camera to a hybrid DVR/NVR, an NVR, or even a personal computer. You can also use the camera as a standalone deviant (that's my terminology). I call them standalone deviants, when, like this camera, they have the capability to connect to a DVR for monitoring and record in high resolution to an on board SD or Micro SD card. This camera can handle a Micro SD card with a maximum size of 32 gigs. The camera also has connections available for audio in and audio out as well as a connector for setting it up with alarm triggers and outputs. As long as I am on the topic of the camera's pigtail basically, it also has a master reset button. If you are anything like me and aren't exactly the Bill Gates of networking settings and such you may find that during your set up you've made an error with the configuration of your camera. Not to worry--just push the master reset button and everything returns to factory defaults. The camera offers an excellent display and recording quality being able to record 1080p resolution at a full 30 frames per second rate. It also supports dual encoded streams so that it can send the high resolution stream to the recorder and a lower resolution stream for monitoring on the network thereby reducing bandwidth. This is an excellent camera that comes with its own solid moveable mount. I would recommend this camera to anyone!

Security Camera King's 2 Megapixel IP Weatherproof Network Bullet IR Security Camera is a fine camera (pun intended). It seriously is a well performing camera and the quality of the recorded video is truly outstanding. On first sight, it would appear to the "non-technical" eye that it is actually more expensive than Security Camera King's 3 Megapixel IP box camera, however when you examine the technical aspects of the camera you realize that it really isn't "more for less" as it may appear. First, this camera is what I call a "true" 2 megapixel camera. The 3 Megapixel camera records at 3 megapixels but at a reduced frame rate of 15 frames per second. It only records at real-time (30 frames per second) at a reduced resolution of 2 megapixels or 1080p. Not so here. This 2 megapixel bullet camera records at a real-time rate at the full 2 megapixels it is marketed as. I'm not putting down the 3 megapixel box camera, but rather trying to show a comparison between it and the bullet to demonstrate why the "appearance" of a higher price for the bullet really isn't more. Secondly, the 3 megapixel box camera requires a lens, preferably Security Camera King's IP megapixel lens which currently sells for an additional $89.95. The bullet comes with its own varifocal lens built in. Thirdly, if your going to use the box camera outdoors, you'll need to by a camera housing--the bullet is already weatherproof and doesn't require it. Both cameras are excellent cameras but I just thought I would point out the differences and how they relate to price after I got into an argument with a couple of co-workers who tried to tell me the bullet was more expensive for the contents than the box camera. Hope this helps!

I'm new to the world of IP megapixel cameras and NVRs and such but I really like the quality of the video produced by these systems and this camera isn't no exception. The video quality is simply amazing and so is the camera all around. I get a little confused with the way these megapixel and NVRs describe the resolution. Sometimes they say "2 megapixels" but only really record at 30 frames per second at 1.3 megapixels or 720p. Then you have to settle for 15 frames per second recording at its listed resolution. Not so with this camera, it is a true 2 megapixel camera, it records at 2 megapixels (1080p) at 30 frames per second but it can go as low in resolution all the way down to CIF. It's got a 3.3 to 12 mm varifocal lens that helps to zoom in on a shot and it also has it's own built in infrared LEDs for illumination. I get just about the full 50 feet range that is listed for the camera. It's pretty low light sensitive and of course with the IR mode on you can still see very clearly at night in black and white. The mount in the picture appears to be a fixed straight post but their are actually pivot points at the post and right behind the camera so you can adjust the aim of the camera in just about any direction.

First of all if you're not familiar with IP cameras, when you buy one of these you're not only getting a camera but you're getting a mini camera-DVR combination in one. Second, when you use one of these cameras you've got so many choices on where and how to record that at least one method has to work for you. As far as this specific camera goes, it works great! It produces a 2 megapixel video recording (1080p) resolution at 30 frames per second (real-time). If you have a network you'll be happy to know that it can do Power Over the Ethernet (POE) so you won't have to run an extra power cable, just the CAT5 cable will do the job. It supports dual encoding streams so it can send one high quality stream for recording and another lesser quality (and less bandwidth or data rate) stream for monitoring. If you need to use this as a standalone video camera it will accept a maximum size SD card for local storage of 32 GB. It has lots of features like gain control, white balance, day/night, and so on and it really produces a very nice video picture. It even supports BNC video output and 1 channel of audio input and output! Very good piece of equipment!
