Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)

This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)

Great Budget Security Cam
If you’re looking to protect your home and don’t have a big budget to do so this camera is a great way to save money and secure your home. I really like the 2K quality on the cam and the fact that it has night vision with a built-in spotlight is a huge plus for me. It comes with all the hardware you need to mount it. Paired up with the solar panel and it makes it an even better buy.
