    Wired cameras are labor intensive. The cost is a little high but the added features like the 2 way voice and spotlight make up for it.

    Basic camera's only issue i have is you can not swivel at the head part if at an agle. You can swivle the body to an angle, but head part No, which makes no sense, so you can straighten the head part correct. Loser's theirs better camera's don't waste your money like I did

      Posted .

      Thank you for the feedback and sorry to hear that you not happy with the ranges of adjustment with our camera mounts. We have passed this feedback on to our engineering team. We do offer multiple camera types to allow for flexible positioning. It sounds like a dome camera might work better for this application. Please let us know if we may be of any further assistance. Thanks, Night Owl SP Digital Support Team

    Overall a good product. Night vision isnt always clear. At times one camera won't change from night vision to day vision. I would still recommend this product.
