SteveRF,
My two cents for what it is worth.
I have 7 of the X10 cameras, two wired and
5 wireless. I also have 3 of the Pan and
Tilt basses. From my point of view the
reliability is excellent. I have had some
of the camera for 3 years now and not had a
single failure. I have one of the pan and
tilt units on the north side of the house
(the side exposed to the weather) and it
has worked flawlessly even during the snowy
winter months.
As far as the video quality. I have a high
quality Sony monitor and on that the
quality of the video is fair. On a
standard TV the video quality is fair at
best. On the computer the quality is poor.
Having said that, in my opinion, the video
quality is acceptable for what I use it
for. (general outside surveillance of my
property)
One of the biggest problems I have with the
cameras is their poor performance in low
light. Even their so called “low light”
cameras are useless with out a good source
of lighting.
Having said all of that I must like them as
I do have 7 of them. Just remember you get
what you pay for and when they are running
a special they are well worth the money.
