I’ll start this article off with one of the only negative things we have to say about this camera – the first one we received was DOA (replaced in 2 days) and we needed it for an install the next day! Well, that 2 day replament was worth the wait because this camera produces one of the best, true-to-life pictures we have seen.
PROs: Excellent Picture Quality (Rich Colors, True-to-life detailing in even extreme backlight / contrast lighting conditions), Easy to Use & Setup (especially with the Pelco mini-view plug-in monitor!), Pelco Service & Warranty
CONs: Pricing
RECOMMENDATION: Worth the price if you consider the Pelco warranty & service & have an area with scene lighting differential or even if your customer (or you!) require a true-to-life picture in any scene. There are other versions of this camera technology available for about 70% of the price of this one if you are not worried about service & warranty term.
