Sentient NO5FW Outdoor CCTV Day & Night Camera

night vison on these cameras is a total nil

Set the camera up in the daylight, picture was fine for a wireless camera in daylight but the apparent infa red at night is very very poor.

Baught this from Maplins not my first choice of shop and will be returning tomorrow with one NO5FW CCTV.

Think the person who reviewed before me is right GET one sorted professionally, or add a sercurity light, Although this defeats the object.

I would not recommend this camera,the picture flickers a lot I would have one professionally fitted see http://www.cctvinstallation.org for great deals on proper quality cctv installation that will last.

These units are available from companies like Maplin at a cost of just under £80.00p. I bought mine off Ebay for £45.00p.

The monitor is smart, neat and attractive. The Camera is poorly mounted and needs careful delicate handling. Setting up couldn't be easier just plug and play. The handbook is an absolute joke. It carries literally the very basics of information and there's no back-up on the Web. Example: The box contains two power supply units. One is 9 volt the other 12 volt. To find which one is used for what needs careful searching. (12v for monitor). Example: The monitor peeps if something comes within range of the Camera. This is not mentioned in the handbook. The range of the wireless Camera is extremely poor but as with all wireless equipment the manufacturers range claims must be taken with a huge portion of salt. The picture quality is superb but the constant rolling or flicker is irritating.

Would I reccomend the Sentient NO5FW CCTV. The answer is a cautious 'YES' but buyers should be made aware of the shortcomings and lack of back up.
