I currently am using two of these at my house. One on the back patio and one on the walkout garage door. Super easy to setup. I use Blue Iris software on a computer to run it. Good day and night clarity on both cameras. Can be mounted on either a horizontal or vertical surface. Mine are hung from the soffits and using POE. There is adjustment to level the picture viewing however you like either left/right, up/down, or tilt. I find the EXIR to be better and brighter than the standard IR found circling around the lens. At night it has a very prominent single red light when looking at the camera. I don't currently need any more 2.8MM cameras but if I did I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this again. I find they are only really clear to about 30 feet. Wide viewing is for close areas. My 4mm EXIR bullet is a much better yard camera and what you loose in viewing angle you gain in distance but both have their purpose. Thanks Nelly's

These are my go to cameras for all my installations! They are discreet and tough as nails with an all metal construction. The EXIR IR light has a great spread pattern to illuminate the area at night.

This camera is fantastic. It is well constructed and works very well. I have had it for about a year now, and it has stayed online the entire time. This is a solid camera and Nelly's has been nothing but great and helpful.

I have multiple pairs of these cameras mounted outdoors. They are solid and have plenty of adjustment capabilities to get the lens positioned correctly. I will be purchasing more!

I love these cameras the clarity on these things are amazing both day and night. I liked the domes but these have won my heart since the night vision is so much better and they seem to have a wider view.

To the cons the picture is amazing but on the edges of the pictures at a distance it blurs up and not as clear as say in the middle of the picture. unfortunately its a trade off i guess.
The plastic ring that goes around the camera to hiding the mounting points IS RIDICULOUSlY tough to get unlocked and locked as the plastic from being squeezed tends to lock it in even more. That is the biggest con and beef i have with this camera otherwise all worth the few minutes of unpleasant words that may slip out.

In terms of using a 2.8mm lens, I think this is probably the best quality you're going to see. It can't get great detail at the edges due to the limitations of using a wide angle lens, but so long as you're careful with placement, it gets plenty of detail across the middle of the view and the rest of the coverage will supplement your security up to about 90 degree field of view (you don't need a full quality portrait shot in every frame, you just need at least one plus good video of what actions that person is doing). The EXIR lighting is excellent at night, up to maybe 30 feet if you're setting this up under the eaves and pointing it at least partway down. While I like the 2MP version of this camera as well, the video quality of this one (as well as vertical coverage) is definitely superior.

I have bought 4 of these now and have yet to have a problem. Picture quality is excellent, the EXIR is better than traditional IR, and a 2.8mm lens on a 4mp camera can really cut down on the number of required cameras to cover a large area. Overall my favorite camera.

I have 4 of these around my house. They have great resolution and are very easy to install. Never had a problem with any of them that I bought. Outside in Canadian winters, no problem, not even a hiccup. Went back and forth with Nellys with a few questions before I bought. The thing I like about Nelly's is the great support, US retail boxed, English firmware. I don't buy my cameras from anywhere else, i don't like surprises and Nelly's is the best!
