First Alert 575 SD Card Recording Unit with Color Wired Camera and 100-Foot Cable Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The camera is better used indoors. Even though it's mounted under an eve, the sun and heat cause the camera's picture to change colors (mostly red) and clouds can mess up the brightness, making the picture look dark during the day. The night vision is only good at close range, about 5 feet. So it's better to mount the camera in a place with a motion activated light. The only good thing about the camera is that it's small and compact. You can hide it pretty well, which I recommend doing. It's made of plastic and can be easily broken. You can only see clearly about 10-15 feet away, on a good day. The 100 feet of cable is a lot longer than I expected, plenty to go around the house.

The recorder is the best thing about this kit. The motion senor works most, almost all, of the time. It depends on how far a moving object is or where the camera is pointed and if it's too dark. The recorder captures an amazing amount of pictures or video on a 2 gb SD memory card, sold seperatly. It also sorts the captures into date labeled directories for easy reference. The controls take a bit of time to get use to but it is extremely easy to use and setup.

INSTALL NOTE: You have to have 2 outlets to plug into, one for the camera and one for the recorder. Make sure, wherever it's going, that there is 2 oulets.

I recommend getting this system and then eventually getting a better camera. The recorder is awesome but the camera is crappy. However, it's better than not having anything at all.
