Q-See QS2350C Weatherproof Color CCD Camera Kit With Built-in Heat Circulating Blower

For the vast majority of my purchases from Amazon they have been nothing short of sterling . . . .this purchase unfortunately was the exception - purchased this along with 6 other CCD security cameras along with two DVR . . . . . did not open this box until almost three weeks later as I was installing cameras one at a time . . . . guess what ?? No bracket or hardware !!! and the box was sealed . . . . . I know Q-see makes a good product . . . but quality control on ensuring what they state us in the box . . . is ACTUALLY in the box . . . . . contacted Amazon . . . . . more to follow . . . .as I see how Amazon handles the missing parts !!

The camera does not have sufficient information to tell you why or how the circulating blower works. Although it gives great video (somewhat blurred) in daylight it also gives good video in color at night for a very good distance these attributes cannot be overcome by the large size and the fact that it requires the power source (110 outlet) where the camera is located. Power cannot be supplied over a dual wire cable similar to other Q-See cameras. Would not recommend due to size and power requirement.

I am purchasing another one of these as i write this. The simple
statement of " works as advertised " doesn't begin to cover this
product.
As the owner of numerous Panasonic and Sony cameras, this one is
certainly worth the price.
Another customer wrote about the appearance of the unit alone as a
deterrent to would-be crooks and bad guys is true.
This camera will certainly get peoples attention, so if you are
concerned about irritating your neighbors, i would place it in an
less noticeable location ! As for the interference it creates, as
one reviewer noted, i haven't seen any evidence of this. Also have
checked with my neighbors about any possible problems and have not
heard anything negative. ( i have one that will complain about
everything--no matter what, as I'm sure many of you who read this
do too !.)
All in all a great little addition to any security system. S. Dunn

I purchased a set of these cameras as part of an outdoor surveillance system and both the daylight and night-time images have proved to be surprisingly good for the price you pay. The built-in heater seems to be functioning as advertised as our night images are clear and free of fogging. The night vision seems to drop off at around 50-60 feet.

Unlike some of the cheaper outdoor (plastic) camera housings, this camera features a durable metal housing which gives it a more "expensive" look and feel. I only wish Q-See had given this model a pan-tilt-zoom option. The lens is good for an overall "parking lot" view however it would have been nice to be able to switch out the lens for a wide-angle lens. Even though this camera is only rated at 420 TV lines, I found that the image quality beats the Q-See QSD360 Outdoor Vandalproof Dome CCD Camera (Color), which is rated at 480 TVL.

Pros: Durable housing, good image quality, night vision suprisingly clear, price

Cons: No pan or tilt add-on option, no wide-angle view

Bought a kit with 2 of these and 4 of the non-heated Q-See outdoor cameras. At night the non-heated cameras tend to fog up making any real detail nearly impossible to make out while the QS2350C remains clear.

A real CON for this camera is the need for 120v power near the camera. The other cameras are powered by the video/power cable which you plug in near the DVR.
