Pros: The Avue AV665SCW28 Surveillance Camera is pretty good for the price, but not great, and feels solid, since it is metal, not cheap plastic. The camera is wired with a standard BNC connector and power plug that most surveillance systems use. Objects that are within 8ft of the center of the lens are very clear and focused. Objects that are further away and toward the edge of the lens are not as clear or focused, but you can still tell the difference between a small dog or cat. The translated instructions tell you that the focus can be adjusted, but they do not tell you how to do adjust the focus. Outside, the color saturation is high in the daytime, but black and white at night. Although the camera is described as 600TVL high resolution, the image on my 47" monitor does not seem any better than the images from my Swann Pro 580 cameras, which are rated as 480TVL resolution. Since the camera has a wide angle 2.8mm lens, the image has a fish-eye appearance, which is normal for a wide angle lens.

Cons: The camera is a clone. Their is no indication on the camera, box, or instructions that anything is made by Avue! Avue cameras say Avue in big green lettering. The box is just a generic camera box and the generic instructions have no contact information.

Overall Review: I would never buy a camera rated less than 480TVL resolution, os this one works well. The next time this camera goes on sale, I plan to buy 2 more to replace the cameras that cover the driveway and front sidewalk area.
