Small, simple, SDI camera for a wide shot of a live streaming setup.Unfortunately the view is inconsistently "banded", with horizontal stripes of luminance across the field of view - only noticeable on areas of wall etc... and that's irritating.I might try flipping the camera over so it scans "up" rather than down.

This security camera has a field of view of 73°.The MOKOSE Mini SDI Camera includes a 2MP camera with 1080P HD resolution, resulting in crystal-clear footage that captures every detail with precision. It employs a 1/2.8 CMOS sensor with high sensitivity to improve the camera's performance and make it capable of handling a wide range of lighting conditions. Whether it's day or night, it maintains image quality while providing 24-hour surveillance.Installation is simple, and the compact design of this camera allows for discreet placement, ensuring that it doesn't distract from the aesthetic of its surroundings. Its durability and weather-resistant features make it a dependable choice for both indoor and outdoor security needs. However, it does not have built-in infrared (IR) LEDs for night vision.Overall, this is a nice option for security-conscious people.

I am not a CCTV specialist and this camera seems to be specialist camera, unfortunately it comes with few to no instructions, no cables and no way to connect it other than through RCA cables which leads me to believe that this is made to replace old CCTV cameras, which if you have one of these systems this camera may be what you are looking for.However even if that is the fact the seller has made a poor effort in advising this and as such the product seems baffling to me ..a CCTV camera that connects through RCA cables has no waterproof features and the focus is manual ...has realistically no place in today's home security cameras which no offence to the seller or the product for half the price comes with waterproof, zoom, night vision2-way speakers etc...its main selling point I think is that it replaces or connects to old CCTV systems.

Its a small camera but it does do the business.Its a good design with a good lens and set up was fairly straightforward.I was disappointed in that I wanted to connect it to mt external garage wall but its not weatherproof.besides tat I found the colours a bit off and dull compared to my security camera and web cams.

The small form factor allows for discreet installation in various locations, making it suitable for covert surveillance or applications where space is limited. The high-definition video resolution provides clear and detailed visuals, aiding in identification and monitoring activities. The camera performs well in both day and night lighting conditions, ensuring 24/7 monitoring capabilities. The SDI interface offers high-quality, uncompressed video transmission, ideal for professional security systems. However, setting up and configuring the camera might require technical expertise or assistance from a qualified installer

I ordered this for a friend to use, she's used it both inside with a dance group and outside in her garden.She says it's been best in the garden, and although the footage isn't amazing it's certainly good enough.It's a useful size and easy to install. It's also discreet.Thanks for reading, I hope you find this review helpful.
