Pros
The Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera has one of the best infrared systems out there. For most users, 80 feet night vision allows for highly effective monitoring even in the black of night, and the detailed picture lets you not skip a beat no matter what time of day it is. The casing itself is able to withstand most environmental issues and is powerful enough to handle being hit with some blunt objects. The long cord is enough to keep it anywhere in the house, and the price for such a high quality camera is competitive with other, less functional cameras.
Cons
The resolution on the Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera is good, but could be better. Night vision distances are good detail, but the further you get the more that detail tends to be lost. Part of this is because while there are many LED lights on the Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera model, they are not as bright as the LED lights on some other models.
It is not uncommon for other cameras to have a zoom feature as well, which the Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera does not, and there have been image problems reported at the very bottom and type of the video created by the camera, thought these have been relatively minor and in general do not occur.
Overall Impressions
The Q-See product line has many great cameras, and the Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera is no different. It provides a high quality image for the price, it works well at night, and it is durable against a variety of weather conditions. There are justifiable criticisms with the quality of images in the distance, especially at night, as well as the brightness of the LED lights, so the Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera is not going to be the right choice for everyone, especially if night vision quality is the feature you need the most. But for the price of the Q-See QSC48030 CCD Camera, the quality is still quite good, and the durability of it makes it a fine addition to the Q-See product line. You can buy it online here.
