Product Description
This is the top of the line model of wireless night vision CCTV security cameras. See actual day and night video from this camera at http://www.sharxsecurity.com/video/SCX2906F.wmvLike all Sharx TM wireless security camera kits the Sharx Pro-CCD TM is very easy to use. You simply connect the included receiver to a TV (or a computer with standard NTSC video input). Then you take the camera where you want to use it, up to 300 ft away from the receiver, and plug it into power with the included AC adapter. You can immediately see video from your camera on your TV, and you can add more Sharx indoor/outdoor wireless cameras or baby monitors if you like, up to 4 total. In households near 2.4 GHz Wifi b or g networks you can use up to 2 cameras without interference as long as you follow the recommended channel selection guidelines. This camera has both a full size antenna and the maximum allowed power output, so it has the maximum omnidirectional transmission range of any 2.4GHz wireless CCTV camera that can be sold in the USA. Although many cameras are advertised to have a 300 ft theoretical range in a wide open field with no obstructions, this is the camera that comes closest to achieving that.A fully adjustable indoor / outdoor mounting bracket is included, as well as a removable sun shade. Camera can be placed on a desktop, mounted to a wall or ceiling, or used with a camera tripod.This camera is tuned infrared sensitivity for best possible night vision ability. This can make some colors look different from the way they are perceived with the human eye. If natural looking colors are more important to you than best possible night vision, choose the smaller and less expensive Sharx DoubleCam camera set instead.Can be used as add-on or replacement camera for Swann BlackKnight or other industry standard 2.4GHz wireless cameras.

Can't get any more bang for the buck than this camera. As said by others, the night-vision is absolutely its best feature. Also as mentioned previously, the colors in the daytime are a bit washed-out...but unless you're wanting to use it for bird-watching or some other application where true/lifelike colors matter, the clarity and reach of its night-vision more than makes up for slight fading of daytime colors. Recommend this camera highly, and also the seller who is providing it (SecurCam_Retail). They are fast (with both shipping and responses to questions), friendly and helpful.
Great Camera SCX2906F October 23, 2008

This purchase was money well spent! The camera has great daytime clarity & color. The wireless function worked immediately & reception was sharp. The camera is outside overlooking the driveway & walkway. Quality picture & I get to see the cat roaming around. Night vision is unbelievable; the leds light a more narrow field of view. Impressive. The camera & receiver are connected to the computer & I will access video remotely from Florida using Logmein. Works great. When I return from Florida, I will purchase additional units gladly. I think I like it. Vic Fulgoni
Sharx PRO CCD No Disappointments October 16, 2008

You're in the market for a wireless Surveillance camera. You have seen poor resolution & interference on many, and you wonder if any good ones are out there under $500. The Sharx PRO CCD SCX2906F is for you. Strong signal & 4 channel choices with this 2906F produce the results you are after. I have mine hooked up to a portable DVD player [just be sure your DVD has an A/V Input jack,the little 3.5mm size].The PRO CCD includes the typical RCA cable to connect to your normal TV. This unit is GREAT !

Decent camera October 6, 2008

Like other reviewers of some of the cameras for sale on amazon, I too have had my share of disappointments with trying to find a security camera that delivers on its promises. I had never heard of the Sharx brand camera until a few months ago. Even though it is made in China, it is a very good quality camera. I bought this one specifically for the night vision and the high output antenna for reaching through several walls at my house. Years ago I bought a wired 940 nm night vision camera, but I didn't want to spend three hundred dollars again. (or five hundred dollars for the wireless setup). Since the reviews have been good for the Sharx brand cameras, it seemed like one hundred dollars for a wireless night vision camera would be a good gamble. Especially if the camera did what it said it would do...and despite the fact that it doesn't have the 940 nm leds. This camera is transmitting through a brick wall and two interior walls with no problems whatsoever. The output is crystal clear. The night vision is reaching approximately sixty-five feet in pitch black, and is able to show detail at that range. The cheaper Sharx Silver Bullet camera maxed out at about 20 feet if you strained hard to see. The Silver Bullet couldn't reach through all the walls either without a lot of static.
The Sharx Pro CCD camera has colors that appear washed out in daytime while the Silver Bullet outputs much better looking daytime color, however.
Since I already had a silver bullet, my Sharx Pro camera arrived with the same 2.4 GHz channel setting. Each reciever can accommodate four cameras and both of my cameras were set to channel one...which means they conflicted. The Pro CCD camera instruction manual gives very simple two step directions on how to change the camera channel by way of an internal dip switch. The tool to change the dip switch is also included. In less than a minute I changed the channel to number 2 so both cameras could work without conflicting. I am using three cameras along with the Q-See QSPDVR04 4 Channel Digital Video Recorder PCI Card which is also sold on amazon. The setup works. Video is recorded independently from each camera to my hard drive in one hour segments. At any time, I can review previous video, even while viewing live video. I estimate about two to three weeks of recording on my small 40 gig drive running 24/7. However, I have been zipping the data daily and archiving it. Larger drives would require virtually no maintenance for months. Some people have said the Q-See QSPDVR04 4 Channel Digital Video Recorder PCI Card distorts the video with its mpeg compression. I haven't noticed any problem with the compression. There is a setting in the config menu where the user can change the record quality from lowest to highest. Out of the box, the quality is set to medium. On the highest quality setting, the picture looks good, even when viewed full screen on a 22 inch monitor.
So, (in comparison to other cameras in this price range) the Pros are:
1. Powerful antenna that reaches through walls. (you may have to move the antennas on both the receiver and transmitter around)
2. Good night vision with leds that are not overly bright. Contrast this with the Sharx Silver Bullet camera that has BRIGHT night vision leds.
CONS:
1. Poor daytime color.
2. Must have an electrical outlet to plug the camera in to.
