I like it. I was worried the 2MP sensors wouldn't capture enough detail, but they do fairly well

Pulling my weight
Mine replaced 2 cameras. I have a detached garage set back from my house in my back yard. So the wide angle covers the backyard facing the back of the house. The medium perfectly hits my where my cars are parked and the long hits the end of the drive.

It would MILES better if it were 4MP 1/1.8 sensor... did I mention that?
And a sunny day would help. Light makes everything better

As far as the lighting, overcast gives a more uniform light. Yes, sun gives more contrast and the image appears sharper, but at times can be too contrasty and have dark shadows and blown out highlights.
And he doesn't know how to use a parking brake. One of these times the parking pin will shear, and the vehicle will roll away on him

We’ll get used to hearing it anyway. I’m still pissed off they took carburetors away
That 2mp sensor takes me back in time when the 5231 series was King,

Pretty impressed with it picking up IVS Intrusion alerts on vehicles at 300ft at night

Based on one night of testing, I think I’ve found one of the most useful cases for this fixed cam.
Detecting vehicles at 300+ ft
It does it effortlessly with what I can tell to be 99%+ accuracy.
