They're both the same specs, though. <br /> <br />During the day, this camera looks very good. Color is bright and the video is pretty sharp considering the small size of the optics. The camera mounted easily with three screws and a single thumb screw allows you to adjust where the camera points. One little thing I noticed, though, is when you tighten the thumb screw, the camera tries to pull a bit to the right. Make sure you take that into account when fine tuning the framing of your shot. <br /> <br />Unfortunately, the night vision isn't that great. The image is very noisy and doesn't reach even half the rated distance without some light in the area. With the flood lights on my building, the image is acceptable at the full 50 feet - but that's looking along the front of the building where the lights are the strongest. Looking out into the lot where the light falls off, the image is useless. For my use, it's fine. However, not everyone has 300 watts of flood lights covering the area. Most people will see maybe 15-20 feet maximum. <br /> <br />In short, for most night use, this is a close-up area camera for getting a shot of people entering doors. For anything more than that, step up to something better. For day use, it's quite good. Rating: 3 / 5 I have essentially the same model – just shiny aluminum instead of black.
